America's Next Top Model host Tyra Banks has her "smize" on 28-year-old rapper Dave East.

The runway queen and new mommy was instantly smitten by the tattooed Harlemite's photos on Instagram. One glimpse of his smile and bone structure and Tyra wasted no time trying to poach him. "So @DaveEast why you out here making music but not modeling?," Tyra commented on a photo.

Dave, who made a cameo this year on VH1's The Breaks, is certainly considering the offer. He reposted Tyra's incredible compliment with a very convinced emoji.

We can't believe Dave's model potential went under our radar, but then again, Tyra has an eagle eye for talent. Through ANTM contestants like Eva Marcille, Fatima Siad, Leila Goldkuhl and Winnie Harlow (to name a few) have spread their wings in campaigns for the likes of Givenchy, Ralph Lauren and Marc Jacobs. So what do we think: does Dave East have America's Next Top Model potential? Swipe and vote on his best Instagram photos.

Watch Dave East make his first scripted TV debut in The Breaks.
