Kanye West allegedly showed explicit pictures and videos of Kim Kardashian to Yeezy staff at Adidas, according to former employees.
It's claimed the controversial Bound 2 rapper, 45, showed naked pictures of his then-wife, including his own sex tape, to Adidas team members.
According to Rolling Stone, ex-employees on Ye's Yeezy team made the explosive claims in a letter to bosses calling for action from Adidas leadership.
Former staff accuse the fashion company of 'turning a blind eye to abhorrent behaviour', the publication claims.
Yeezy staff and creative collaborators claim Kanye 'played pornography' during meetings, 'discussed porn and showed an intimate photograph of Kim Kardashian in job interviews'.

He allegedly showed 'explicit videos and photos of Kim, as well as his own sex tapes,' according to Ye's former team members, reports Rolling Stone.
One claims Kanye showed him an explicit picture of Kim during his job interview in 2018. He says that Kanye allegedly pulled out his phone and said, "My wife just sent me this" – the staffer has claimed the picture was 'super revealing and personal'.
Another claims Kanye showed the Yeezy creative team an explicit video of Kim that year, while a third team member confirmed the accusations.
They said that Kanye 'wasn't afraid to show off explicit material' or 'talk about personal matters that should've been kept private'.
A month after Adidas cut ties with Kanye following his spree of online hate speech, including his antisemitism on Twitter, more than two dozen former Yeezy and Adidas staffers described 'abusive office culture' that left many of them 'fearing for their livelihoods'.

According to Rolling Stone, who has seen all of the claims, Kanye "did more than test the boundaries of professionalism".
They report that the staff letter suggests that Adidas were aware of West’s "problematic behaviour" but "turned their moral compass off".
A spokesperson for Adidas told The Mirror: "Adidas does not tolerate hate speech and offensive behaviour and therefore has terminated the adidas Yeezy partnership.
"We have been and continue to be actively engaged in conversations with our employees about the events that led to our decision to end the partnership. They have our full support and as we’re working through the details of the termination, we have been clear that we want to keep our employees’ talent and skills within the organization.
"Having said this, we will not discuss private conversations, details or events that lead to our decision to terminate the adidas Yeezy partnership and decline to comment on any related speculation.

The Mirror has contacted representatives for Kanye West and Kim Kardashian for a comment.
Kanye has previously admitted being 'addicted to pornography' since he was just five years old, admitting he was so besotted with the explicit images.
He told Apple Beats 1 radio host Zane Lowe in 2019: "Playboy was my gateway into full-on pornography addiction.
"My dad had a Playboy left out at age five, and it’s affected almost every choice I made for the rest of my life from age five to now, having to kick the habit."
Kim rose to fame in 2007 after a sex tape, filmed in 2002, of herself and her then-boyfriend Ray J was leaked by an adult entertainment company online.
Last year, the subject of the tape resurfaced as scenes in Kim's family reality show The Kardashians saw her ex-husband Kanye retrieve the tape for her after Kim saw an advert for 'unseen footage' of the tape.
In the episode, it was claimed Kanye met with Ray J at the airport in Los Angeles to get the tape – a claim which Ray J later denied as he said: "All of this is a lie smh - Can’t let them do this anymore - so untrue."
Later, Kris Jenner denied releasing the sex tape during an appearance on The Late Late Show With James Corden after she was accused by Ray J of "controlling the sex tape deal".
Kris took a lie detector test on the show and was asked by host James: "Did you help Kim release her sex tape?"
She answered "no", and it was indicated the polygraph found she was telling the truth.
