In August 2023, Kanye and Bianca jetted off to Italy for a luxury holiday. The trip grabbed headlines as Kanye was caught in a compromising position with Bianca while on a boat.
Kanye flashed his bum to a crowd of shocked onlookers while his wife crouched in front of him. The incident led to the couple being banned by the Venetian boat rental company.
Venezia Turismo Motoscafi, the company that rented Kanye and Bianca the boat, slammed the couple’s risqué display and said they had no idea what they were getting up to on board the boat. “On board, the driver had to keep a lookout for traffic and did not see these obscenities. If this had happened, he would have immediately disembarked and reported the transgressors to those in authority,” they said in a statement shared with the Daily Mail.
They added: “In addition, there was a third person on board the taxi, who accompanied Mr. and Mrs. West, who obstructed the captain’s view to the stern in any case.” Kanye and Bianca had been accompanied by a woman on the boat trip.
