Kanye West Allegedly Paid $250,000 To Get His 'Embarrassing Sex Tape' Taken Off The Market

Kanye West reportedly paid $250,000 to prevent the release of a lewd video of himself hooking up with an escort while high on MDMA.

This information was revealed by a sex tape broker who took to Instagram to call out the controversial rapper for his recent antisemitic remarks.

Kanye West was in the news for all the wrong reasons when he took to his X account to unleash a tirade of misogynistic and antisemitic comments, which led to his talent agency dropping him.

West has been accused of paying $250,000 to prevent an "embarrassing" sex tape of his from coming out.

The allegations were leveled against him by notorious former sex tape broker Kevin Blatt, who took to his Instagram stories to suggest West was high on the party drug MDMA while making out with a sex worker in the video.

Posting a shirtless picture of the "Donda" rapper in what seemed to be a hotel room, Blatt wrote: "Remember that sex tape I helped take off the market for you in 2012 with that hooker in Vegas?"

"Yeah, this JEW didn't forget what a horrible performance and small [eggplant emoji] u had on MDMA," he continued. "Hey, why don't you GO F-ck Your favorite person in the world YOURSELF."

According to the U.S. Sun, Blatt, notorious for facilitating the release of Paris Hilton's sex tape "One Night In Paris," explained that the video had been tossed around somewhere around December 2012. However, he stepped in to help West prevent it from going public.

West started dating Kim Kardashian earlier that year before she announced that she was expecting his baby in December, around the time the video hit the market.

The exact time the video was recorded remains unknown as there was no timestamp on it. However, Blatt believes it happened about a year before West started dating Kardashian, and their marriage wouldn't have happened should it have gone public.

"The tape was being shopped around in late 2012, and that was when I got involved," Blatt told the U.S. Sun. "Kanye had the video saved on his laptop, and I found out later his cousin had stolen the laptop, and that is what he raps about on 'No More Parties In LA.'"

He continued, "At the time, I did not know that. The tape was being shopped around. Kanye did not want the tape getting out there, and I helped make sure it didn't, like I have helped many celebrities do. That's how Hollywood works, and I made a decent living out of sex tapes for a while."

"Kanye didn't want it getting out because he was with Kim Kardashian at the time. I don't think she would have married him if she'd seen it because it was with an escort, and there were drugs involved – it wasn't the best look," Blatt added.

In his interview with the U.S. Sun, Blatt explained that he's only making this public now because of West's recent tirade of antisemitic comments, saying he wanted the "Carnival" rapper to remember how Jewish people have come through for him before.

He claimed that if he'd not helped West prevent it from going out, "people would have laughed at him" because the "Vultures 1" rapper "is out of it, and it's embarrassing as hell."

"Let's just say that any loverboy image he thought he might have had would have been completely destroyed," he continued. "I'm not trying to make money out of this now, that's not what this is about."

Blatt added, "The only reason I am talking about it now is because I want Kanye to realize that his actions have consequences – I don't want him to forget how many Jewish people - like me - have helped him over the course of his career."

"He is surrounded by Jewish people every day, and they have helped him reach the top of his game – and then he's going to say these disgusting things?" he wondered.

West took to his X account to unleash a number of scathing criticism against the Jewish community while seemingly promoting Nazism.

In one tweet, he wrote, "I AM A NAZI," and later topped it up with "I LOVE HITLER NOW WHAT B-TCHES."

"I CAN SAY JEW AS MUCH AS I WANT I CAN SAY HITLER AS MUCH AS I WANT MATTER FACT I DO SAY IT WHEN I WANT," the rapper said in another tweet.

In another, he said, "JEWS ARE ARROGANT AND THINK THEY CAN SPEAK TO ANYONE THEY WANT ANY KIND OF WAY THATS WHY EVERY JEWISH WIFE IS A B-TCH."

Following his run of antisemitic comments, West faced massive backlash from netizens and also got dropped by his talent agency, 33&West.

"Effective immediately, I am no longer representing Ye (F/K/A Kanye West) due to his recent harmful and hateful remarks that myself nor 33 & West can stand for," Daniel McCartney wrote on his Instagram Stories.

West also lost his Yeezy website on Shopify after he put up a Swastika merch for sale. The shirt, designed with a round neck and a Swastika symbol on the chest, was sold for $20.

After taking down the site, the platform released a statement on Tuesday to explain their decision.

"All merchants are responsible for following the rules of our platform," the company remarked.

They added. "This merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms, so we removed them from Shopify."
