Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori have reportedly been banned for life by a Venetian boat rental company following the rapper’s recent alleged indecent exposure.
The couple sparked controversy last Monday (August 28) after pictures surfaced of them enjoying a romantic moment on a water taxi in Venice, Italy.
Photographs of the pair revealed the controversial rapper, 46, appearing to expose his bare buttocks in front of gawking tourists while his 28-year-old Australian bride placed her head in his lap.
The Yeezy designer - who was dressed in all black for the boast outing - partially concealed his face with a cloth covering as he sat atop the vessel. Meanwhile, Censori was photographed sitting near him down below.
After the captain docked, the Architectural designer was caught adjusting her leather trench coat as she stepped off the boat with West and an unidentified female companion.
Venezia Turismo Motoscafi - the company that rented the boat to West and Censori - is one of Venice's leading private navigation companies, boasting an exceptional array of celebrity clientele, including Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, Harry Styles, Lady Gaga, and Florence Pugh.
The company has since spoken exclusively to Daily Mail Australia after the 'Gold Digger' rapper and his wife caused a commotion online, and declared that they are "no longer welcome" aboard their boats.
In its statement, Venezia Turismo Motoscafi condemned the pair's risqué activity, while confirming it was "completely unaware" of what transpired on the boat, explaining: "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," the company continued. They also called out "a third person on board the taxi" who was accompanying the duo and "obstructed the captain’s view" to the back of the boat.
Furthermore, the water taxi organization went on to criticize the couple's explicit public display, stating: "We completely dissociate ourselves from such acts and behavior," and adding: "Mr. West and his wife will certainly no longer be welcome on board our company's boats."
The Grammy-winning musician and his new partner were first romantically linked in January 2023, just months after his divorce from Kim Kardashian - the mother of his four children - was finalized.
The couple then reportedly tied the knot in a private ceremony in Beverly Hills two months later. However, the legality of the union is in question, as they did not file a marriage certificate.
