Kanye West has once again sparked controversy with a series of tweets referencing his ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s infamous 2007 sex tape. In a now-deleted tweet from April 9, the rapper suggested, “Told Ray J we need to hit Kim from both sides for that Superstar part two,” drawing significant backlash. The sex tape, filmed during a vacation in Mexico and released by Vivid Entertainment in 2007, has been a point of contention for years.
Kardashian sued the company for $5 million to gain rights to the tape. The scandal resurfaced recently after an episode of “The Kardashians” in April 2022 revealed that Kanye West had retrieved a laptop and hard drive containing another explicit video. “So Kanye flew home last night, and he came back this morning.
I want to show you guys what he got me. He got me all of the sex tape back,” Kardashian said on the show.

Following this revelation, Ray J accused Kardashian of already possessing the newer sex tape and hinted that her mother, Kris Jenner, was involved in orchestrating the release of the initial tape. Ray J alleged that a meeting with West at a private terminal in Los Angeles was unproductive, claiming West was more focused on returning to his Hulu show. Amid the renewed drama, Kim Kardashian reportedly texted Ray J apologizing for the impact the scandal had on him.
A source revealed that Kardashian was “mortified this period in her life is coming up again,” adding it was a difficult time of speculation and invasion of privacy. West’s recent social media activity hasn’t been limited to the sex tape saga; he has also publicly criticized Kardashian, referring to her as his “nanny” and claiming she was taking away his parental rights. The former couple, who divorced in 2022, share four children: North, 11, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5.
Kardashian has yet to publicly comment on West’s latest outburst. However, a source disclosed that she is considering filing for full custody of their children due to the growing conflict. Sources close to the situation state that Kardashian is finding it increasingly challenging to navigate the ongoing public scrutiny, particularly concerning their children’s well-being.
