“Hey @ye, remember that sex tape I helped take off the market for you in 2012 … in Vegas? Yeah, this JEW didn’t forget about what a horrible performance and small [eggplant emoji] you had …”

The Alleged $250,000 Payout

Reports suggest that the sex tape was discovered on a laptop West had given to a family member. His cousin Lawrence Franklin claimed in a 2016 interview that West paid $250,000 to retrieve the laptop and ensure no copies of the footage existed.

West even seemed 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?”

Fans are now speculating whether these lyrics were a direct nod to the resurfaced scandal.

Bianca Censori Split – The Final Straw?

West’s latest controversy comes amid reports that his marriage to Bianca Censori is on the rocks.

The couple, who made headlines with their bold Grammys red carpet appearance, are rumored to have split due to West’s erratic behavior. Sources claim Censori was “exhausted” by his repeated controversial statements, including his decision to sell swastika-branded merchandise online.

A source told Page Six:

“She’s been an awesome wife and awesome collaborator, but this one may be unsurvivable.”

With West’s unpredictable social media activity, deleted posts, and mounting personal drama, it remains to be seen how he navigates this latest controversy.
