Who is Bianca Censori’s father Elia “Leo” Censori? A look into Kanye’s wife’s alleged “gangster” family

Kanye West's new song has prompted this new speculation that Bianca Censori has reportedly left him. Bianca Censori, who is the daughter of Elia "Leo" Censori, an alleged drug dealer who was once convicted for heroin possession, has been in a relationship with the "I Wonder" singer since December 2022.

Kanye West, whose new album, WW3, was released on Thursday, features a track titled "BIANCA." The lyrics of the song seem to suggest an end to his relationship with Bianca Censori. The lyrics further hint that the rapper's controversial tweets on X (formerly Twitter) played a role in the alleged rift. The lyrics, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, say:

"My baby she ran away / but first she tried to get me committed / Not going to the hospital ’cause I am not sick I just do not get it.”

More about Bianca Censori's controversial family, amidst reports of split from Kanye West

Bianca Censori was born on 5 January 1995, to parents Alexandra Censori and Elia "Leo" Censori. According to Vanity Fair Italy, Censori's grandparents, Filippo Censori and Grazia Censori, migrated from Giulianova, Italy, in the 1960s, with their five children, Elia, Edmondo, Eliseo, Eris, and Elena.

Biance Censori grew up in Ivanhoe, an upper-middle-class neighborhood in Melbourne, with her family, which included sisters Alyssia and Angelina.

According to NZ Herald, Bianca Censori's father, Elia "Leo" Censori, was arrested in 1982 for illegal possession of heroin, for which he was sentenced to five years in prison and was fined $5,000. According to reports, he also had a prior conviction for possession of an armed weapon.

On the other hand, her uncle, Eris Censori, gained infamy as a "notorious gangland murderer." He was given the death sentence for the 1982 murder of Michael Sideris. However, this sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment. Eris Censori was eventually released on parole in 1991, despite the severity of the earlier court ruling.

Bianca Censori's eldest uncle, Edmondo Censori, was known by his nickname, "Melbourne's Al Capone." He, along with his brother Eris, began working together in the amusement machine business before turning to a life of crime. He has been arrested multiple times for theft and assaulting a police officer.

In a 1991 interview with The Herald Sun, Faye Glascott, the ex-wife of Elia "Leo" Censori, spoke about the family's influence and power, revealing that her former husband made money through gambling. She stated:

"I have seen the money. Leo can stack money better than a bank.”

In a brief statement made to The Daily Mail after Bianca's controversial red carpet appearance at the Grammys, her mother requested privacy for her family, saying,

"We are just normal people, living our own lives as privately as we can. I have nothing to say about Bianca, thank you."

Although Kanye West has, through his songs, hinted at his split from Bianca Censori, no official confirmation has been released from her representatives.
