Kanye West is still working to lock up his sex tape so it never hits the market, Breaking Celebrity News is exclusively reporting.

According to an insider, Kanye's camp and the team shopping the sex tape got into a war shortly after Breaking Celebrity News exclusively broke the story - with the sellers wanting big bucks for it, and Kanye's team claiming the material was illegally obtained.

"Kanye's camp has been negotiating for the sex tape so he can buy back the copyright and it's never released," the source said.

"The problem is that adult entertainment companies are offering huge amounts of money for rights to the tape, so Kanye and his team are working overdrive trying to work something out."

As Breaking Celebrity News was first to report, Kanye made a sex tape sometime just before he started dating Kim Kardashian with a young woman who was a Kim look-a-like.
