Who’s Kevin Blatt, the man threatening to release Ye’s sex tape? He’s a ‘reputation management’ agent who alleges to have quashed Kanye West’s video in 2012 – but promoted Paris Hilton’s 2003 tape

Following the ‘Power’ rapper’s antisemitic meltdown on X (formerly Twitter), Blatt, who is Jewish, began selling his own ‘F Kanye West’ merchandise and threatened to release the rapper’s sex tape.

Rapper and Yeezy founder Kanye West is courting controversy once again.
Just days ago, he showed up to the Grammys, uninvited, with his wife Bianca Censori, who went on to disrobe on the red carpet, baring all in a see-through dress.
The couple were promptly escorted out of the event. Hours later, the “Runaway” singer bragged about the polarising stunt, flexing with a Google Trends screenshot that showed searches for the key phrase “Bianca Censori Grammys” topping “Grammy winners 2025”.

Not long after, he went on an antisemitic rampage on X and started selling swastika shirts. This was followed by his talent agency 33&West dropping him and rumours of his split from Censori, per Page Six.

Now, he’s being hit with a new scandal. Hollywood fixer Kevin “KB” Blatt, 55, claims he helped West – who goes by Ye – get rid of a sex tape back in 2012, and is now threatening to expose him for it.

So, just who is Kevin Blatt?

Blatt’s threat against Ye came shortly after the 24-time Grammy winner’s tirade against Jewish people on X. “Hey @ye Remember that sex tape I helped take off the market for you in 2012 … in Vegas?”

Blatt, who is Jewish, wrote on his Instagram Stories, adding, “Yeah this Jew didn’t forget about what a horrible performance and small [penis] u had.” He later told Page Six he meant it as a “lesson”.

Ye responded on X, “THAT WAS A FUN NIGHT CAN’T WAIT TO SEE IT AGAIN.”

Blatt is now selling “F Kanye West” shirts of his own.
