LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Love Island USA' Season 6 runner-up Leah Kateb has recently sparked speculation of being in a relationship with rapper Kanye West. While Leah had previously disclosed being in a relationship with a rapper, she had not revealed his identity. Additionally, Leah revealed in her now-deleted TikTok video that her ex-boyfriend cheated on her with Bhad Bhabie.

However, during a recent episode of 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, host Alec Cooper asked, "Will you kill me if I ask this?" before throwing the bombshell question. Alex asked Leah if the rumors about her dating Kanye West were true. Leah responded with a laugh and a glance at the camera, saying, "Should we just end the Podcast here before the world burns?"

Leah skipped answering the question, leaving room for even more speculation about a potential past relationship with Kanye West. With Leah's family home located in Calabasas, the same neighborhood where Kanye resides, the possibility of a romance seems even more plausible.

Meanwhile, many viewers are convinced that Leah and Kanye may have been involved in a relationship in the past. On Reddit, one user wrote, "It honestly makes complete sense if she dated Kanye though. They're in the same circles, live in the same area, and she's clearly Kanye's type." Another added, "Also the football player she's talking about who's a singer now is allegedly Antonio Brown and he's besties with Kanye 👀🍵."

One user noted, "Kanye ?? I remember somebody on this sub saying Leah has dated rappers before going on LI, but I would've never thought Kanye (then again she is his type so 9)." Another user wrote, "I'm literally convinced considering her background, connections and locality that Leah has dated Kanye."

Another user suggested, "On one of her TikTok's she mentioned her ex cheating on her with Bhad Bhabie. If you search you can find theories on who the rapper likely is. I took her not answering the question and hesitating on if it was Kanye or not as her not wanting the convo to be turned to which rapper she actually dated if she were to say no."
