Kanye West has issued a surprising response to Kevin Blatt’s claim that he helped prevent the rapper’s 2012 sex tape from going public.
Blatt, 55, known as a ‘Hollywood fixer,’ brought up the alleged recording of West from more than 10 years ago after the Chicago-bred music artist took to social media last week with an anti-semitic rant.
Blatt shared a screenshot of West, now 47, appearing in the video and wrote in an Instagram Story: ‘Hey @ye Remember that sex tape I helped take off the market for you in 2012 … in Vegas?’
An image showed West sitting shirtless on the edge of a bed in 2012. Blatt claimed he prevented the recording from being sold for $395,000 and released to the public.
Responding to the claim on Friday night via a now-deleted post on X, Kanye wrote: ‘THAT WAS A FUN NIGHT CANT WAIT TO SEE IT AGAIN.’
Kevin added in his explosive post, ‘Yeah, this JEW didn’t forget about what a horrible performance and small [penis] you had [while] high on MDMA.

‘Hey, why don’t you GO F*** your favorite person in the world — YOURSELF.’
Blatt appeared to be hitting back at comments made by West earlier in the week, which saw the Yeezy designer make vitriolic remarks against Jewish people, which he later deleted.
West also took to selling T-shirts with swastikas printed on them via his website, which was deleted by Shopify within 24 hours.
Expanding on his threats, Blatt took to Instagram’s Twitter-like Threads app to say more.’I’ve been giving it some thought, and I think this Jew should go public with the details of the sex tape I intercepted for Kanye the Nazi right before he met Kim K,’ Blatt said, referring to West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
He added: ‘It’s a hell of a story, and one of the worst performances, I’m sure, of his troubled life.’
Blatt notably promoted and facilitated the release of Paris Hilton’s sex tape with ex Rick Salomon, filmed in 2021 and not intended for public consumption, and later released in 2004 under the title 1 Night In Paris.
Despite years of invoking antisemitic tropes, his renewed attack on the Jewish community could finally be the death knell for the controversial rapper, 47, who has insisted he is of sound mind and will never apologize for his comments.
His recent maelstrom of posts saw him refer to himself as a Nazi and claim he ‘loved Hitler,’ as well as using his Yeezy website to sell a $20 white T-shirt emblazoned with a swastika.
Following the shocking spree, his X account was deactivated, his agent publicly cut ties, he was sued by a former Jewish staffer, and his Yeezy website was pulled.

But in the biggest blow to the troubled star, his Australian wife, Bianca Censori, has reportedly walked away from their two-year marriage as West scrambles to cling on to his crumbling image.
Earlier this week shortly before Valentine’s Day, it was revealed that the pair have the ‘plan to divorce’ – just days after her naked Grammys stunt on the red carpet.
‘Everyone around him is jumping ship because no one wants to be associated or affiliated with him anymore,’ an insider told DailyMail.com. ‘They’re scared.
‘There is nothing he can do to recover from this except get help to check on his mental health.’
The discontent for West has spread to his circle with Daniel McCartney of 33 & West dropping him ‘effective immediately’ over the ‘harmful and hateful remarks’.
Milo Yiannopoulos, who previously worked with West on his short-lived presidential campaign, is currently handling his publicity.
Even Ty Dolla $ign, who worked with West on Vultures I and II, denounced hate speech, declaring on Instagram: ‘I do not condone ANY form of hate speech towards ANYBODY.’
DailyMail.com can reveal a long-time collaborator, who did not wish to be named, has also cut ties after receiving death threats.
They had worked with West for more than a decade and were set to help executive produce his new art film in which Censori was playing the lead. She had put pause on the project this week after reportedly being left ‘too traumatized’ by her husband’s actions.
‘People who work for him have been receiving calls asking how they can still work for him after his antisemitic remarks,’ said a second source. ‘Many are jumping ship to protect their opportunities in the future.
‘Ye has been calling people he used to work with to offer them jobs.’
They claim he is desperate to re-hire Jason Lee, the founder of Hollywood Unlocked who quit as Head of Media and Partnerships for West after just six months in 2022 following the artist’s previous antisemitic tirade and bombshell claims about slavery being a choice.
