Who is Tracy Romulus, and why is Kanye blaming her for the Kim K divorce drama?
According to the latest Hollywood gossip, Ye is causing a stir again with his latest muse, Chaney Jones, who is 20 years his junior. So who is the 24-year-old that has captured Kayne’s attention?
1. C’mon, she’s a Kim K double
What stunned the public the most is probably Jones’ strong resemblance to the West’s billionaire wife.
Jones’s style is also an immediate reminder of her famous lookalike, displaying a similar fashion sense, make-up style and penchant for bikini photos.

With all the attention she has garnered from her recent link to Kayne West, her sphere of influence is primed to explode.
3. She is serious about her education
Jones attended Caesar Rodney High School in Delaware before studying elementary education at the University of Delaware. Upon graduation, Jones embarked on a master’s degree in counselling at Wilmington University.
