Model accuses Kanye West of sliding into her DMs to ‘hang around’
A model has hit out at ‘inappropriate’ Kanye West after claiming the rapper slid into her DMs asking her to ‘hang out’ – despite being married to his wife, Bianca Censori.
Mikaela Lafuente, 22, accused Kanye of messaging her on Instagram earlier this year asking her to ‘hang out’ and listen to his new album.
The model and influencer, who is dating 24-year-old TikTok star Bryce Hall, slammed the singer-songwriter for being ‘inappropriate’ and pointing out that, at 47 years old, he’s over twice her age.
Los Angeles-based Mikaela admitted she found the interaction – which took place in March of this year – particularly ‘odd’ given that they had never spoken in person before, and says she initially thought it was a fake account.
‘It was funny. Bryce and I were in Vegas and I was going through my Instagram DMs and I saw this [Kayne West’s message],’ she recalled.

The model says Kanye, 47, who is more than twice her age, sent the messages in March – despite being married to Bianca Censori (seen together in California in March)
‘At first, I didn’t believe it and thought it was a fake account, but it wasn’t,’ she continued.
‘The message was pretty odd as I had never spoken to him or seen him in person before,’ she explained.

In the screengrab, Kayne’s initial message to the 22-year-old simply reads: ‘Back in Cali.’
He is then seen to proceed to ask if she wanted to ‘hang out’ and listen to his new album, but the model declined.
The content creator says it was ‘inappropriate’ for him to message her as he has a wife and is ‘twice her age’.
‘I don’t think it’s acceptable to be messaging other women when you’re married. It’s not acceptable and it’s something I’d stand behind forever,’ she said firmly.
Mikaela added she thinks cheating in a relationship is ‘unacceptable’, with Kanye being married his wife, 29-year-old Bianca Censori, since December 2022.

‘I don’t think it’s acceptable to be messaging other women when you’re married. It’s not acceptable and it’s something I’d stand behind forever,’ she said firmly
‘I’ve grown up with all my family being with their partners forever and this is what I want for my relationship,’ she shared. ‘Monogamy is what is accepted and cheating is unacceptable.’
She continued stating that it’s ‘not okay’ that he messaged her with questionable intentions.
‘If he texts other girls, I know I said no, but others might not,’ she pointed out.
‘I do not support it,’ Mikaela declared. ‘Maybe they [him and his wife] have an agreement and Bianca knows about it and is cool with it, but we will never know this.’
Mikaela claimed after she turned down Kayne, he deleted all of his Instagram messages to her.
Her boyfriend shared the messages to X, previously known as Twitter, writing: ‘Kanye is sliding on my girlfriend.. someone tell Kim.’
‘Cmon ye… at least invite me to the hang and listen session,’ he joked in a second post.
Mikaela said she ‘barely’ listens to Kanye West’s music, and is only familiar with him ‘because of Yeezy and Kim Kardashian but not his music.’
‘I like my music in Spanish. I barely knew who he was and it was confusing,’ she claimed.
“I have a boyfriend I love dearly and love very much and he [Kayne] has a wife.
‘He then liked my message and deleted all of his messages,’ she said.
The rapper, 47, and the Bianca, 29,have been married since December 2022, just under a month after his divorce from Kim Kardashian was finalized

Mikaela regularly posts photos of her modelling in underwear and swimwear to her 1.2 million followers on social media.
While she found it bizarre that the rapper messaged her, Mikaela said Bryce wasn’t bothered about another man sliding into DMs and says he found it funny.
‘He just found it funny and was laughing about it,’ she shared. ‘He doesn’t get jealous a lot and likes situations where people stare at me.’
The model added her boyfriend would ‘only get mad’ if someone was disrespectful to me in any kind of way, describing him as ‘protective.’
Mikaela said she and Bryce started dating seriously in late last year 2023 and she said they’re very happy together.
‘Bryce makes me very happy and makes me laugh so much. We have such a good time together and have the same sense of humor,’ she gushed of her content creator partner.
Kanye married to his current wife Bianca Censori in December 2022, one month after his divorce from Kim Kardashian.
Bianca’s loved ones have frequently expressed their fears after she married Kanye in December 2022 – with some going as far as staging an intervention, while her father Leo was reportedly keen to confront the rapper over his daughter’s X-rated clothing.
In March this year, Bianca’s mother flew from Australia to the US with the intention of ‘saving’ the Yeezy designer, according to insiders, who claim she is taking time ‘to see for herself’ whether her daughter truly does have everything under control.
She has previously sparked concern with her racy outfits, which included a barely-there taped look while heading out for dinner with Kanye in Paris.
Kayne West’s album Vultures 1 was set to be released on March 12, but Apple Music pulled it just five days after its debut on the platform after being hit by copyright infringement issues.
