Kanye West Snatches TMZ Photog’s Phone Over Question About Bianca

Kanye West was NOT in a chatty mood to kick off the week — especially when one of our photogs asked him about Bianca Censori … which ended with a confiscation and a lecture.

Our camera person was one of several people trailing Ye Monday as he made his way over to Hollywood Blvd. for Charlie Wilson‘s Walk of Fame ceremony — and she asked him about several reports claiming he’s “controlling” his wife and/or banning her from social media.

We’ll admit … it’s not the most subtle opening question, and perhaps unartfully phrased … as we asked if Bianca had “free will.” That immediately set Kanye off, he snatched her phone and started verbally dressing her down.

What follows is a good 3-plus minutes of Ye berating our photog and grilling her about her question — which he seems to have thought was totally off-limits and wildly disrespectful.

Poor wording aside … Bianca’s perceived freedom in her marriage has been a much-reported topic, so it’s a fair question.

Still, it’s clearly one that triggers Kanye, and as you can hear from this tirade, he thinks it’s disrespectful to raise the issue “to come ask a grown-ass super-hero!!!”

Yep, it was that kinda lecture … and there’s no doubt Ye went over the top to make his point here.

He does end by offering our photog a job at twice the pay! Far as we know, she has not accepted. 😅
