Bianca Censori directs Kanye West's 'King' video, exploring power and public opinion

Bianca Censori (Melbourne, 1995) directed the music video for 'King', a new single by Kanye West, released on his Instagram on June 20. The video features a vintage convertible crossing an arid landscape with West and three passengers in white, followed by a police car. The journey ends with West sitting on an electric chair wearing a crown instead of a helmet. Censori's direction emphasizes gesture and performance over conventional narrative, using simple composition to explore themes of power and public opinion. This follows her directorial debut with 'Father' (March 2026), a single-shot sequence set in a surreal church featuring Travis Scott, a knight, a spaceship, astronauts, and a young Michael Jackson. She also directed 'Gemini Season', starring a cow, herself, and West in a mountain landscape. Both videos are part of 'Bully', West's twelfth album, which also includes 'Gemini Season' and 'Father'.
