9:01 AM PT -- New pics show Chaney was there on a dinner date with Ye, confirming they're still going strong. Reps for Ye tell us Shannade was not there with them -- just a coincidence they were all in the same place. As we always say, Hollywood, and especially Malibu, are one-horse towns.
Kanye West is circulating again ... Thursday night chowing down with Shannade Clermont, but we're pretty sure this dinner wasn't about romance.
Ye and Shannade -- one of the twins from "Bad Girls Club" -- hit up Nobu in Malibu. The 2 have history -- aside from being good pals, Shannade and her twin sis, Shannon, modeled for Yeezy season 6 drop in 2018. Shannade and Shannon hang out with a bunch of rappers ... Ye among them, so this isn't confirmed romantic.
As for the romance dept., Kanye seems to be on track with GF Chaney Jones, whom he recently took to a fancy Utah resort. He's showered her with gifts and even taken her to meet his family.
As for Shannade and Shannon ... aside from modeling for Kanye's brand, they've been called Kim Kardashian clones ... and not without some evidence.
The twins have branched out recently with their own fashion line ... saying their inspiration was another set of twins -- Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.
