Rapper Kanye West is facing accusations of inappropriate behavior after allegedly flirting with a young model despite being married to architect Bianca Censori. The 22-year-old model, Mikaela Lafuente, claims that Kanye reached out to her via Instagram in March, asking her to hang out and listen to his new album, despite his marital status.
Inappropriate Texts from Kanye West
Lafuente revealed the text messages she received from Kanye West’s verified Instagram account, which included the message, “Do you want to hang out and listen to my new album?” Lafuente was initially skeptical about the message, thinking it might be a fake account. However, she confirmed that the message was legitimate, causing her to feel uncomfortable, especially as she had never communicated with West before.
At the time of the incident, Lafuente was in Las Vegas with her boyfriend, 24-year-old TikTok star Bryce Hall. “It’s funny,” Lafuente said, recalling her reaction. “I was with Bryce when I saw this message from Kanye. At first, I didn’t believe it and thought it was a fake account, but it wasn’t.”
Model Speaks Out About Marriage and Fidelity
Lafuente expressed that Kanye’s behavior was inappropriate due to his marriage and their significant age difference. “I don’t think it’s acceptable for a man to text another woman when he’s married,” she said. “I grew up in a family that values fidelity, and cheating is unacceptable.” She also added that while she did not know the specifics of West’s relationship with Censori, she couldn’t support such behavior. “Maybe he and his wife have an agreement and Bianca is okay with it, but we will never know.”
Mikaela Lafuente, who has 1.2 million followers on Instagram, turned down Kanye’s invitation and made it clear that she is not a fan of the rapper. She explained that her only knowledge of Kanye was through his Yeezy fashion brand and his high-profile ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.
Bryce Hall Reacts Publicly
Lafuente’s boyfriend, Bryce Hall, also responded to the incident. After learning of Kanye’s message, Hall posted a tweet accusing the rapper of flirting with his girlfriend. Hall’s tweet quickly garnered attention, drawing more eyes to the situation. Despite the allegations, Kanye West has yet to comment on the accusations.
Kanye West’s Marital History
This incident comes shortly after Kanye West married Bianca Censori, an architect who had worked with him at his fashion and design company, Yeezy. The couple tied the knot in December 2022, though their marriage has been kept relatively private. Prior to his marriage to Censori, West was married to reality TV star Kim Kardashian for seven years, before they divorced in November 2022.
The Bigger Picture of Kanye’s Public Image
Kanye West’s behavior, particularly in his personal relationships, has often drawn controversy. From his very public divorce with Kim Kardashian to his tumultuous actions and statements, the rapper’s actions have frequently made headlines. The incident with Lafuente adds to the growing concerns over his behavior and the scrutiny surrounding his relationships.
As the situation unfolds, many are left questioning Kanye’s respect for marriage and fidelity, and whether his actions are a reflection of deeper issues. While the model and her boyfriend have expressed their discomfort with Kanye’s advances, it remains unclear how his wife, Bianca Censori, feels about these recent allegations.
Kanye West has not yet issued a statement regarding the accusations, but as the public waits for his response, this latest controversy only adds to the ongoing discussions about his behavior and relationships.
