Yeezy chief of staff Milo Yiannopoulos is no longer employed by Kanye West amid a new direction and apparent mass exodus at the embattled rapper’s company.
The 46-year-old Grammy winner, who now goes by “Ye,” and the former Breitbart editor, 39, have parted ways, the latter confirmed in a statement to TMZ.
“I wish Ye every success in the future. I have some concerns about his new team, and hope he proceeds with caution,” the British far-right commentator told the outlet.
Multiple insiders with direct knowledge told the outlet that several Yeezy leaders have jumped ship in recent weeks. It’s unknown whether all the recent departures are linked to the development of Yeezy Porn, but Yiannopoulos’ is.
He noted in his resignation letter, a copy of which he provided to TMZ, that for both moral and religious reasons, he had zero interest in being associated with adult entertainment.
Such a move risked being “an imminent danger to my life as a recovering addict and an unacceptable risk to my spiritual and physical health as a former homosexual,” he reportedly wrote in the letter.
Last month, a rep for the “Heartless” rapper told TMZ he was consulting with Stormy Daniels’ ex-husband, Michael “Mike Moz” Mosny, to launch a pornography division.
If Ye shelves the pornographic plans, Yiannopoulos noted “it would be an honor to serve you again.”
Ye opened up back in 2019 about his struggles with a “full-on pornography addiction” as well as sex addiction.
At the time, he told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe that the affliction had “affected almost every choice I made for the rest of my life.”
