Bianca Censori DEACTIVATES her Instagram amid Kanye West split claims

Bianca Censori has shut down her Instagram account, following reports that she and Kanye West have split and maybe planning to divorce.

The model, 29, had previously shared a slew of racy images on her grid under the handle @bianca.censori, but it appears her page has now vanished.

Kanye, 47, has also once again wiped his account of all images except for one, which was posted on February 28.

The image shows a Whatsapp exchange with Justin Laboy, who interviewed the Grammy Winner in April.

The message read: 'I'm closing my Instagram account, My name is Ye. No brand or numbers gonna force me to call myself what they want me to still be.'

In January, a source claimed that Kanye banned Bianca from using social media to protect her from negative comments.

'Bianca has always had social media and she was active on it – until she married Kanye,' an insider exclusively told DailyMail.com.

'He doesn't want her to have it because he thinks that it will hurt her if she had to read the nasty things that people say.

'He convinced her that, since she is a star now, she has to remain a mystery and it is creepy to those who know her as it feels like another form of control.'

However, friends took issue with the fact the rapper, who goes by the name Ye, is posting racy images of his wife on his own Instagram account – despite allegedly claiming she needs protection.

The insider added: 'He is pushing her nakedness all over his own [account] so that he can control her narrative. It is disturbing, and by shutting her off from the world he is causing her to become more and more isolated.'

Friends are said to be stunned to see the usually assertive designer going along with Kanye's demands as the source stressed: 'This strong Bianca that was not going to deal with his s*** anymore has seemingly vanished once again.

'She is wearing what he wants, going where he wants and doing what he wants because she really has no other choice. She went from being his designer to his wife, which is unfortunately, not a paid position. She's trapped.'

On Monday it was reported that Kanye and Bianca had secretly called it quits 'weeks ago', with the rapper reportedly 'ready for divorce' from the model.

It is said that the Bound 2 hitmaker felt that his wife of almost two years 'wasn't as into him as she was in the beginning' of their relationship.

And it was evident that things were strained between the couple in their final public outing as they headed on a shopping trip in Tokyo on September 20.

Dressed in a typically skimpy ensemble consisting of a nude vest and cycle shorts teamed with black boots, Bianca looked downcast as she checked out clothes in a store.

Meanwhile Kanye, who opted for a black hoodie and shorts, echoed her glum expression.

The pair appeared to barely interact and failed to raise a smile as they purchased some items from the store ahead of the world learning of their split.

Kanye West and Bianca Censori's wildest moments as a couple: A look back amid pair's split

It comes as it's been reported that Bianca's split from Kanye was largely influenced by the fact she couldn't 'ignore' her family's questions about the more troubling part of their relationship, sources have claimed.

On Monday morning TMZ reported that the rapper and his wife have been on the outs for a while and are 'possibly' planning to file for divorce.

The rap star has been in Tokyo while Bianca is believed to have returned to her native Australia to be with her family during this tough time.

Now, insiders have claimed the pair had been 'drifting apart,' before a recent visit from her loved ones confirmed the end of their romance.  

'They broke up some time ago,' a source told DailyMail.com exclusively. 'Bianca started to see the relationship in a new light when her friends and family voiced concerns about the way she was dressing in public and Kanye felt that she wasn't as into him as she was in the beginning.'

The source continued: 'There are no hard feelings but she couldn't ignore her family when they asked her to explain the stranger parts of their relationship. They have broken up before so there is a chance they'll reunite.

Bianca was pictured with her sisters Alyssia and Angelina, and mother Alexandra, in mid August after they flew in to visit her in Los Angeles. 

The controversial couple were reportedly already 'drifting,' but everything changed after their visit. 

'She spent some time with her family and was different afterwards,' the insider continued. 'Kanye sensed it was coming because they have been drifting apart and people around him sense that he still wants to be with Kim.

'Bianca definitely has other ambitions and was concerned about turning into [his ex Amber Rose]. She wants to create her own brand.'

Elsewhere, a second insider noted that Bianca still cares for the troubled rapper, adding: 'She does care deeply for him and loves his kids, but she also knows that he has issues that she could never correct.'

The insider explained that friends believe the Australian beauty will walk away 'a very rich woman' as they noted: 'Her friends believe that she is ready to take him for what he is worth and walk away a very rich woman as they did not sign a prenup.'

The insider added: 'She has not been with him for weeks. She is home with her family in Australia where she wants to be. 

'Bianca morphed into exactly what he wanted her to be. She knew that he fell for her because she was the spitting image of Kim and she felt he was still in love with her.'

Explaining that the future looks bright for the architectural designer, the insider concluded: 'She is now known worldwide. She is recognized for her attire and will be using this to develop her own brand.'
