Ye's alleged $250K sex tape resurfaces amid divorce rumors
What's the story
Amid rumors of his troubled relationship with wife Bianca Censori and recent antisemitic remarks, a sex tape allegedly featuring rapper Kanye West (Ye) has resurfaced.
Reportedly made over a decade ago, the tape was brought back into the spotlight by Kevin Blatt, a self-proclaimed "Hollywood fixer" and "sex tape broker."
Blatt shared a shirtless photo of Ye on his Instagram Story, claiming it to be a screenshot from the 2012 recording.
Broker's claim
Blatt claimed to have prevented the tape's release
Blatt, a Jew himself, claimed he had prevented the recording from being sold and possibly released to the public.
He appeared to have resurfaced the tape in light of Ye's recent sale of Swastika T-shirts and an antisemitic rant on social media.
"Remember that sex tape I helped take off the market for you in 2012 with that hooker in Vegas?" Blatt wrote on Instagram, adding "this JEW didn't forget" about what he called Ye's "horrible performance."
Denial
Ye's representative dismissed Blatt's claims as 'nonsense'
A rep for Ye brushed off Blatt's remarks, saying, "It's nonsense," speaking to The Post.
However, this isn't the first time the existence of such a tape has been alluded to.
In his 2016 song Real Friends, Ye hinted at the making and leaking of an alleged sex tape. He rapped about a cousin who stole his laptop that he was "f—king b—-es on" and paid him $250K just to get it back from him.
Earlier reports
Ye's alleged sex tape first surfaced in 2012
In 2012, TMZ reported that two sex tapes featuring the rapper were being "shopped to the highest bidder."
Entertainment Tonight later confirmed that at least one tape was on the market at that time.
This was around the same time when Ye began his romance with now ex-wife Kim Kardashian, after breaking up with Amber Rose.
Personal turmoil
What triggered the divorce rumors?
The resurfacing of the alleged sex tape comes amid multiple reports that Ye and his wife Censori are headed for divorce.
"She's had enough," a source told The Post on Thursday, adding, "The Swastika shirt was the last straw."
A Page Six report also claimed the same.
However, a representative for the couple denied these reports, stating that they were in Los Angeles preparing to celebrate Valentine's Day together.
Relationship strain
Ye and Censori's relationship has been tumultuous
Ye and Censori's relationship has been controversial, marked by the headline-making appearance at the Grammy Awards.
The musician allegedly ordered Censori to remove her fur coat on the red carpet, leaving her almost naked before cameras. Sources say she looked visibly uncomfortable but obeyed him.
Meanwhile, following Ye's antisemitic rant on X, the 30-year-old took to social media to make it clear that she didn't support Ye's remarks.
She also shared a heartfelt prayer for her husband.
