Kanye West Reportedly Shared Kim Kardashian's Illicit Photos And Videos To Yeezy Staff
An explosive expose by Rolling Stone featured several ex-employees of West, who spoke about him showing them some intimate videos and photos, some of which involved his ex-wife and others featured him with other women. He allegedly did it as an "intimidation" tactic to manipulate his employees, Radar Online reported.
One creative recounted the time when the Gold Digger rapper allegedly showed him a private photo of The Kardashians star during a 2018 interview.
"My wife just sent me this," West, who now goes by Ye, reportedly told the employee. He turned his phone to reveal Kardashian's intimate snap.
The insider didn't go into detail about what the photo was. But hinted that "It was very revealing and personal," and he "didn't really react."
Another claimed that at least one other time that same year, West played an explicit video of the Skims founder.
"He's not afraid to show explicit images or talk about situations that should be kept private," a third source said.
Kanye West Showed Adidas Exec A Porn Video During Business Meeting
In October, the Grammy-winner shocked the execs of Adidas during a meeting when he began playing a pornographic film during the discussion. The meeting was documented in a 30-minute YouTube video.
West showed four other businessmen, whose faces were blurred, the video. He held his phone horizontally to show them the clip.
"Is this a porn movie?" one asked after a few seconds. He replied, "Yeah."
"Jesus Christ," another said.
Eventually, one moved his arm and phone away. West said he showed them the X-rated film to draw a parallel between its plot and their business relationship.
"You guys have done wrong by the company, by the business and by the partnership," he went on. "The whole concept of this video is that the guy had cheated, so then the girl was like, 'Well then I'm going to do the thing that's your worst nightmare.'"
"What you're feeling right now is extreme discomfort, and that is exactly the point because when someone steals this man's ideas, his creations, it's like you're stealing a child. These are all children of his mind, and you've kidnapped them," West's liaison said. "There are Yeezy-inspired derivatives that are making significant revenue because people can't tell the difference because it's so inspired. ... He's angry, and he's right."
West alleged that Adidas copied his ideas. He had been calling them out for allegedly stealing his ideas.

Kanye West Lost Money After Adidas Terminated Partnership
West made several allegations against Adidas, prompting the company to put their partnership under review. In October, Adidas decided to cut ties with West.
The Donda rapper admitted that he lost 2 billion after Adidas terminated their partnership.
"I LOST 2 BILLION DOLLARS IN ONE DAY AND I'M STILL ALIVE," West, who now goes by Ye, wrote on Instagram. "THIS IS LOVE SPEECH. I STILL LOVE YOU. GOD STILL LOVES YOU. THE MONEY IS NOT WHO I AM. THE PEOPLE IS WHO I AM."

Hollywood talent house Creative Artist Agency (CAA) also dropped West for the same reason, CBS News reported.
