Jimmy Kimmel couldn’t resist making light of the controversial moment at the 2025 Grammy Awards involving Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, whose bold red carpet stunt left many outraged.
During a recent monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the comedian joked that Will Smith should have slapped Kanye West instead of Chris Rock over the shocking incident. Kimmel’s remarks came in response to the uproar caused by Censori, who appeared at the prestigious event in little more than her birthday suit.
Page Six reported that Kimmel poked fun at West, calling him shameless for allowing his wife’s behavior. “Another rodent came out of his hole to hit the red carpet at the Grammy’s last night,” Kimmel quipped.
The comedian continued to criticize the rapper’s appearance, which he said was only to support Censori, who caused a stir by wearing nearly nothing. “This just goes to show you how much times have changed,” Kimmel remarked. “Before Trump, this would have been the talk of the time. Now, it’s like the ninth craziest thing that happened during the weekend.”
Kimmel also drew attention to the stark contrast between past scandals, referencing the national outrage over Janet Jackson’s 2004 Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction. “Now a completely naked woman is walking the red carpet at the Grammys, and they’re yelling, ‘Bianca, over here! Look here!’”
The humor provided some comic relief, though the incident at the Grammys remains a topic of controversy.
