Kanye West has responded to claims made by Kevin Blatt, a Hollywood fixer, who recently revived the story of an alleged 2012 sex tape featuring the rapper.
Blatt, 55, claimed to have helped prevent the release of the video, which was reportedly being offered for $395,000 at the time. West, 47, took to social media to address the matter, sharing a now-deleted post on X that read: "THAT WAS A FUN NIGHT CANT WAIT TO SEE IT AGAIN."
Blatt's bombshell revelation came after West’s recent anti-Semitic outbursts on social media. He posted an Instagram story referencing the sex tape, writing: "Hey @ye Remember that sex tape I helped take off the market for you in 2012 … in Vegas?" accompanied by a screenshot of West sitting shirtless on a bed.
Adding fuel to the fire, Blatt taunted West, saying: "Yeah, this JEW didn't forget about what a horrible performance and small [penis] you had [while] high on MDMA."

He later took to Threads to hint that he might publicly release details of the alleged sex tape, referring to it as "one of the worst performances" in West's life.
West’s controversial remarks have caused major repercussions for his career and personal life. He was recently seen making vitriolic comments about Jewish people and even attempted to sell T-shirts emblazoned with swastikas.
Following this behavior, his X account was deactivated, his talent agency cut ties with him, and his Yeezy website was taken down by Shopify.
The drama surrounding West’s personal life has intensified, with reports indicating that his wife, Bianca Censori, is now planning to divorce him. Their marriage, which was just over a year old, has reportedly been on the rocks following West's recent outbursts.
Sources close to the couple revealed that Censori, who stunned onlookers at the 2025 Grammys in a sheer dress, has been left traumatized by her husband’s actions. She has also paused work on a joint project with West, which was set to feature her in the lead role.
West’s personal and professional circles have been rapidly distancing themselves from him. Longtime collaborators are quitting due to his comments, and he has allegedly been calling former associates, including Jason Lee, to offer them jobs. However, many are hesitant to work with him, fearing backlash and reputational damage.
The rapper’s divorce from Censori comes just after a string of public controversies, including his harmful remarks towards various groups and celebrities.
The couple’s marriage has now entered rocky territory, with both of their futures uncertain amid this latest crisis.
