Handyman Says He Was Blasted by Kanye West After Confusing Kim Kardashian With Bianca Censori

Kanye West once questioned how a handyman didn’t know who his ex-wife Kim Kardashian was, leaving the worker fearing he’d be fired.

Handyman Jeromy Holding, 53, recalled that he once mistook Kardashian, 45, for West’s wife Bianca Censori, 31, when he was working on the rapper’s $57 million oceanfront property in Los Angeles in 2021.

While on the stand during a trial between West, 48, and another worker, Tony Saxon, at the Los Angeles Superior Court, Holding reportedly told how Kardashian — who was married to West from 2014 to 2022 — and her children pulled up at his house in a Lamborghini.

According to The New York Post, after Holding waved and said “hi” to who he thought was Censori, The Kardashians star said: “I don’t know you.”

Holding replied: “I thought you were Bianca.”

West and Kardashian were in the middle of their divorce at the time of the alleged incident, and Holding thought it might lead to him being sacked by the “Gold Digger” singer.

He said West told him afterwards: “She’s the most famous woman in the world and you call her by another woman’s name?”

Holding offered to explain what happened, but West, who is now known as Ye, said “Nahh.” Holding noted that he was not let go by West.

The handyman claimed he was making up to $1,000 a day doing “whatever Kanye asked”.

When quizzed on how often the musician changed his mind about the property’s design, Holding said: “On a dime.”

Holding claimed West settled on a “playground” design, but had previously thought about his mansion looking like a “bomb shelter,” a “monastery” and a “recording studio.”

The trial centers around a lawsuit filed by Saxon, who worked on West’s Malibu mansion.

He is seeking $1 million from the rapper, alleging unpaid wages, unsafe working conditions and wrongful termination.

West and Censori are expected to testify during the trial. The rapper’s spokesman Milo Yiannopoulos told the New York Post: “The truth is that Tony worked as an independent contractor, unlicensed and unsafe, masquerading as a properly licensed worker.”

In February, a source told Globe that Censori is “finally finding her voice” following her interview with Vogue.

“It’s been liberating and cathartic for her to tell the world that she’s so much more than Kanye’s sexy puppet,” said the source.
