Kanye West, 45, sparks romance rumours as he steps out with model, 24, after Twitter ban

Kanye West tried to put his recent social media backlash behind him as he stepped out with a 24-year-old model this week.

The controversial rapper, 45, was spotted linking arms with Brazilian beauty Juliana Nalu in Los Angeles.

And it seems Juliana may be Kanye’s latest muse as she wore a matching ‘2024’ hat – the year he hopes to run for US president.

The potential new couple were pictured catching a movie in Hollywood together on Saturday night.

They have also been spotted eating out at a fancy Italian restaurant and checking into a hotel together in recent days.

And it seems she is one of the models selected for Kanye’s latest fashion brand campaign as they were seen visiting a clothing warehouse, too.

Juliana accessorised her ‘2024’ outfit with a figure hugging grey dress with cut out details on the side.

She added a pair of chunky black boots, which matched Kanye’s and could have been from his own range.

Kanye stuck to his usual black attire, but was bizarrely pictured wearing an Adidas zip up hoodie – despite slating the brand for ‘copying’ his designs.

He also wore a ‘2024’ hat with a long black T-shirt and black sweatpants with text running down one of the legs.

The nature of Kanye and Juliana’s relationship is unclear at this stage, but they have definitely been hanging out a lot in the past few days.

Model Juliana – who is signed to several global agencies – also posted photos to her Instagram page, which has 540,000 followers, wearing Kanye’s ‘2024’ hat – although he is not in the pictures.

In another snap she appeared to channel Kanye’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian by wearing a black bodysuit.

She also donned the same silver wraparound sunglasses from Kanye’s label that Kim has been spotted in more than once.

Uploading a series of shots, Juliana captioned the post: “ZY SHDZ.”

The sightings of the pair come days after Kanye caused outrage with a string of posts on social media which were deemed ‘anti-Semitic’.

After being suspended from Instagram, the rapper switched to Twitter to post for the first time in two years.

But it wasn’t long before he was doing the same thing and some of his posts were again removed for “violating the Twitter rules”.

Condemning his 'abhorrent' actions, actress Jamie Lee Curtis said: “I woke up and I burst out into tears. Death Con 3 on Jewish people? What are you doing?“

The daughter of renowned Jewish actor Tony Curtis said her first thoughts were of her grandparents, who were Hungarian Jewish immigrants. She added she hoped Ye and his children 'would get help' following the backlash.

Other A-listers to condemn Kanye’s most recent outburst include comedian Sarah Silverman and Frozen star Josh Gad.

Sarah tweeted: “Kanye threatened the Jews yesterday on twitter and it’s not even trending. Why do mostly only Jews speak up against Jewish hate? The silence is so loud.”

Josh also reacted to Kanye’s tweet, saying: “It’s incredible how many people can just casually break down the barriers between what should be a very obvious “this is not okay” comment to “Death-con 3 against Jews’ is so not anti-Semitic.”
