The moment Kanye West personally delivered Kim Kardashian’s infamous sex tape to his ex-wife was captured in episode three of Hulu’s The Kardashians, which premiered on Thursday (April 28).
The sex tape, which also featured Kardashian’s then-boyfriend Ray J, catapulted the reality TV star to fame when it leaked in 2007. But the tape has been back in the headlines in recent months after Wack 100 claimed he possessed “graphic” new footage and offered to gift it to Kanye as a “personal, private NFT.”
Kim Kardashian and her team denied the existence of a second sex tape, but there’s no doubting Kanye’s heroics in retrieving the alleged footage. The episode shows the Chicago rap icon meeting his ex-wife and some of her family in New York in October, fresh off a red-eye flight from Los Angeles where he collected the sex tape from Ray J.
“I just came from the airport. I had to go to L.A. and come back. I just traveled to get something for Kim,” Ye tells Kim’s mother, Kris Jenner, inside the hotel room. “That’s what she wants to show you.”
Kanye then lays down a suitcase in front of Kim and co., before his ex-wife unzips it to reveal a laptop and hard drive containing the allegedly unseen footage of her storied sex tape.
“So Kanye flew home last night and he came back this morning and I want to show you guys what he got me,” Kim tells the group while crying. “He got me all of the sex tape back.”
Jenner also shows her appreciation, saying, “Thank you for Kanye and for his unbelievable way he does things and the ability to get something done — and probably a big, fat, huge check, so we’re all very grateful.”
Kanye reassures her, “Oh, definitely not no check. We’re not getting extorted ever again.”
