A model has slammed Kanye West for being “inappropriate” after claiming the rapper sent her DMs asking to “hang out” despite being married to his wife, Bianca Censori.
Mikaela Lafuente, 22, accused Kanye of sending her an Instagram message earlier this year asking her to “hang out” and listen to his new album.
The model and influencer, who is dating TikTok star Bryce Hall, 24, slammed the singer-songwriter for being “inappropriate” and pointed out that at 47, he is more than twice her age.
Mikaela, who lives in Los Angeles, admitted she found the interaction, which took place in March this year, particularly “strange” given 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 checking my Instagram DMs and I saw this (Kayne West’s message),” she recalled.
Mikaela Lafuente, 22, accused rapper Kanye West of sending her an Instagram message earlier this year asking her to “hang out” and listen to his new album.
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,” he continued.
“The message was quite strange because I had never spoken to him or seen him in person before,” she explained.
Screenshots of the exchange taken from Mikaela’s Instagram show the chain of messages, which she says took place in March between her and the singer-songwriter, who at the time had just returned to California from a trip to Europe with his wife Bianca.
In the screenshot, Kayne’s initial message to the 22-year-old simply reads, “Back in Cali.”
The messages then go on to ask her if she wanted to ‘hang out’ and listen to his new album, but the model declined.
Now, the content creator has attacked the rapper, saying it was “inappropriate” for him to message her, especially considering he has a wife and is “twice his age.”
“I don’t think it’s acceptable to text other women when you’re married. It’s not acceptable and it’s something I will always stand by,” she said firmly.
Mikaela added that she believes cheating in a relationship is “unacceptable” as Kanye has been married to his wife, Bianca, 29, since December 2022.

“I don’t think it’s acceptable to text other women when you’re married. It’s not acceptable and it’s something I will always stand by,” she said firmly.
“I grew up with my entire family being in their lifelong relationships and that’s what I want for my relationship,” she shared. “Monogamy is what is accepted and cheating is unacceptable.”
She went on to claim that it was “not okay” for him to send her messages with questionable intentions.
“If he messages other girls, I know I said no, but others might not,” she said.
“I don’t support it,” Mikaela said. “Maybe they (he and his wife) have an agreement and Bianca knows about it and doesn’t have any problems, but we’ll never know.”
Mikaela claimed that after rejecting Kayne, he deleted all the messages she had sent him on Instagram.
Her boyfriend shared the messages on X, formerly known as Twitter, writing: ‘Kanye is coming on to my girlfriend…someone tell Kim.’
“Come on… at least invite me to the session to hang out and listen,” 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 Spanish music. I barely knew who he was and it was confusing,” she said.
“I have a boyfriend who I love very much and he (Kayne) has a wife.
“He then liked my message and deleted all his messages,” she said.
The rapper, 47, and Bianca, 29, have been married since December 2022, just under a month after his divorce from Kim Kardashian was finalized.
Mikaela’s boyfriend shared screenshots of the messages on Instagram, but the model says her boyfriend wasn’t bothered by it.
Mikaela claimed that after rejecting Kayne, he deleted all of his Instagram messages directed at her.
Mikaela regularly posts photos of herself modeling in underwear and swimwear for her 1.2 million social media followers.
While she found it odd that the rapper would message her, Mikaela said Bryce wasn’t bothered by another man DMing her and says she found it funny.
“He thought it was funny and laughed about it,” she shared. “He doesn’t get jealous often and he likes situations where people stare at me.”
The model added that her boyfriend “only got mad” if someone disrespected her in any way and described him as “protective.”
Mikaela said she and Bryce started dating seriously late last year, 2023, and said they are very happy together.
“Bryce makes me so happy and makes me laugh a lot. We have a great time together and we have the same sense of humor,” she gushed about her fellow content creator.
Kanye married his current wife Bianca Censori in December 2022, a 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 to stage 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 United States with the intention of “saving” the Yeezy designer, according to confidential sources, who claim that she is taking time “to see for herself” if her daughter really has everything under control.
She has previously sparked concern with her daring outfits, which included a barely-there tape look while out to dinner with Kanye in Paris.
Kayne West’s Vultures 1 album was set to be released on March 12, but was pulled by Apple Music just five days after its debut on the platform after being hit with copyright infringement issues.
