The alt-right provocateur, who was the rapper's chief of staff, resigned on Wednesday saying he "cannot be complicit in the production of dissemination of pornographic films"
Milo Yiannopoulos is out at Yeezy, Rolling Stone has confirmed. The alt-right provocateur allegedly had a falling out with Kanye West over the rapper’s decision to get into the porn business.
Yiannopoulos, whom West tapped to run his dubious 2024 presidential campaignlast year, announced he resigned as the rapper’s chief of staff on Wednesday in an email obtained by TMZ. “I cannot be complicit in the production of dissemination of pornographic films and literature, for moral and religious reasons,” Yiannopoulos wrote. “But also because of such material and the kind of people invariably involved in its production represent an imminent danger to my life as a recovering addict and an unacceptable risk to my spiritual and physical health as a former homosexual.”
However, Yiannopoulos noted it would be “an honor” to return to West’s team if he abandons his plans to enter into the adult entertainment business. Rolling Stone has contacted Yiannopoulos for further comment, although his Yeezy email address responds with the automated message: “I AM NO LONGER WITH YEEZY.”
A source close to the situation claims that around 20 other Yeezy employees have also left the brand because of West’s other alleged personal issues. “Porn was the slightest of factors,” they say. (Rolling Stone has contacted a representative for West for comment.)
Despite his recent condemnations of pornography, last month West tweeted “Yeezy Porn Is Cumming” after reports emerged that he was partnering with Stormy Daniels’ porn producer ex-husband Mike Moz. A source tells Rolling Stonethey doubt any plans will come to fruition because West will allegedly struggle to launch a new venture without a team behind him.
West already has his hands full with a host of problems at his private Christian school, Donda Academy, after a number of teachers have sued him over their terminations and alleged safety concerns at the facility.
