Leyla Ghobadi Backtracks On Kanye West Cheating Allegations

Model Backtracks On Kanye West Cheating Claims

Canadian model Leyla Ghobadi is now backtracking on cheating allegations she made against Kanye West, saying her fling with the "Yeezus" rapper happened before he began seeing Kim Kardashian.

The pin-up made headlines last week when she told Star magazine she and West started hooking up last July, just months after he began dating Kardashian. She claimed he told her his relationship with Kardashian was "for publicity and nothing serious."

Now, Ghobadi is backtracking, saying she and West did hook up, but it happened before Kardashian was even in the picture back in November 2011.

"I was introduced to him at the Montreal concert," she told The Sun. "We met backstage as I knew members of his band. We ended up having sex at the Thompson Hotel. He then flew some friends and I out to Toronto for his two concerts in the next two days. We had sex again there. This was all before Kim Kardashian and he never spoke about her. But what I do know is that Kanye is a Romeo — he can never be trusted."

“He will never be faithful to one girl and has women falling at his feet all the time," she added.

Kimye's camp has denied the cheating allegations from the get-go. In a statement to "Entertainment Tonight," West called Ghobadi's attack completely fabricated and referred to her as a "misguided individual who is clearly seeking publicity."

The 36-year-old Chicago native might be an international hip-hop superstar, but he has said he is someone who enjoys being in a steady relationship. In his candid interview with The New York Times, West called Kardashian an "amazing person" who he is in love with and who inspires him.

"Any woman that you’re in love with or that loves you is going to command a certain amount of, you know, energy. It’s actually easier to focus, in some ways," he said. Adding, "[T]hat’s what I mean when I say like, 'Yo, I’m going to be super Zenned out like, five years from now.' I’m the type of rock star that likes to have a girlfriend, you know? I’m the type of soul that likes to be in love and likes to be able to focus. And that inspires me."
