Before the news and images circulated on social media and it was made known that they had been banned, the boat firm Venezia Turismo Motoscafi was unaware of what had happened on their property.

The company spokesman, according to TMZ, emphasized that the boat driver didn’t see “these obscenities” because he was too preoccupied operating the boat; if he had, he would have promptly denounced the rapper and Bianca to the authorities.

The pair made headlines several times while on vacation in Italy before the butt-crack incident. The rapper has maintained his reputation in the tabloids with various actions, such as going barefoot in the streets of Venice, wearing see-through clothing, and interrupting an unrelated wedding.

The couple’s attention-grabbing antics are allegedly a part of a publicity hoax to support West’s new album, according to the report’s insiders.
