Kanye West’s Chief Of Staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, Quits Rapper’s Company Over ‘Yeezy Porn’

Kanye West‘s right-hand man, Milo Yiannopoulos, reportedly resigned from Yeezy after working with the rapper for the past two years.

Yiannopoulos noted that his decision was based on the fact that West is set to foray into the adult entertainment industry, which he’s seemingly not in support of.

He also raised eyebrows over West’s new team members, advising the “Donda” rapper to “proceed with caution.”

According to TMZ, Yiannopoulos has stepped down from his role at Yeezy as West’s Chief Of Staff amid the reported mass exodus of executives trailing the rapper’s company.

The 39-year-old executive had been the point man for Yeezy in the past two years before handing in his notice, where he shared his dissatisfaction with West’s new team and his planned foray into the porn industry.

“I wish Ye every success in the future. I have some concerns about his new team and hope he proceeds with caution,” he told the news outlet.

In his resignation letter, Yiannopoulos emphasized that he can’t be a party to “producing/distributing pornographic material for moral and religious reasons.”

He went further to state that such efforts and the people involved 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.”

Yiannopoulos, however, left the door to a potential return to the company open, stating that “it would be an honor to serve you again” if the company “publicly and permanently abandons” its plans to commence work in the porn industry.

According to TMZ, many other top executives with Yeezy have followed in Yiannopoulos’ footsteps.

Multiple sources told the news outlet that key players among the company’s leadership have resigned in the past few weeks, although it remains unclear if they exited the company because of its planned porn venture.

It comes as the “Jesus is King” rapper is reportedly in advanced stages of talks to launch his professional porn studio, which he’s reportedly collaborating on with Stormy Daniels’ ex-husband Mike Moz.

A Yeezy rep previously told the news outlet that he’d been considering the idea for some time now and is finally set to launch because “he and his partners are in advanced talks to actually get something up and running.”

The “Gold Digger” rapper’s foray into the adult film business comes as a surprise after he previously detailed how he struggled with porn addiction.

According to the Daily Mail, West previously opened up on his struggles with porn addiction and later decried how it had destroyed his family, which he once shared with reality TV star Kim Kardashian.

In his 2019 interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s Beats 1 Radio, the “Vultures 1” rapper admitted that he had a “full-on pornography addiction,” which began at age five when he found a Playboy magazine.

He said, “For me, 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.”

He added, “From age five til now, having to kick the habit, and it just presents itself in the open like it’s OK, and I stand up and say, ‘No, it’s not ok.'”

In a 2022 Instagram post, Kanye West also shared that porn “destroyed” his family, per Page Six.

“Don’t let Kris make you do playboy like she made [Kylie] and Kim do,” he wrote at the time, addressing Victoria Villarroel, Kylie Jenner’s former assistant.

“Hollywood is a giant brothel. Pornography destroyed my family. I deal with the addiction Instagram promotes it. Not gonna let it happen to Northy and Chicago,” he added.

Many of West’s close associates may not like his new business venture. However, people in the adult entertainment industry are already giving their approval, hoping the rapper will bring a new wave of creativity to the industry.

One such person is Adam Grandmaison, more commonly known as Adam22, who advised West to keep his wife, Bianca Censori, away from it but shared that he expects the rapper to cause some positive changes in the industry.

According to TMZ, the podcaster-turned-adult entertainer insisted that West would spice things up in the industry thanks to his creativity; however, he didn’t approve of Censori having sex on camera.

He said, “I would assume that probably Kanye would not want to be dealing with the bulls–t that comes with your wife doing porn.”

Adam added that the “Carnival” collaborator’s XXX business venture comes as a breath of fresh air because aside from the large amount of “eyeball” he’d bring to the industry, West will surely improve the aesthetics and imagery.
