    Kanye West paid for Bianca Censori to go to rehab because she needed to "work" on herself

    The 31 year old - who married the controversial rapper in 2022 - has opened up about the couple's relationship in a candid new interview with Vanity Fair magazine in which she revealed she spent time at a clinic in Spain because she was suffering from emotional problems and the publication reports she was "self-medicating with benzodiazepines".


    In the chat, Bianca credits her musician husband with paying a "ridiculous" price for her treatment. She said: "I needed to work on myself.

    "Because I had patterns of things that I would do that would not just hurt me but would hurt the people around me ...

    "I put a lot of pressure on other people being the reason for my happiness or the reason for my unhappiness. I would blame someone else if I wasn't feeling good."

    She dec lared rehab "changed my life," adding: "How was I a completely different person? I was very emotionally dysregulated. And I can function now."

    Bianca went on to insist Kanye's decision to pay for her treatment was the best gift he could ever have bought for her.

    She explained: "[I told him] 'Anything that you have ever bought me does not equate to how important this was to me'."

    Kanye previously opened up about his own rehab stint at a clinic in Switzerland last year crediting Bianca with encouraging him to seek help after his behaviour spiralled out of control.

    In a previously published piece in Vanity Fair, Kanye explained: "Toward the end of my four-month-long manic episode, my medication was changed. In that shift, the antipsychotic drug took me into a really deep depressive episode.

    "My wife recognised that, and we sought out what's been an effective and stabilising course correction in my regime from a rehab facility in Switzerland. You must understand bipolar is a disease. It's one of the most lethal nonterminal illnesses."

    But the 48-year-old rapper - admitted he is still trying to work out "what works" for him when it comes to the right course of medication. He said: "I've been put on and taken off of many medications. That's just part of the journey ...

    "I'm just trying to find what works for me so that I can continue down this positive course."

    Kanye's antics included praising Adolf Hitler and selling t-shirts emblazoned with a Swastika, a notorious Nazi hate symbol, and he took out a full-page advertisement in the Wall Street Journal last week (26.01.26) to express his remorse and explain his actions were a result of a lengthy manic episode.
