 During her career, Moore told Wendy Williams that she dated multiple, high-profile men. However, her fling with one famous rapper is something Moore didn’t reveal until December 2020. 

‘RHOA’ star Kenya Moore described her date with Kanye West as a ‘disaster’ 

Moore appeared on The Wendy Williams Show for a virtual interview with host Wendy Williams. After answering several questions about the new season of RHOA, Williams put Moore in the hot seat. Williams asked Moore about her past love life, and Moore mentioned that she once went out with Kanye West. At the time, West and Moore were both single and agreed to go out. However, Moore told Williams the date turned out to be a “disaster.” The date caused Moore to realize West wasn’t the one for her. 

“Somehow, we ended up going to his house, and there were some very explicit things on TV,” Moore said. “I was lost. He left me alone wandering around his house, and then when I followed the noises, he was watching something on TV that he probably shouldn’t have been.”

Once she realized the date was going south, Moore said she decided to leave. 

“So that was my exit,” she recalled. “As much as I love him, that was just the craziest thing.”

‘RHOA’ star Kenya Moore briefly discussed her date with Kanye West in 2013

Although she provided Williams with more details, Moore’s appearance on The Wendy Williams Show isn’t the first time she discussed West. Moore chatted about West with Access Hollywood in 2013, per Bravo. According to Moore, she and West had a flirtatious encounter before his marriage to Kim Kardashian West. However, Moore claimed the flirting didn’t go any further because she was dating someone else at the time. 

“He was really sweet when I met him. He seemed very humble. I thought he was a great guy,” Moore said. “It was just friendly, ‘Hey, I want you to hear some music.’ It was all above board. I’m very happy that he’s found love and that he and Kim are having a good relationship.”
