Canadian Model Claims Kanye West Cheated on Pregnant Kim Kardashian

A 24-year-old Canadian model has claimed that rapper Kanye West cheated on partner Kim Kardashian even after she became pregnant.

In an interview to Star magazine, Leyla Ghobadi, revealed that she had physically intimate relations with the rapper ever since they met in 2012 at one of his shows. She also said that West told her that his affair with Kim was only "for publicity and nothing serious."

"This is going to destroy the Kardashian family. It's bad. It's really bad. It's just embarrassing. But if I were Kim and about to have a baby, I would want to know," Ghobadi told the entertainment magazine.

According to the model, all this began in July 2012 when she and West first met during his Atlantic City concert. She said the rapper called her to his hotel room but she declined the invitation. Ghobadi also claimed that West offered her and her friends backstage passes for the next evening's concert.

She further said that she was aware of his relationship with Kim. West invited her for cocktails at a nightclub before asking her again to come to his hotel room. This time she accepted the invitation and both slept together, Ghobadi said.

The model said they again met in October last year in New York.

West obviously denied the allegations. "This most recent attack on Kanye West and his family is totally without merit. It's a blatant attempt by a misguided individual who is clearly seeking publicity, and another in a series of malicious stories drummed up by non-credible 'news' sources. This is a sad attempt to hurt two people trying to live their lives," his rep said in a statement.

Kim is expecting her first child with West and is due next month.
