Kanye West has faced accusations that he paid $250,000 to prevent a sex tape he allegedly filmed with a prostitute in 2012 from being released.
The rapper, 47, whose divorce from Bianca Censori was exclusively reported by Daily Mail, was criticized by former Hollywood fixer Kevin Blatt in an Instagram post on Thursday. Blatt shared a purported screenshot from the alleged tape and accused West of being involved with a prostitute in Las Vegas while on MDMA.

The image, which appeared to show West shirtless on a bed, was captioned: "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.'
Blatt, who was involved in promoting and facilitating the release of Paris Hilton’s 2001 sex tape with Rick Salomon, dubbed "1 Night in Paris," has branded himself as the "Scandal Specialist." He previously told The Sun in 2022 that he has seen numerous celebrity sex tapes and even crossed paths with the stars involved.
He stated: "Let's just say... I've seen gigantic A-listers that you think are straight in gay sex tapes or fetish videos.
'I've seen a lot of stuff - some crazy stuff that I can't bring up because I've signed NDAs. But I will say I can't watch TV like anyone else watches is because I know too much about them."
In 2012, the same year he started dating his future wife Kim Kardashian, 44, TMZ reported that two sex tapes featuring West were being "shopped to the highest bidder."
West and Censori are allegedly heading toward divorce just 11 days after her controversial Grammys appearance, where she bared all on the red carpet.
Reports suggest they have agreed on a $5 million settlement for Censori following their short marriage, which began in December 2022.
A source close to West confirmed the couple has broken up and that an official legal filing to end the marriage is expected soon.
West’s whereabouts are unknown, though some reports suggest he may return to Tokyo, Japan, where he spent much of last year living in a hotel.
Censori appeared visibly uncomfortable on the Grammys red carpet when West allegedly instructed her to drop her fur coat and "make a scene," but she complied with his request.
The following day, he posted on X: "My wife’s first red carpet opened a whole new world. I keep staring at this photo like I was staring in admiration that night Thinking wow I am so lucky to have a wife that is so smart talented brave and hot."
