Kanye West has finally responded to resurfaced claims about an old sex tape involving him. The controversy gained traction after Hollywood fixer Kevin “KB” Blatt alleged that he prevented the tape from being made public more than a decade ago.
West Responds with Sarcasm
After screenshots of Blatt’s allegations spread online, West reacted on X (formerly Twitter). He sarcastically wrote, “THAT WAS A FUN NIGHT CANT WAIT TO SEE IT AGAIN.” His post, which he shared on Friday night, quickly went viral. However, he later deleted it.

Blatt Reveals His Intentions
Meanwhile, Blatt, who has long been involved in the adult entertainment industry, made these claims shortly after West’s antisemitic remarks stirred controversy. In an Instagram story, he directly addressed West, writing:
“Hey @ye Remember that sex tape I helped take off the market for you in 2012 … in Vegas?”
Additionally, he shared a shirtless photo of West and added, “Yeah this JEW didn’t forget about what a horrible performance and small u had …”
Later, Blatt told Page Six that he went public with these claims to “teach West a lesson.”
West Allegedly Paid $250,000 to Keep Tape Private
According to reports, the tape was found on a laptop that West had given to a family member. His cousin, Lawrence Franklin, previously told Daily Mail in 2016 that the video surfaced in 2012, around the same time West started dating Kim Kardashian.
Determined to keep the footage from leaking, West reportedly paid over $250,000 to recover it. This money allegedly ensured that no copies remained.
Interestingly, West appeared to reference the incident in his 2016 song Real Friends, rapping:
“I had a cousin that stole my laptop that I was f–kin’ bitches on / Paid that n—a 250,000 just to get it from him / Real friends / Huh?”
As a result, fans now believe these lyrics alluded to the resurfaced sex tape controversy.
West Faces Personal and Social Media Chaos
In addition to this controversy, West’s social media activity has become increasingly erratic. He has deleted multiple posts, including his response to Blatt, shortly after sharing them.
At the same time, reports suggest that he split from his second wife, Bianca Censori. The couple, who recently made headlines for their daring Grammy red carpet appearance, has allegedly gone their separate ways.
According to a Page Six insider, Censori felt “exhausted” by West’s behavior, particularly after he attempted to sell swastika-branded merchandise. The source further stated, “She’s been an awesome wife and awesome collaborator, but this one may be unsurvivable.”
