Kanye West ‘paid $250k to have sex tape of himself in bed with escort while high on MDMA taken off the market’
KANYE West has been mocked over an "embarrassing" sex tape allegedly showing him hooking up with an escort while high on drugs.
Notorious former sex tape broker Kevin Blatt has claimed the rapper paid around $250,000 to ensure a video of an alleged night he had with a sex worker in Las Vegas while taking party drug MDMA was taken off the market.
Hollywood fixer Kevin, who made his name in the world of celebrity sex tapes by facilitating the release of Paris Hilton's sex tape One Night In Paris, made the allegation in a post on his Instagram Stories in which he tagged Kanye directly.
He 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.
"Hey, why don't you GO F*** Your favorite person in the world YOURSELF."

The post was accompanied by a picture that appeared to be from the alleged tape showing a shirtless Kanye in what looks like a hotel room.
A rep for Kanye declined to comment on the claims.
Kevin told The U.S. Sun the video was being shopped around in December 2012 and he stepped in to help Kanye and ensure it was never publicly released.
It later emerged that it had originated from an old laptop of Kanye’s which had been stolen by a family member – in an incident Kanye rapped on his two tracks Real Friends and No More Parties in LA.

The lyrics for Real Friends are: “I had a cousin that stole my laptop that I was f***kin' b*****s on/ Paid that n***a 250 thousand just to get it from him/ Real friends…Huh?"
While on No More Parties in LA, he said: "And as far as real friends, tell all my cousins I love 'em/ Even the one that stole the laptop, you dirty motherf****r."
Kanye had been dating Kim Kardashian since April of that year, and she announced she was pregnant with his child in December – around the same time the tape was being shopped around.
It is not known when the tape was made - as there is no date stamp on it - but Kevin believes it was around a year or so before he began dating Kim, and the liaison took place at a hotel in Las Vegas.
Kevin, who has helped dozens of celebrities suppress their sex tapes, said he decided to speak out about the tape after Kanye’s vile antisemitic X rampage – and said he wanted the rapper to remember how many Jewish people had helped him during his career.
STOLEN LAPTOP
“The tape was being shopped around in late 2012 and that was when I got involved," Kevin told The U.S. Sun in an exclusive interview.
“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.
“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."
'EMBARRASSING AS HELL'
“I watched the tape - if it had got out people would have laughed at him. He is out of it and it's embarrassing as hell," Kevin added.
“Let’s just say that any loverboy image he thought he might have had would have been completely destroyed.
"I'm not trying to make money out of this now, that's not what this is about.
“I watched the tape - if it had got out people would have laughed at him. He is out of it and it's embarrassing as hell.
Kevin Blatt
“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?
"Antisemitism hasn't been this high since the Holocaust and Jews are going to fight back because we cannot let that ever happen again. This cannot be tolerated by anybody.
“Kanye wants everyone to think he’s a genius but the fact is he’s clearly unhinged. And he needs to be stopped, so I’m willing to speak up."
VILE TIRADE
It comes after the Yeezy founder went on a disturbing three-day antisemitic rant on X over the weekend, in which he claimed "I'M A NAZI" and "I LOVE HITLER."
The shameless rapper wrote: "Hilter was soooooo fresh," before posting "I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT THE F*** ANTI SEMETIC MEANS."
“He [Kanye] 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?
Kevin Blatt
In a series of vile posts, he wrote how he had "dominion" over his wife Bianca Censori and boasted about their Grammy red carpet stunt in which she appeared in a completely sheer dress which displayed her naked body in full.
He went on to make a series of offensive misogynistic posts, claiming rape victims were lying, before declaring he was "God".
"Fat b*****s are sex offenders I see them and I’m sexually offended," he wrote in one Tweet.
In another post on Sunday, he wrote: "LEGALIZE PROSTITUTION".
He also called for President Donald Trump to free Sean "Diddy" Combs, who is currently in jail on sex trafficking charges.
He previously made antisemitic comments in 2022, which he later apologized for.
The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed the disgraced rapper visited a Jewish congregation weeks after that rant - but the leader said he "didn't want" his "publicity stunt."
BACKLASH
The tweets were widely condemned and Kanye's X account was deactivated on Monday.
Elon Musk wrote: “Given what he has posted, his account is now classified as NSFW.
"You should not be seeing that anymore."
Kanye had earlier thanked the Tesla boss for allowing him to "vent" on his platform.
He added: "It has been very cathartic to use the world as a sounding board."
'SOURCE OF OWN DEMISE'
Ye later posted a video in which he promised he was of sound mind when he made the horrific posts and did not need an "intervention".
The rapper has previously spoken about how he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder after he was hospitalized for a psychiatric emergency in 2016.
Earlier this month he claimed he had been misdiagnosed with bipolar and actually has autism - although one ex-employee has claimed he's the "source of his own demise".
