Kanye West and A$AP Rocky Style Collaborator Ian Connor Under Investigation for Sexual Assault

Ian Connor is a stylist, model, and Instagram celebrity who is part of Kanye West’s inner circle as well as A$AP Mob. He’s been described by Vogue as Kanye’s “fashion muse,” modeled in Kanye’s Yeezy Season shows (pictured above), and even found himself in the middle of the Kanye vs. Wiz Khalifa beef. He is also under investigation for sexual assault, Broadly reports. Last week, a woman named Malika Anderson wrote a blog post describing an alleged rape by Connor on October 5, 2014. Broadly has obtained an incident report from the Dekalb County Police Department in Georgia filed on December 16, 2015, showing an officer took down allegations matching Anderson’s for October 5, 2014. Broadly cites a precinct source as saying the incident is still under investigation. Update (4/14, 9:50 a.m.): A police spokesperson has confirmed to Pitchfork that the incident report is legitimate, adding, “The case is still officially an open investigation.”

Following Anderson’s post, Jean Deaux, a Chicago singer who has worked with Isaiah Rashad, Donnie Trumpet, and Mick Jenkins, published her own. Titled “For Malika,” it accused Connor of raping her in a 2013 incident.

Connor was reportedly unwilling to comment when Broadly reached him by phone. But he has written a series of Tweets responding to the allegations:
