Model, 22, accuses Kanye West, 47, of sending her ‘inappropriate’ Instagram DMs asking her to ‘hang out and listen to his new album’ – while married to wife Bianca Censori
A model has hit out at ‘inappropriate’ Kanye West after claiming the rapper asked her in DMs to ‘hang out’ despite being married to his wife, Bianca Censori.
Mikaela Lafuente, 22, accuses 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 in a relationship with 24-year-old TikTok star Bryce Hall, criticized the singer-songwriter for being “inappropriate” and pointed out that at 47, he is more than twice her age.
Mikaela from Los Angeles admitted she found the interaction “weird” because they had never spoken in real life before. 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)
“I didn’t believe it at first and thought it was a fake account, but it wasn’t,” she continued.
“The message was quite strange because I had never spoken to him or seen him in person,” she explained.
Screenshots of the exchange, taken from Mikaela’s Instagram, show the message thread she says took place between her and the singer-songwriter in March.
In the screenshot, Kayne’s first message to the 22-year-old can be seen simply reading: “Back in Cali.”
He then asks her if she wants to “hang out” and listen to his new album, but the model declines.
The content creator says it was “inappropriate” for him to message her because he has a wife and is “twice her age.”
“I don’t think it’s acceptable to message other women when you’re married. It’s not acceptable and it’s something I would always stand behind,” she said firmly.
Mikaela added that she finds cheating in a relationship “unacceptable.” Kanye has been married to his wife, 29-year-old Bianca Censori, since December 2022.

“I don’t think it’s acceptable to message other women when you’re married. It’s not acceptable and it’s something I would stand behind forever,” she said firmly
“I grew up with my entire family being with their partners forever and that’s what I want for my relationship,” she shared. “Monogamy is what’s accepted and cheating is unacceptable.”
She continued to insist that it was “not okay” for him to send her messages with dubious intentions.
“If he texts other girls, I know I said no, but others might not,” she noted.
“I don’t support it,” Mikaela stated. “Maybe [him and his wife] have an appointment and Bianca knows about it and is fine with it, but we will never know.’
Mikaela claims that after Kayne rejected her offer, he deleted all of his Instagram messages to her.
Her boyfriend shared the messages on X, formerly known as Twitter, writing: “Kanye sliding all over my girlfriend…someone tell Kim.”
“Come on, at least invite me to the hang-and-listen session,” he joked in a second message.
Mikaela says she “barely” listens to Kanye West’s music and only knows him “from Yeezy and Kim Kardashian, but not from his music.”
“I like my music in Spanish. I barely knew who he was and it was confusing,” she claimed.
“I have a boyfriend who I love very much and I love him very much and he [Kayne] has a wife.
“After that he liked my post and deleted all his posts,” she said.
The rapper, 47, and Bianca, 29, have been married since December 2022, just under a month after his divorce from Kim Kardashian became final.

Mikaela regularly posts photos of herself modeling in underwear and swimwear for her 1.2 million followers on social media.
Although she found it bizarre that the rapper messaged her, Mikaela said that Bryce didn’t mind that another man DMed her and that he thought it was funny.
“He just thought it was funny and laughed it off,” she shared. “He doesn’t get jealous easily and he loves situations where people are staring at me.”
The model added that her boyfriend would “only get mad” if someone was disrespectful to me in any way, describing him as “protective.”
Mikaela said that she and Bryce started dating seriously late last year, in 2023, and that they are very happy together.
“Bryce makes me so happy and laugh so much. We have so much fun together and the same sense of humor,” she raved about her content creator partner.
Kanye married his current wife Bianca Censori in December 2022, a month after his divorce from Kim Kardashian.
Bianca’s loved ones have repeatedly expressed their concerns after she married Kanye in December 2022, with some going so far as to intervene, while her father Leo was reportedly keen to confront the rapper about his daughter’s X-rated clothing.
In March of this year, Bianca’s mother flew from Australia to the US in an attempt to ‘rescue’ the Yeezy designer, according to sources, who claim she is taking the time ‘to see for herself’ whether her daughter really has things under control.
She previously caused a stir with her racy outfits, such as a barely-there tape look when she went 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 the release just five days after its launch on the platform due to copyright issues.
