Lingerie model Selita Ebanks is not dating rapper Kanye West - they're just good friends, according to a close pal of the beauty.

The Stronger hitmaker sparked rumours of a romance with Victoria's Secret model Ebanks when they were spotted leaving New York club Tenjune together on Saturday.

Ebanks also made an appearance at an afterparty following the rapper's performance at Madison Square Gardens in the Big Apple last month.

But a source close to Ebanks insists their relationship is purely platonic.

The insider tells People.com, "They are just friends.

"They were with a large group that included Serena Williams and Selita's dad."

West split from his fiancee Alexis Phifer in April this year. Ebanks broke off her engagement to rapper/actor Nick Cannon last year. Cannon is now married to R+B superstar Mariah Carey.
