Kanye West’s world is shaking once again. This time, a shocking revelation about a $250,000 payment he allegedly made to take down a sex tape is making waves.
The rapper, 47, is at the center of controversy after former Hollywood fixer Kevin Blatt’s explosive Instagram post. Blatt claims that West paid a hefty sum to prevent a tape, allegedly made with a prostitute while West was “high on drugs” back in 2012, from going public.
Blatt didn’t hold back, posting a screenshot of the alleged tape, which shows a shirtless West on a bed. His caption read: “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] you had on MDMA.”
Kevin Blatt, infamous for his role in Paris Hilton’s 2001 sex tape scandal, has seen it all. He calls himself the “Scandal Specialist,” and isn’t afraid to share shocking details from his career. He has even claimed to have seen celebrities in compromising situations, some of which still haunt him due to signed NDAs.
West’s past involvement with sex tapes
In 2012, the same year he started dating Kim Kardashian, rumors swirled about two of West’s sex tapes being “shopped” to the highest bidder. TMZ reported the scandal, but nothing ever surfaced—until now.
Fast forward to today, and West’s personal life is once again under scrutiny. His alleged divorce from Bianca Censori, his wife of only a year, has shocked many. The couple’s split came just days after Censori’s jaw-dropping naked stunt at the Grammy Awards.
A shocking divorce after a short marriage
West and Censori reportedly agreed that she would receive a $5 million payout following their divorce. Sources close to the rapper confirm the split, saying a legal filing is imminent. As for Censori, she’s staying in the couple’s $35 million Beverly Park mansion in Los Angeles, but no one knows where West is. Some speculate he may return to Tokyo, where he spent much of last year.
Censori’s controversial Grammy look
Censori made headlines at the Grammy Awards, attending completely naked under a sheer dress. Her bold move garnered both admiration and criticism. Some of West’s followers accused him of using his wife’s body for clout, even calling him “abusive” and “controlling.”
West, however, defended the controversial outfit. He took to social media, claiming it was his idea of “art.” He even compared it to the cover of his album Vultures 2. In the days following, he gushed over Censori’s bravery and beauty, stating how proud he was of her.
Kanye’s controversial rants and public acklash
The rapper’s behavior hasn’t gone unnoticed. He’s faced fierce backlash for his anti-Semitic remarks, including an infamous rant on Twitter. West even wore a $20 t-shirt emblazoned with a Nazi swastika, which Shopify quickly removed. His ban from Twitter followed, but he made a return just days ago.
His words have sparked outrage in Hollywood, with stars like Isla Fisher and David Schwimmer condemning his actions. West later claimed that he had been misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder and argued that he is actually autistic.
West’s personal life and legal battles
West’s messy personal life continues to unfold. He is no stranger to controversy, having previously been married to Kim Kardashian. Their divorce, finalized in 2021, was a long time coming. They share four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
Since his split from Kardashian, West has married Censori in a private ceremony in 2022. The couple’s whirlwind romance shocked fans, but their bond seemed strong. West even released a song in her honor, Censori Overload, signaling his deep affection for her.
More drama: Alleged lawsuit and public stunts
West’s legal troubles have only intensified. A lawsuit filed by former assistant Lauren Pisciotta accuses him of sexual harassment and stalking. The case is currently making headlines, and some believe West’s recent public stunts are distractions from the mounting legal issues.
Sources claim West is concerned about the growing pressure and the negative publicity surrounding the lawsuit. With his attention also on the ongoing legal battles involving Sean “Diddy” Combs, who faces his own allegations, West may be looking for ways to deflect attention.
Concerns over Censori’s well-being
Fans have expressed concern over Censori’s well-being throughout her marriage to West. The Australian architect, once seen as a promising talent, has often been photographed in various states of undress. From the Grammys red carpet to public outings, Censori’s behavior has raised eyebrows.
During the Grammy incident, Censori dropped her fur coat on West’s command and revealed her bare chest to the photographers. While some defended her bold move, others felt it was a sign of West’s controlling behavior. According to lip readers, West directed her actions during the stunt, telling her to “make a scene” and “drop it behind you.”
Despite the shocking public displays, insiders claim West and Censori’s relationship began to deteriorate months ago. West’s intense demands and Censori’s growing discomfort with the public eye seem to have taken a toll. The couple’s short marriage has been marred by tension and scandal, and it appears the end is near.
What seemed like a fairy tale romance quickly spiraled into chaos. From the intimate private ceremony to public outbursts and legal drama, West and Censori’s marriage appears to be unraveling before our eyes. Will the $250,000 sex tape revelation be the final straw?
