Kanye West landed in hot water with fans after screenshots emerged of Ye messaging Bryce Hall’s girlfriend Mikaela Lafuente while married to Bianca Censori

Kanye West has avoided talking about his ongoing ‘cheating’ scandal with wife Bianca Censori – appearing to change the subject.

The controversial Bound 2 rapper was exposed for messaging influencer Bryce Hall’s girlfriend Mikaela Lafuente while wedlock to Bianca. The couple tied the knot back in December 2022, just one month after he finalised his divorce from Kim Kardashian.

Now his marriage has been thrown up in the air after DMs showing him asking Mikaela if she wanted to hang out in California were leaked by Bryce on X, formally Twitter. But ignoring the ordeal altogether, Kanye had something else to say on his own social media.

Taking to Instagram after the messages were shared, Ye didn’t address the elephant in the room. Instead, he shared a rant about streaming sites such as Spotify not paying artists enough money, including social media apps like TikTok and music agents.

“If we want quality music somebody is gonna have to pay for it,” the post read – with no reference to the Bianca scandal. “Streaming services don’t pay properly, labels want a bigger cut than ever and just sit and wait for you to go viral, TikTok doesn’t pay properly, and touring is getting prohibitively expensive for most artists.”

As Bryce shared Ye’s DMs, he wrote, “Kanye is sliding on my girlfriend.. someone tell Kim,” referring to Kanye’s ex-wife Kim. In the picture Kanye could be seen telling Mikaela: “Back in Cali”. Bryce then shared a follow-up post with more messages.

When Mikaela asked Kanye what he meant by his initial message, he said: “Are you in California or the states.” She replied: “Yes why?” Kanye then explained: “Wanted to see if you wanted to hang and listen to the new album.”

Alongside the screenshot, Bryce wrote: “Cmon ye… at least invite me to the hang and listen session.” He then seemed to challenge Kanye to a fight, writing: “My bareknuckle opponent for the LA show is kanye btw… we’re just hyping the fight a bit, stay tuned.”

The allegations against Kanye come despite the fact he is happily married to Bianca. The couple tied the knot back in December 2022, just one month after he finalised his divorce from Kim. Bryce and Mikaela went public with their romance in November of that year.

Kanye has also faced an intense backlash over claims he is “controlling” Bianca. It’s believed the Flashing Lights hitmaker has a set of rules Bianca has to follow including specific foods she can eat and to “never speak”.
