Kanye West Performs With Daughter North Amid Reports That Wife Bianca Censori Tried to Leave Marriage

Kanye West returned to the stage on January 30, and he brought his daughter North West along.

The 48-year-old rapper, who now goes by Ye, had not performed live in well over a year before the show in Mexico City at Monumental Plaza de Toros La México, which was the first of two planned concerts there. West performed his hits, including “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” and “Power,” and brought his 12-year-old daughter onstage to perform two of his songs on which she is featured, “Talking” and “Bomb,” as well as “Only One,” a song featuring Paul McCartney which was released as a single in 2014.

The concert comes days after the 24-time Grammy winner took out a full page ad in The Wall Street Journal to apologize for his past antisemitic behavior (which includes releasing a song titled “Heil Hitler” and selling shirts with swastikas on them) and open up about his struggles with bipolar disorder.

“I lost touch with reality,” he wrote in part, explaining that bipolar mania convinced him he was not sick.

“I regret and am deeply mortified by my actions in that state, and am committed to accountability, treatment, and meaningful change. It does not excuse what I did, though. I am not a Nazi or an antisemite. I love Jewish people,” he continued. “The Black community is, unquestionably, the foundation of who I am. I am so sorry to have let you down. I love us.”

On the same day that West took the stage in Mexico, People reported that West’s wife, architectural designer Bianca Censori, tried to leave him multiple times before he sought treatment for his illness.

“Bianca had been very unhappy in their marriage for a while and tried to get out a number of times,” a source told the outlet.

In an email interview with Vanity Fair published after the WSJ ad appeared, West elaborated on how he finally got help, saying that after four months of mania in early 2025, he entered a depression. “My wife recognized that, and we sought out what’s been an effective and stabilizing course correction in my regime from a rehab facility in Switzerland,” he said.

West’s longtime manager, John Monopoly, told People that the rapper is now “in a great place and taking accountability for the things he says and does For the first time in a while, he is really approaching his mental health head-on and making a valiant effort to deal with it.”
