Kanye West is grabbing headlines more than ever now for all the wrong reasons. He has been accused of using porn and ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s explicit photos to control and bully his staff at Adidas and Yeezy.
The report said that West used to show porn and explicit images of ex-wife Kim Kardashian to his staff in meetings to control them, a new report by Rolling Stone reported.
Former Yeezy and Adidas employees said that West used intimidation tactics with the staff of his fashion empire that was provocative, frequently sexualized, and often directed toward women.
According to the report by the Rolling Stone, the staff claimed that the 43-year-old rapper and producer showed explicit video and photos of Kardashian as well as his own sex tapes to Yeezy team members.
