Kanye West Spotted At San Francisco’s Exploratorium

Rapper Kanye West, now known as Ye, and his model wife, Bianca Censori, celebrated the Fourth of July in a unique way by exploring the Exploratorium. According to TMZ, the couple stood out among the usual crowd of schoolchildren and tourists, probably wondering if they’d stumbled into a reality show.

Photos show Censori, 29, rocking sheer leggings, a baby blue tube top, and metallic heels—perfect attire for a science museum, obviously—while West, 47, opted for the classic “I-just-woke-up” look with a baggy white hooded sweatshirt, pants, and matching sneakers. He also snagged a black hood branded with the Exploratorium logo at the gift shop, because who doesn’t need more hoods?

The pair explored multiple exhibits, including a mirror setup where they were photographed sitting across from each other, looking “totally engaged” and blending in “like ordinary citizens,” according to TMZ. Some visitors recognized them but largely respected their privacy, probably thinking, “Who knew Ye was so into science?”

A representative from the Exploratorium mentioned that the staff had no clue Ye and Censori would be stopping by. The couple tied the knot in December 2022 after West’s divorce from Kim Kardashian, marking a new chapter in “Keeping Up with the Ex-Kanye.”

Their Independence Day outing comes during a turbulent period for Kanye West. A lawsuit filed in Los Angeles last week alleges that former employees developing an app for West were “viciously bullied” over their ages, races, genders, sexual orientations, and national origins. New employees were reportedly added to a Discord channel named “new slaves,” later changed after an employee pointed out it was “blatantly racist.” You’d think someone in that group chat could’ve suggested a better name.

West, along with associates including Milo Yiannopoulos, allegedly forced workers, including children, to endure long hours, sometimes without sleep, sacrificing school and personal time. The lawsuit also claims child workers were exposed to pornography by Censori during the development of an app called Yeezy Porn. Because nothing says “cutting-edge app development” like inappropriate content and child labor.

Meanwhile, West’s legal troubles continue as his attorney in a lawsuit brought by an autograph dealer seeking damages for alleged assault filed to withdraw from the case, citing noncommunication and nonpayment from West. In court papers filed on July 1, attorney Brian Brumfield stated that West terminated their working relationship on June 21, adding, “Defendant also will not speak to counsel and defendant refuses to pay counsel as well.” Classic Ye.

A hearing on the withdrawal motion is scheduled for July 29. In the meantime, Ye might want to consider adding “pay lawyer” to his to-do list, right after “visit science museum” and “rename Discord server to something that won’t get you fucking sued.”
