American model Mikaela Lafuente, 22, alleged that Kanye messaged her on Instagram earlier this year, asking her to ‘hang out’ and listen to his new album.
The model, who is currently dating 24-year-old TikTok star Bryce Hall, criticized the singer-songwriter for his actions, calling them ‘inappropriate’ and pointing out that, at 47 years old, he’s more than twice her age.
Mikaela admitted she found the interaction ‘odd’ since they had never spoken in person before.
“It was funny. Bryce and I were in Vegas, and I was going through my Instagram DMs when I saw this message from Kanye,” she recalled. “At first, I didn’t believe it and thought it was a fake account, but it wasn’t. The message was pretty strange because I had never spoken to him or met him in person,” she explained.
Screenshots from Mikaela’s Instagram show the message exchange. In the screenshot, Kanye’s initial message to the 22-year-old reads: ‘Back in Cali.’
The conversation then continues with Kanye asking if she wanted to ‘hang out’ and listen to his new album, but Mikaela declined.
Mikaela has since criticized Kanye, saying it was inappropriate for him to message her, especially considering he is married and ‘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 firmly stated.
