Popular model Chanel Iman, 18, chats it up with singer/producer Ryan Leslie, 29, at DaSilvano on Wednesday in Manhattan. The duo (who are rumored to be dating) also hit up the Vibe Anniversary party together earlier this week. Peep that photo after the cut. She look a little like Cassie in some of these shots…hmmmm…

He looks corny as hell. Older men deal wih little girls because they can’t deal with a grown women. 18 yrs old = don’t know much
Is it me am I the only one that thinks this dude is weird, why is he dating girls so much younger than him that look a like…
he is such a pervert to me and he annoys me
age ain’t nothin’ but a number, huh?
yea right!
he’s way too old for her, in my lil ol’ opinion but $hit, if they like it, I love it!
happy thursday!
I don’t see where she is all that attractive. she has on tons of makeup and is boney as hell! I have seen girls in the mall who are more appealing than her. and he is dead wrong for dating a girl who just got out of highschool. she is too young for him period, but older men like younger women so they can control them I guess
stop comaring her to cassie. she’s prettier and a professional super model, cassie’s a wannabe singer and a sean jean model. get it right. also, i think there’s a good chance this is all business. its’ not unlike models to be hired to escort dates to stuff and that really looks like a business luncheon vs. a date to me.
this is a set up. PR!!!
To #54. All the information that was given I knew and I am older. I knew about him two years ago when my son, who is striving to produce, brought him to my attention. Anyone in the music game knew and knows a bit about him. To the average person, he is new.
Cassie shits on this chick in the looks department. Seriously.
A brown girl ain’t got a chance in this town!
LOL.. firstly, couldnt he find a model his own age. Jesus, they always catch them young cos they are more willing to be with a half loser like Ryan. He seems so nerdy, and like.. has no male essence about him. He’s probably a closet gay!
Her black outfit is nice! I mean, sure it’s a bit loud and she’s obviously trying way hard but at least she seems to just be a huge fan of designer pieces so it isn’t as bad as a poser like Solange or somebody who’d really like us to believe she’s doing something more than a dress + hot shoe.
This girl is soooooo pretty!
These men are child molestors or borderline. Diddy, Russell Simmons, Rob Lowe, Woody Allen, R. Kelly, etc. They just get away with it, especially in the music industry, because the girls keep their ages a secret or lie about it, along with their parents. Just like the Japanese gymnastics team. If you will date an 18y.o then you will consider a 17y.o. and so on. Just like on that show Baldwin Hills, how old are those girls especially the one pregnant by that grown man. All this means is that we are being set up to accept underage sex into society as the norm by challenging boundaries.
I hope this is publicity I would be very disappointed if R. Leslie has a habit of dating barely legal young women. Dating Cassie was one thing but if he is dating this model chick then it is a pattern it appears he seeks out and preys on young women *cough cough R.Kelly*.
Age is not just a number when you are still a TEEN and the person you are dating is almost 30! Damn he couldn’t wait until she at least cleared her teens? People kill me age is a number but get seem to get very irate seeing Kim K. date what some consider to be a good black man and oh my when Usher married Tameka she is an old hag…. some can’t see the forest thru the trees…
I just hope they are hanging out and not dating it’s gross…
*claps* thank you #73!
@73,the dude who talks to staci on baldwin hills does look old as hell..
she does look like cassie…and 12 years is a big gap especially since she just turned 18!
and the comment about “having a conversation with an 18 year old is a task” is just plain stupid.
Assumptions . . .
Speculations . . .
The media can sell water to a well, I swear.
What’s the saying don’t believe anything you hear, only half of what you see, a 1/3 of what you smell and whatever, I was trying to go somewhere with it, but then I lost it . . .
You get my point – - the illusion of the imagination is ASSUMPTION
Chanel is cute, but Cassie has her beat in the looks department, she doesn’t look really into him and he looks a bit goofy to me, there age difference is large, but if she was 20 and he was 30 so it wouldn’t be that bad, he could be bordeline a pedophile because Cassie isnt that old now, she probably is maybe 20!!!
she looks EXTREMELY bored with him at lunch! LOL
Ryan Leslie really needs to stop with the pedophilia…he keeps getting older, and the chicks keep getting younger…SMH
He’s a pedophile.
I think yall need to stop talking about Chanel like that. As far as career and beauty goes, Chanel is lightyears ahead of Cassie. Chick only had one hit song and couldnt sell a damn album.
Chanel has been on the cover of Vogue, walked on the runways for high end, top of the gotdamn line fashion designers. Dont believe me, wait ’til NYC Fashion week hit.
The only campaign ad Cassie shot was punk ass Jcpenny’s. B*tch please, model my ass. Then had the nerve to become a singer. B*tch double please. And she f*cking around with Mr. Bitchassness himself, B*tch please to the highest power.
People act like this dating someone younger is new. I bet half your grandparents and great-grandparents are years apart. Back in the day, 30 year old men had 18 year old wives or even younger and stayed married forever.
If they are dating then so be it. Now, I have a problem when an older man (or woman) ONLY dates way younger or vice versa but if it just happens, why put off somebody that could be the love of your life just because they are younger or older? I have friends who are 8+ years apart and they have been happy for years. Who am I to hate on their business?

lmao at the chanel vs. cassie comments. i think they’re both really pretty (personally i prefer cassie’s look b/c chanel is too skinny to me BUT if chanel gains weight she would look gorgeous and healthy i bet). chanel has more success of course b/c she is one of the biggest names in modeling right now while cassie was never a REAL model (catalogue vs. catwalk/editorial is like mcdonald’s vs. some high-end french restaurant).
ryan is ugly to me
I sorry but this chick and Cassie LOOK NOTHING ALIKE…. Cassie is way more beautiful…. THis girl is cute… but damn 18…. !!!!
Please… chick does not look like no Cassie. Stop trynna stir da pot. Uh Oight? Okai?
Umm..so I guess those are like her favorite boots. She clearly wore them on Tyra’s show with a blue dress. They’re cute though. Once you get to a certain financial status age doesnt really paly a big role as long as your over 18. She’s makin’ paper so in most mens eyes that makes her a woman. lol. O well, get it girl.
Chanel and Cassie do look similar, I thought it was Cassie until I looked at her properly. At least Chanel is an international world class model, Cassie has no career.
Cassie could have been a successful model if she wasn’t so keen on TRYING to sing
LOL @ him tryna get with another model! Chanel is actually a real fashion model though. Cassie was a model but she was only a print model. She only did ads for Macys, JCPennys, Traget, Abercrombie and Fitch, nothing special. She was always too commercial for fashion magazines, that’s why she never made it like Chanel. Chanel is pretty, skinny, but pretty. I think it’s disgusting that a 40 year old many is tryna holla at such a young and barely legal girl! EW, he doing the same thing he did with Cassie since Cassie decided that she’ll stick to f*cking Diddy for tracks instead. I’m 18 myself, just turned 18 in April and I wouldn’t even imagine dating someone 25 and older. 21-23 is okay but older than that seems weird.
11 years though???
cassie is way hotter and has more weight, and that’s bad because cassie is petite.
dont too much like the boots i thought it was cassie when i first saw the pic she’s a pretty girl, and only 18 do ur thang!!!
whoa she does not look interested in him at all….look at their body language…he’s all leaned into her and she’s all wondering…wow lol he probably begged her for a date and she was like okay whatever
poor ryan…he needs a lady. Plus i think he may be a bit too mature for her…she’s like what…18? and idk how ld he is but i know he’s significantly older than her…but hey you never know i guess…maybe they do click but just not in this pic
HE REMIND ME OF THEM OLD PLAYAS THAT BE IN THE CLUB TRYIN TO PICK UP THE YOUNG GIRLS
Thank you 73 & 74! I applaud you for your comments.
wow LOL hE IS THE FIRST male cougaR LMAO
GONE HEAD head then hell naw!!!???
So what if she is skinny!!!!! she is still very young, Kimora was just as skinny and she filled out nicely as she got older, same thing with Tyra. Get over this ignorant mentality that the black community has, that every woman has to be thick. She is a SUPERMODEL and she is caking right now, this chick is getting some SERIOUS paper and she is only 18. Also, if she wants to date him SO WHAT!!! Some of ya’ll really need to get a life 4 real!
What can u possibly find to talk about with an 18 yr old girl? And who eats lunch with their sunglasses. Profiling & Styling, no romance here
He looks so gay with that pop collar and creases. You know some DL men do go after the model type and real pretty girls to appear like they are playas when they really want to be their girlfriend.
she has a boyfriend from highschool
HE LOOKS LIKE LUIGI………………………………………………………………….
Ryan Leslie always came across to me as a pedafile………
I mean Cassie was like 17 when they were dating….and Chanel is like barely 18….
I have never heard of either one of them. btw…they’re both unattractive in these pics.
She’s mad young for him. They both need to watch it!
This chick is a flyy ass 18 year old. Ryan Leslie blah! Cassie blah too. Idk boring!!!
Her legs looks skinny in that last pic. And the pics look posed, but they look cute
ya’ll need to find out where she got that head band wrap thingy.
haha pretty please.
Ryan needs a haircut…and he is not 29….i know that for a fact!!….
RYAN LESLIE IS MYNNNNNNNNNNNNNE…
NEXT SELECTIOON..:D
I think that Chanel Iman is a great role model for young Black girls who wnats to be a model she is an inspiration. Cassie is not even doing anything right now. She was just a one hit wonder. Sorry to say….
I think that Chanel Iman is a great role model for young Black girls who wnats to be a model she is an inspiration. I like Cassie but her music is sort of not really what people wants to here. Sorry to say.
I dont think chanel looks like cassie..chanel is better looking than cassie so if he is dating chanel i think thats kinda sick cause shes soo young but at least hes upgrading.
