Kanye West and Bianca Censori have never been the poster couple for "low-key," but now the headline-happy duo might be grabbing attention for all the wrong (and pricey) reasons. The pair is reportedly under official police investigation in Mallorca, Spain, over an alleged €500,000 in unpaid bills.
The couple, known for treating the world like their personal runway, complete with avant-lingerie daywear and cryptic expressions, has been soaking up the Mediterranean sun for weeks as they checked into one of Europe's most exclusive wellness retreats, which charges up to a jaw-dropping €150,000 per week.

Local authorities, including Palma's Local Police and the National Police, were notified earlier this week that the bills hadn't been paid, triggering an investigation that's now casting a long, expensive shadow.
What They Reportedly Owe
According to the publication, the itemized chaos includes a fee of €400,000 allegedly unpaid for a month-long stay at a lavish estate once owned by Claudia Schiffer, plus services from the luxury wellness clinic.

Kanye's Response
In true Ye fashion, his camp quickly responded, not with apologies, but with an explanation. They claim the entire situation is just a "bank transfer error" and promise everything will be squared away in "two or three days."
But in the meantime, the police file stays open, and the longer the balance remains unpaid, the more heat Kanye and Bianca could face from local authorities.

This isn't exactly uncharted territory for the couple, who have turned public outings into performance art since their unofficial wedding in 2023. Bianca is known for her nearly nude red carpet and outing "outfits." While, Kanye is known for his silence-heavy, statement-laden appearances, scandals, wardrobe malfunctions, and legal hiccups.
What Happens Next?
If Kanye's legal team follows through and the bills magically disappear, this whole scandal might blow over like a particularly expensive breeze. But if not, the consequences could escalate, especially considering Spain is not known for turning a blind eye to unpaid luxury vacations or taxes.
