The West African country’s officials and leading icons are very keen for The Duke and Duchess of Sussex to visit after their ‘success’ in their neighbouring country Nigeria, say sources

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could be invited to Ghana after their ‘triumph’ on their high-profile trip to Nigeria, according to sources.

The West African country’s officials and leading icons are keen for The Duke and Duchess of Sussex to visit after their ‘success’ in their neighbouring country Nigeria, sources exclusively tell the Mirror. Insiders say the country’s leading bigwigs and artistic influencers are keen for the Sussexes to fly to Accra, the capital of Ghana that was so loved by Harry’s late Grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, and they will pull out all the stops to make them feel at home.

A source said: “There is already a lot of talk and excitement in Ghana, everyone is so keen for Harry and Meghan to come and experience the great culture and warmth. Several top names have already visited Ghana in recent years from Ed Sheeran, Naomi Campbell and One Direction’s Liam Payne. Idris Elba, who DJ’d at Harry and Meghan’s wedding is a regular too, he is part-Ghanaian and loves spending time ‘back home.’”

The source continued: “Harry certainly won’t be short of people to show him around and they will certainly roll out the red carpet for him, drafting in some of the finest Afro-beats performers to welcome him and his family. So perhaps it is only a matter of time before Harry and Meghan come out, and sample the famous jollof rice!”

The Mirror has contacted Prince Harry’s representatives for comment.

The invite follows the pair’s successful tour of Nigeria where they supported their “Giants of Africa” programming, including an announcement that they plan to expand their efforts by providing “an additional adaptive court and accessible sport for the community of Abuja.”

Meghan and Harry hosted a basketball clinic while they were there. “The Duke took to the courts to participate in an array of fun ball bouncing drills. The day was filled with sports, laughter, and meaningful conversation,” the site explained.

The duo gave fans a glimpse of what happened behind-the-scenes of their Nigeria visit. In a stunning moment, Meghan came over all emotional when she was presented a very special gift for Archie and Lilibet. She had earlier said how much she missed not being with them for Mother’s Day so it was even more poignant.

During their high-profile visit to the African continent, we can reveal the Duchess of Sussex was left speechless by a gesture from young Grace Busari, 13. Meghan was overwhelmed when she was presented a pair of stunning hand-stitched teddy bears from 13-year-old Grace, daughter of CNN Nigeria Bureau chief and Senior Editor invited to join Meghan and Harry on their visit.

The cuddly toys from Grace’s line @graceteddies, made from traditional African print material, almost reduced Meghan to tears as she grabbed Stephanie, Grace’s proud mum for a hug. Stephanie, who was part of the Women in Business conference Meghan attended, opened up about the groundbreaking trip. She said: “Wow! That was the weekend that was! Flying to Abuja to cover the Duke and Duchess of Sussex visit, I truly didn’t know what to expect. I was very pleasantly surprised. They are fun, caring, loved up, compassionate, total naturals with a crowd. To see Harry sitting on the floor to play volleyball with disabled servicemen was something and he showed such compassion too during his hospital visit to Kaduna.

“It was a private visit but looked like a royal tour in all but name! So happy that Harry and Meghan visited Nigeria to shine a spotlight on the injured servicemen and women, Invictus Games and mental health — and to dispel a few myths about Nigeria being a dangerous place! Also wonderful to see Meghan celebrated and welcomed as per Naija girl! Welcome Omowale Ada Mazi Adetokunbo Amira. (Just a few of the names she has received while here!)”

Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh has revealed the three fights he wants to make happen – including a bout between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.

As it stands, Fury is currently preparing for his undisputed world heavyweight title fight against Oleksandr Usyk next month, while ‘AJ’ has just beaten Francis Ngannou.

However, despite their previous or upcoming arrangements, fans have continued discussing a potential bout between the two – with Turki Alalshikh also offering his view.

During an ‘Ask Me Anything Q&A’ on Reddit, Alalshikh revealed the three bouts that he’d like to organise in the future – having played a big role in boxing’s current landscape.

Alalshikh claimed that Fury vs Joshua, Terence Crawford vs Canelo Alvarez and David Benavidez vs Artur Beterbiev are the three fights he’s keen to make happen.

Given Alalshikh’s power over the sport of boxing, it’s more than likely that some – if not all – of those bouts come to fruition later in the year.

The Saudi boxing chief has already orchestrated Fury’s upcoming bout with Usyk, as well as Joshua’s victory over former UFC champion Ngannou.

Last month, Alalshikh teased a ‘huge’ show at Wembley for later this year – with many suggesting it could be the bout between Joshua and Fury.

He said: ‘I’m talking, thinking and studying with Frank Warren and Eddie Hearn to do something huge in Wembley in the third quarter as a commercial for Riyadh Season.

Just one week before his comments, Eddie Hearn revealed that Joshua and Fury could sign a two-fight deal to finally face each other.

‘This is a gentleman called Turki Alalshikh, who is obviously a very influential figure in sports and entertainment in Saudi Arabia,’ Hearn said on The Sports Agents podcast.

‘He’s also the biggest fight fan I’ve ever met. And quite amazingly, he’s now talking about staging two Fury vs AJ fights – one in Saudi Arabia and one at Wembley Stadium.’

Joshua and Fury have both fought at Wembley before, experiencing some of their best nights in boxing at the iconic venue.

AJ beat Wladimir Klitschko in front of 90,000 fans at Wembley in 2017, rising from the canvas to stop the Ukrainian in the 11th round of a back-and-forth contest.

He returned the following year to knock out Russia’s Alexander Povetkin in the seventh round.

Fury was also victorious at the national team stadium as he beat fellow Brit Dillian Whyte in 2022.

The Gypsy King demonstrates his quick hands and sharp wit in an exciting build-up to his next major battle.

Tyson Fury, the WBC heavyweight world champion, is fully absorbed in his preparation for his forthcoming fight against Oleksandr Usykon on May 18 in Saudi Arabia, which includes both hard training and lighter moments. The ‘Gypsy King’ has been practicing in Morecambe with his instructor SugarHill Steward, his father John Fury, and brother Tommy Fury, demonstrating the importance of family and pleasure in his training program.

Fury, known for his dynamic and lively demeanor, recently posted a funny video from his training camp on Instagram. In the video, he interacts playfully with his nutritionist, Greg Marriott, as they explore the best protein sources for post-workout. The conversation took a humorous turn when Marriott replied “an egg,” then cracked it over Fury’s head, eliciting a round of laughs from the squad. Marriott didn’t stop there; he astonishingly swallowed the entire eggshell, adding to the amusement.

Fans of Fury were quick to comment on the incident, with reactions ranging from amused to bewildered. While one fan expressed disgust, others praised Fury’s humor, commenting on the raw and real nature of his social media posts. This lighthearted moment underscores Fury’s approach to maintaining a balanced atmosphere in the camp, amidst the rigorous demands of boxing training.

Tyson Fury balances grit and gags in lead-up to historic fight

Fury’s preparation isn’t just about gags and eggs; he has been diligently working on his boxing skills, showcasing his quick hands in pad sessions with his father, and flaunting a notably fit physique. This level of dedication is essential as he faces a significant challenge in Usyk, a formidable opponent with a rematch clause already in place, hinting at a potential second showdown regardless of the outcome.

The anticipation builds as Fury aims to etch his name in history books by becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999. His journey is a blend of grit and humor, proving that while he takes his training seriously, he never strays far from his prankster roots.

Saudi boxing boss Turki Alalshikh plans to stage three contests, including one between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.

Fury is now training for his undisputed world heavyweight title battle against Oleksandr Usyk next month, while ‘AJ’ just defeated Francis Ngannou.

Regardless of their previous or forthcoming plans, fans have continued to speculate about a possible fight between the two, with Turki Alalshikh also voicing his opinion.

During a ‘Ask Me Anything Q&A’ on Reddit, Alalshikh disclosed three bouts he’d like to organize in the future, having had a significant part in the present boxing landscape.

Alalshikh expressed interest in three fights: Fury vs Joshua, Crawford vs Canelo Alvarez, and Benavidez vs Artur Beterbiev.

Given Alalshikh’s influence in the boxing world, it’s highly possible that some, if not all, of those fights will take place later this year.

The Saudi boxing promoter has already planned Fury’s future fight with Usyk, as well as Joshua’s victory against former UFC champion Ngannou.

Last month, Alalshikh teased a ‘big’ Wembley spectacle for later this year, with many speculating it could be Joshua vs. Fury.

He stated that he is collaborating with Frank Warren and Eddie Hearn to create a significant advertisement for the Riyadh Season in Wembley Stadium during the third quarter.

Eddie Hearn recently announced that Joshua and Fury could sign a two-fight deal to eventually meet each other.

On the Sports Agents podcast, Hearn mentioned Turki Alalshikh, a prominent figure in Saudi Arabia’s sports and entertainment industry.

‘He’s also the biggest fight fan I’ve ever known. And, bizarrely, he’s now talking about arranging two Fury vs AJ matches, one in Saudi Arabia and one at Wembley Stadium.

MIKE TYSON says he is ready to fight ANYONE as he gets set for a sensational boxing return.

The 53-year-old has undergone a stunning body transformation and is back in training ahead of a ring return.

 

 

 

The most likely opponent appears to be Evander Holyfield in what would be a mouthwatering trilogy fight.

Holyfield is 2-0 up on Tyson including that infamous DQ victory when Iron Mike bit a chunk out of his ear.

The Real Deal, four years Tyson’s senior at 57, has also announced he will lace the gloves again.

Fellow US heavyweight Shannon Briggs and even Tyson Fury’s dad John are two others who fancy a crack at the man who terrorised heavyweight boxing through the 1980s and 90s.

Speaking about his stunning new look, Tyson told TMZ Sports: “I am just having fun looking good, showing off my new body, anything is possible.

“My ego is starting to get elated, but we will see. There are a lot of things to hope for in the future.”

He went on to explain that a charity fight against Holyfield seems likely, but that he would be prepared to fight anyone who wanted to challenge him.

HOLYFIELD PART III

He added: “Listen there are a lot of people out there who need help, and something like that could help a lot of people who need help.

“That’s just basically pretty much what I embark on, a life of charity and gratitude.

“I don’t know if Evander and me are going to get in the ring, arch-enemies, doing it for the humanity of people, less fortunate than ourselves.

“What would that be like? That is something that has not been done by any entertainer any sports figure in the history of sports and entertainment.

“Anybody who wants to contribute to this charity I want them to come in and challenge me.

KIM Kardashian’s admission about her ex-husband Kanye West may have put her children in a dangerous spot, according to the rapper’s new wife, Bianca Censori.

The Hulu star, 43, claimed that the famous hitmaker doesn’t exactly have any protection when it comes to his living space.

An insider shared with the Daily Mail that Bianca, 28, isn’t exactly happy with Kim’s claims, refuting them and adding that they actually do have security at their Los Angeles apartment.

According to the source, the head of architecture for Yeezy, was said to be upset by the “negative” portrayal of Kanye, and wants Kim to “step back and mind her own business.”

“Bianca thinks it was quite tacky of Kim to divulge this information on The Kardashians and, by doing so, she was actually putting her kids’ safety in jeopardy,” the source shared.

They added: “The public doesn’t need to know that their kids would be without protection at any time.

“She just wants Kim to stop talking about her husband Kanye in a negative light to try and make herself look better.”

The Skims owner’s comments came on the latest episode of The Kardashians, which saw her eldest child, North, expressing her desire to live with her famous dad during season four of the reality series.

“North will go to her Dad’s she’ll be like Dad’s is the best he has it all,” Kim said in the episode during a conversation with her sister Kourtney.

“He has it all figured out. He doesn’t have a nanny, he doesn’t have a chef, he doesn’t have security.”

She continued: “He lives in an apartment and she’ll start crying ‘Why don’t you have an apartment? I can’t believe we don’t have an apartment.’”

“They do that at Scott’s too. They’re like ‘Dad has the best house. Your house sucks. He has the best house. It’s not super big. The vibes better,’” Kourtney agreed, referring to her first baby daddy Scott Disick.

Kim and Kanye share four kids: North, daughter Chicago, five, and sons Saint, seven, and Psalm, four.

LIVING LARGE?

Kanye and Bianca, who officially tied the knot in December 2022, moved into a $20,000 per month West Hollywood penthouse that same month.

The couple made the move as renovations on Kanye’s $57M Malibu mansion kicked off- the construction has been a rollercoaster and the pricey home has been left to rot.

As far as the pair’s apartment, a source exclusively told The U.S. Sun in May: “… It’s a gorgeous apartment and the interior is very Ye, it’s a unique spot which is an architect’s dream.”

Kim and Kanye have not seen eye-to-eye when it comes to their children, and at times have found themselves at odds when it comes to parenting.

Last month, Kim was accused by fans forcing 10-year-old North into the spotlight when posed and interviewed for i-D Magazine.

The preteen’s interview was titled: “This is North’s world, we all just live in it.”

“It’s so weird. I’m so uncomfortable. Why won’t her parents shelter her and let her be a kid?” one person raged on a popular Kardashians thread.

Another stated at the time: “This is totally inappropriate… Not cool. Kim has completely turned into Kris [Jenner] by pimping her kids out to the media as early as possible.”

KIM Kardashian has shocked fans, revealing that she has a secret tattoo in an unexpected spot.

The Skims mogul has only ever joked about having tattoos, using filters to cover herself in body art.

During Thursday’s all-new episode of The Kardashians, the reality star was seen sitting in glam.

She chatting with stylist Chris Appleton about attending an Usher concert.

“We have to go to the Usher concert,” Kim suggested after she previously attempted to attend the show with her siblings and gal pals.

She then laid out a potential itinerary for the trip, saying: “After the concert, we get tattoos?”

Chris replied: “Oh my god. Perfect. Wait, will you get a tattoo though?”

She quickly shut it down, saying simply, “No,” to which her makeup artist asked: “Not even on your little toe?”

“I don’t do feet tattoos,” Kim responded adamantly before revealing: “You guys, something you don’t know about me,” as she pulled her lip down.

The star revealed an infinity symbol inked on the inside of her lip.

“When did you do that?” Chris asked.

Kim shared: “The night of SNL, when I hosted SNL, me and all my friends got matching tattoos and everyone got them on their hands and I was like, ‘There is not a shot I will get a tattoo.’

“But I finally put a bumper sticker on a Bentley.”

Footage rolled of the Hulu star getting the tattoo back in 2021.

ICONIC GIG

Kim hosted Saturday Night Live in October 2021.

She took the stage in a bright pink outfit to deliver her monologue, which was full of hilariously shady swipes at people close to her famous family and her ex Kanye West.

Kim kicked off the speech by saying: “I know, I’m surprised to se me here, too.”

Referring to her sex tape, rumored to have been leaked by her mom Kris Jenner, the Skims mogul added: “I mean, I haven’t had a movie premiere in a really long time.

“Actually I only had that one movie premiere and no one even told me it was premiering.

“It must have slipped my mom’s mind.”

Speaking about Kanye, 47, Kim joked: “I married the best rapper of all time.

“The richest black man in America, a talented legit genius who gave me four incredible kids.

“When I divorce him you have to know it came down to one thing: his personality.”

She went on to defend herself amid claims that she’s a “gold digger,” taking a jab at Kris’ boyfriend Corey Gamble.

“The one thing I’m really proud of is that no one could ever call me a gold digger,” said the mom-of-four.

“Honestly, I’m not sure how you even become one. So I asked my mom’s boyfriend, Corey.”

SNL SOUVENIR

A tattoo isn’t the only souvenir Kim left the SNL stage with.

During one of the sketches she appeared in, the fashion mogul made out with star Pete Davidson.

The pair were dressed as Disney characters Jasmin and Aladdin.

In the days after the show, the pair started spending more and more time together and fans took notice.

They went public with their relationship on Instagram in March 2022.

The following month, they attended the premiere of The Kardashians together in Los Angeles.

Kim and Pete broke up in August of that same year after the former Keeping Up With the Kardashians star’s ex-husband Kanye West publicly attacked the New York comic.

KIM Kardashian has thrown major shade at her ex-husband Kanye West as she lists her future partner’s ideal traits.

The Kardashians star and the rapper finalized their divorce nearly a year ago in November 2022.

Now Kim, 44, has come clean about the necessary traits of her future partner.

In a scene featured on the newest episode of the Hulu show, the reality star opened up about her desires to her friends while taking a flight on her private jet.

She told her hair stylist Chris Appleton and his partner: “I have a manifest list so it has good qualities so I can manifest good f**king guys.”

Kim’s team replied: “Okay let’s see your manifest list,” to which she responded: “Okay,” whipping out her phone to read out the qualities she looks for.

Later, in a confessional the mother of four explained: “I do think the list is ever-growing and evolving and I won’t stop until he fits every single one of those.”

Back on the plane, the Skims founder recited from her list, claiming she wants someone who both “calms” her and “drives her wild.”

“No airing out our dirty laundry, a person who accepts you and pushes you to your highest potential.”

Kim’s mention of “airing dirty laundry” was a potential jab at her ex-husband Kanye West, 46, who toward the end of their relationship brought all of their private problems to the public eye.

KANYE VS. KIM

In February of 2022, the socialite blasted her rapper ex after he accused her of putting their daughter North, eight, on TikTok “against his will.”

He posted a screenshot of North from one of her TikTok videos and tagged Kim in the shot.

The Yeezy founder asked his followers on Instagram in all caps on Kim and North’s joint TikTok account : “SINCE THIS IS MY FIRST DIVORCE, I NEED TO KNOW: WHAT I SHOULD DO ABOUT MY DAUGHTER BEING PUT ON TIKTOK AGAINST MY WILL ?”

Kim, who filed for divorce against the rapper in February 2021, called Kanye’s “constant attacks” on her “hurtful” in an Instagram Story.

She wrote, in part: “Kanye’s constant attacks on me in interviews and on social media is actually more hurtful than any TikTok North might create. Kanye’s obsession with trying to control and manipulate our situation so negatively and publicly is only causing further pain for all.”

Kim and Kanye welcomed daughter North, now eight, in 2013 – with kids Chicago, four, Saint, six, and Psalm, two, following soon after.

In 2020, the Donda singer announced that he was running for president through his own party – the Birthday Party, after earlier befriending Donald Trump.

Later that month, Kanye held a political rally in North Charleston, SC, and broke down in tears as he claimed at the controversial event that Kim considered aborting their eldest child North.

“Even if my wife were to divorce me after this speech, she brought North into the world, even when I didn’t want to. She stood up, and she protected that child,” he cried.

He yelled to the crowd: “She had the pills in her hand.”

A day later, Ye posted a string of now-deleted tweets per PEOPLE claiming that Kim and Kris Jenner were sending a doctor to his Wyoming compound, where he had been staying, and were trying to “lock me up.”

Kim publicly addressed Kanye’s 2020 speech soon after: “As many of you know, Kanye has bi-polar disorder,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories.

“Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand.”

Kanye later issued an apology, tweeting: “I would like to apologize to my wife Kim for going public with something that was a private matter.

“I did not cover her like she has covered me. To Kim I want to say I know I hurt you. Please forgive me. Thank you for always being there for me.”

END OF THE ROAD

In February 2021, after much speculation, Kim filed for divorce following nearly seven years of marriage and a year of tumultuous ups and downs – including the failed presidential campaign.

The KUWTK alum moved on with Pete Davidson after the divorce, first kissing on live TV when she made her hosting debut on SNL in October 2021, which enraged Kanye.

But the couple parted ways last summer, and the TV star has been single ever since.

Meanwhile, Kanye secretly married architect Bianca Censori in January 2023.

KANYE West’s rented headquarters in West Hollywood has become an eyesore for neighbors after being targeted by vandals who spray-painted graffiti on the building.

The 46-year-old rapper has been traveling for months and has popped up everywhere from Italy to Saudi Arabia, as he’s ditched his fashion comeback for music.

He’s well-known for switching gears and recently abandoned his idea of running for president again in the 2024 election.

And now it appears he’s also mostly abandoned his HQ project after taking on a 7,400-square-foot showroom in Los Angeles, just doors away from an Adidas store on Melrose Avenue.

Homeless tents have been set up outside the space, which remains under construction inside, and vandals have now sprayed tags on the grey property in black paint.

A source close to Kanye told The U.S. Sun that the space was initially used for secret fashion events, the odd Sunday Service performance, and private movie nights.

It was said to be more of a “multi-purpose venue” than a store, as he worked with American Apparel founder Dov Charney to try and relaunch his Yeezy brand.

Construction workers were previously seen sanding down the floors and cutting up wood.

But there has been little action at the site for weeks, as Kanye remains in Al Ula in Saudi Arabia, finishing up his next album in collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign.

The U.S. Sun has learned he is still renting the space and some Yeezy employees do use it, but it has mostly been empty for weeks and the inside is still full of unfinished wooden structures and debris.

Kanye’s lawyer did not return a request for comment regarding the future of the building.

The star has been desperate to bounce back after he saw his billion-dollar business empire crumble following his anti-Semitic remarks.

CRUMBLING EMPIRE

Following his controversies and support for the White Lives Matter movement, Adidas revealed it was terminating its business dealings with the star last year.

In a statement, the footwear organization said: “Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech.

“Ye’s recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful, and dangerous, and they violate the company’s values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect, and fairness.

“After a thorough review, the company has taken the decision to terminate the partnership with Ye immediately, end production of Yeezy branded products, and stop all payments to Ye and his companies.

“Adidas will stop the Adidas Yeezy business with immediate effect.”

He was also dropped by the likes of Balenciaga and GAP and claimed he lost “$2 billion in a day.”

This month, it was reported Adidas is considering writing off the remaining $320 million worth of Yeezy shoes left unsold for the third release since cutting ties with the star.

The organization sold millions in the earlier releases with part of the profits being donated to groups fighting antisemitism.

The New York Times also spoke to numerous people involved in Kanye’s business dealings with Adidas for a recent expose, entitled Kanye and Adidas: Money, Misconduct and the Price of Appeasement.

The outlet claimed he drew a swastika on a shoe in frustration during one meeting – years before his anti-Semitic public rants.

He also allegedly advised a Jewish Adidas manager to kiss a picture of Hitler every day.

A representative for Kanye did not respond to The Times or The U.S. Sun’s requests for comment.

ALBUM DELAY

In a statement to The Times, Adidas said it “has no tolerance for hate speech and offensive behavior, which is why the company terminated the Adidas Yeezy partnership.”

Meanwhile, Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign were meant to host a multi-stadium listening event earlier this month, but it never materialized.

Ye’s collaborator told fans at a recent performance that they are still planning to release new music, saying: “I just landed on a flight from Saudi Arabia.

“I’ve been out there recording a part of my album with my brother Ye, and that’s coming real soon.”

Billboard reported last month that the pair were trying to find potential distributors to pick up the album, although it’s unknown how much support they’ll get after Kanye’s controversies.

The star has been uncharacteristically quiet on social media while working on his new record and has not officially confirmed the title or release date.

Some fans have heard snippets of the songs from leaks online or at private listening events and fashion parties he’s attended.

Although some claim he’s in the best head space he’s been in for years, his wife Bianca Censori has returned to her native Australia amid rumors their marriage is on the rocks.

Her friends and family allegedly staged an intervention after becoming concerned about Kanye’s controlling behavior, according to the Daily Mail.

The Yeezy architect has since been seen spending time with her parents and siblings in Melbourne, while her husband remains in Saudi Arabia.

Bianca was pictured in Melbourne surrounded by friends smiling for the first time in a while.

Other pictures showed that the architect’s family accompanied her.

Her mom, Alexandra Censori, was dressed in a white big jacket with black trousers and snake-print shoes.

She held a big black Prada purse as she walked down the street.

Bianca took the trip quietly and seems to have gained a new lease of life after being pictured smiling surrounded by her friends.

They appeared at a bar, with the architect baring all in a blue bikini top, showing off her curves.

The pair married in December of 2022, just one month after his divorce from ex Kim Kardashian, 42, was finalized.

CONTROLING?

There had been rising concern about the rapper being controlling in their marriage, which was confirmed by a few sources who shared the supposedly strict rules Bianca was following.

Millie Bobby Brown secretly MARRIES Jon Bon Jovi’s model son

An insider previously told Daily Mail that Kanye was manipulating his wife into a radicalized version of his ex, whom the rapper shares four children with.

The source said that Bianca, who has worked for the musician since 2020, now has no mind of her own anymore and just obeys.

“Kanye has a set of rules for Bianca, which includes never speak and wear what he wants her to wear,” the source revealed.

They claimed: “She is also required to eat certain food items and to work out even though Kanye doesn’t work out.

“She has no mind of her own anymore and obeys him because he has convinced her that they are royal.”

It was also revealed that Kanye had a secret design team in Italy, which created the nearly nude outfits the Australian designer was seen wearing in public all summer.

INTERVENTION TIME

According to the Daily Mail, her trip was due to her friend’s attempt to reach out to the star about her relationship.

After Bianca’s two longtime friends previously told her they believed Kanye was morphing her into a version of his ex-wife, the designer accused them of being “jealous.”

However, apparently, the star is seeing things differently and from “an outside perspective.”

They revealed: “Everyone is just glad that they finally were able to get through to Bianca.

“Her friends let her know exactly how they feel and they told her that she needs to wake the f**k up.”

The insider continued: “She knows that she has shut out those close to her and she is also starting to see through the smoky mirrors of her marriage.

“She is aware of Kanye’s controlling ways and she is starting to see things from an outside perspective.”
