Kanye West Says He ‘Had to Fight for 5 Hours’ to Get Grammy Tickets, Hints It Started His X ‘Rampage’

Kanye “Ye” West and Bianca Censori made a scene at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards. Censori debuted Yeezy’s “invisible dress” on the red carpet, showing off her naked body after dropping her black fur coat with West by her side. The couple left the Grammys shortly after their red carpet stunt, causing viewers to wonder whether they received an invite to the star-studded event. Here’s what West recently tweeted about the incident.

Kanye ‘Ye’ West says he fought ‘for 5 hours’ for him and Bianca Censori to receive Grammy Awards tickets

Kanye “Ye” West and Bianca Censori didn’t attend the 67th Annual Grammy Awards for long. Grammys executive producer Raj Kapoor told People that the couple was only invited to the red carpet and not the awards ceremony.

“From what I understand, they were there for the red carpet,” Kapoor explained. “I’m not sure if he was at Pre-Tel [a special pre-telecast presentation where most of the awards were handed out], which is at the Peacock Theater before the main show. But that award was definitely in Pre-Tel.”

After the Grammys and the Super Bowl, West took to X to share antisemitic and problematic rants. Shortly afterward, he left the platform. However, he returned on Saturday, Feb. 15, 2025, to discuss the Grammys in a now-deleted tweet.

“How could the Grammies nominate me then not give me tickets and then people mad when I go off,” he wrote, according to the New York Post. “I had to fight for 5 hours and call everyone I knew to get tickets to the Grammies. They eventually gave me tickets but only for the red carpet. At that point, I hadn’t started the rampage [sic].”

It’s unclear when West will return to X permanently.
