Kanye West allegedly shared explicit photos and videos of ex-wife Kim Kardashian with Yeezy and Adidas employees in an attempt to intimidate them, a scathing new report by Rolling Stone has claimed.

One young man claimed that West showed him a “pornographic” picture of Kardashian while he was interviewing for a job at West’s sneaker brand, Yeezy, in 2018.

“My wife just sent me this,” West allegedly told him while pulling up a “very revealing and personal” photo of Kardashian on his phone.

According to a report in the New York Post, an open letter from former members of West’s Yeezy fashion brand also accuses Adidas bosses of turning “their moral compass off” amid the self-confessed porn addict’s alleged habit of showing explicit material around the office.

At least one other former employee allegedly remembered West showing an explicit video of Kardashian — who filed for divorce from the rapper in 2021 — to the creative team at Yeezy that same year.

When asked about West showing photos of the Skims founder, a third person seemingly confirmed the allegations.

They claimed that West was “not afraid to show explicit images or talk about situations that should be kept private”.

Another claimed that West cultivated a “sexualised” culture that specifically targeted female Adidas and Yeezy employees.

West allegedly told one female employee: “I want you to make me a shoe I can f**k,”.

These allegations were also detailed in an open letter titled “The Truth About Yeezy: A Call to Action for Adidas Leadership,” which Rolling Stone obtained.

In the letter, many Yeezy employees called out Adidas executives for turning off their “moral compass” and allegedly allowing West to create an “abusive” company culture.

Employees noted that the public got just a taste of West’s troubling behaviour when he released a 30-minute documentary on YouTube in which he showed Adidas executives porn — a common occurrence, according to the insiders.

In the footage, West held his phone horizontally in front of the uncomfortable high-ranking Adidas staff while a video played.

“Is this a porn movie?” one of them asked, to which West replied, “Yeah.”

“Jesus Christ,” one of the men, whose face was blurred out, replied.

“Come on, man. Come on,” the man said while pushing the phone away as West tried to force them to watch more.

Former employees further claimed that West would constantly show pornographic photos and videos — including his own sex tapes.

“I feel it was a tactic to break a person down and establish their unwavering allegiance to him, testing and destroying people’s boundaries,” one person said.

Yeezy was a multibillion-dollar fashion collaboration between West and Adidas which was terminated in October following a number of public anti-semantic social media posts from the rapper.

West had previously opened up about his “porn addiction,” saying it “destroyed” his family.

“Hollywood is a giant brothel Pornography destroyed my family I deal with the addiction Instagram promotes it Not gonna let it happen to Northy and Chicago,” the rapper wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post in September.

West shares four children — North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm — with Kardashian, whom he married in 2014. Kardashian filed for divorce in February 2021.

It comes as West visited Donald Trump at his Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago, asking the former US President to be his 2024 “running mate”.

West, whose Twitter account was reinstated after a slew of offensive antisemitic tweets, told his 32 million followers he’d visited Mar-a-Lago for the first time.

“First time at Mar-a-Lago. Rain and traffic. Can’t believe I kept President Trump waiting. And I had on jeans. Yikes.”

Revealing he and the former US President had been discussing politics, West then asked: “What you guys think his response was when I asked him to be my running mate in 2024?” The options were “That’s very Ye” and “That’s very Nay.”

At the time of writing, “That’s very Ye” was leading with 59 per cent of the vote.
