Kanye West attracted significant attention at the 2025 Grammy Awards red carpet this week, not only for his rare public appearance, but also for his visibly slimmer physique. While his wife, Bianca Censori, made headlines with her nearly-nude fur coat stunt on the carpet, many social media users couldn’t help but notice West’s alleged weight loss.
The “Heartless” rapper, 46, sported a tucked-in black tee and fitted slacks, a departure from his usual preference for looser clothing, which accentuated his slimmer waistline. As reported by the Express Tribune, fans and critics headed to social media soon after the Grammys to share their thoughts on his leaner look.


Kanye West’s Dramatic 50-Pound Weight Loss At The 2025 Grammys Fuels Ozempic Speculation
According to the source, some commenters speculated that the father of four (who shares daughter North, 11, son Saint, 9, daughter Chicago, 7, and son Psalm, 5, with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian) could be using Ozempic, a diabetes medication that several Hollywood celebrities have confessed to using for weight management. "Yo, is Ye in OZ?" one user wrote as another recently commented: "Kanye has gone Ozempic crazy like the rest of Hollywood, c’mon bro!"
Although the "Runaway" artist received a nomination for Best Rap Song for Carnival featuring Ty Dolla $ign, his time at the Los Angeles arena was brief. TMZ reports that Ye walked the red carpet, took some photos with his wife Censori, 30, who donned a completely see-through skintight mini dress, and then quickly departed.

The "I Wonder" hitmaker continues to garner controversy this week for his alleged mistreatment of his wife on the carpet, and for promoting anti-Semitic messages on X (formerly Twitter). As he tweeted soon after sparking backlash: "I have dominion over my wife." He added that their relationship is apparent "no woke as[s] feminist sh-t."
He continued: "She’s with a billionaire why would she listen to any of you dumb ass broke bit---s." And he didn't stop there. In his recent rant, the Yeezy mogul also praised Elon Musk and Adolf Hitler (writing "Hitler was sooooo fresh"). In another now-deleted post, Ye wrote: "I'm racist stereotypes exist for a reason and they all be true." On the social media platform, Ye continues to share messages like these in all caps.
