Who is Mikaela Lafuente? Bryce Hall's model girlfriend accuses Kanye of sending inappropriate messages while married to Bianca Censori

Rapper Kanye West was recently accused of sliding into 22-year-old model Mikaela Lafuente’s Instagram DMs. The Argentinian-born model is currently dating TikTok content creator and YouTuber Bryce Hall.

Mikaela revealed she and Bryce were in Vegas in March and were going through her DMs when they stumbled upon 47-year-old Ye’s message. She alleged the Yeezy founder asked her to hang out with him and listen to his new collaborative album, Vultures.

While Bryce Hall posted screenshots of the alleged conversation on X, they were later deleted. Kanye, who is almost twice the model's age, messaged her while being married to Bianca Censori, and Mikaela reportedly called his advances "inappropriate."

Mikaela, who is currently based in Los Angeles, said she and Bryce, 24, began a committed relationship in late 2023. She is a brand ambassador for the bathing suit company Boutine LA.

Mikaela Lafuente has been an Instagram content creator and influencer since February 2021 and has gained over 1.2 million followers to date. She shares photos and videos from her modeling gigs on the platform. The model turned 22 on June 13, 2024.

Mikaela Lafuente says she never met Kanye West in person

Mikaela Lafuente said she initially did not believe it was Kanye West who messaged her and thought it was a fake account but later realized it wasn’t. The model added:

"The message was pretty odd as I had never spoken to him or seen him in person before."

Mikaela shared the screenshot of the exchange, where Ye asked her if she was back in California.

Mikaela Lafuente criticized Ye’s move, saying that she didn't think it was "acceptable" for him to be messaging other women when he was married.

"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," the model said.

She added that in her family, everyone was with their partners forever, noting that it was what she wanted for her relationship. She also said that monogamy is "what is accepted" and called cheating unacceptable.

Mikaela Lafuente said it was not okay for Kanye to have messaged her with such intentions. She noted that even though she turned down the rapper’s offer, others might not if he messages them. The young model voiced her strong distaste with the matter. She referred to Kanye and his wife, Bianca, saying:

"Maybe they have an agreement and Bianca knows about it and is cool with it, but we will never know this."

Mikaela alleged that after she declined Ye’s offer to hang out, he liked her last message and deleted all his texts. The 22-year-old said she is barely familiar with Kanye West’s name because of Kim Kardashian and his fashion brand Yeezy, but she never listened to his music. Mikaela added:

"I like my music in Spanish. I barely knew who he was and it was confusing."

The model asserted:

"I have a boyfriend I love dearly and love very much and he [Ye] has a wife."

Mikaela Lafuente said she found it odd that Ye messaged her and claimed her boyfriend was not bothered by it but rather found it funny. She explained that Bryce does not get jealous that much. However, Mikaela called Bryce “protective”, saying he gets mad if someone disrespects her.

The authenticity of Mikaela's claims is yet to be proven. Kanye West, on the other hand, has not addressed the accusation as of now.
