According to a recent report by Rolling Stone, rapper Kanye West, also known as Ye, used explicit images and videos of his then-wife Kim Kardashian to assert dominance over Yeezy staff.

The report was based on interviews with more than two dozen former staff members for Yeezy and Adidas.

Some of these former staff members described how West, on multiple occasions, showed them explicit imagery of Kardashian, often unprompted.

One such incident occurred during a 2018 meeting with the Yeezy creative team, during which West screened an explicit video of Kardashian in front of the team.

Another incident occurred during a meeting between West and an unnamed young creative in Chicago.

The creative was interviewing for a job with West, and during the meeting West pulled out his phone and showed the creative an intimate photo of Kardashian.

Rolling Stone also reported that West played p-n, not involving Kardashian, in front of Yeezy collaborators.

One collaborator recounted a meeting they had with West at his Hollywood Hills home, during which West showed him an explicit video of pn star Francesca Le engaged in a bedroom act with another woman.

Two other creatives, who worked with West during the early days of Yeezy, reported that West once showed them amateur pn videos of himself sleeping with women.

The report also claims that West used bullying and manipulation tactics to control and assert dominance over his staff.

One former employee stated that “he [West] would use fear and manipulation to control us. It was like working for a dictator.”

An open letter to Adidas, signed by several former Yeezy employees, has also been released in which the writers claim that Adidas executives “turned their moral compass off” in relation to West’s behavior.
