Kanye West’s former chief of staff accused dentist Thomas Connelly of getting the rapper addicted to nitrous oxide.
“There is a reason Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, is no longer capable of successfully releasing music or clothing,” Milo Yiannopoulos claimed in a series of posts on X Wednesday.
“Connelly got Ye hooked on nitrous—laughing gas. It is my belief that Connelly sought to diminish Ye’s mental faculties so that Connelly and his business associates could extract millions of dollars from him.”

The British far-right political commentator further claimed he “uncovered the fraud” and “intervened,” which upset the Grammy winner, 47, and led to Yiannopoulos’ exit from Yeezy earlier this year.
“Ye, hooked on nitrous, blew up our relationship on purpose by proposing something he knew I’d have to resign over (because I had told him so): the resurrection of his longtime idle fantasy of making porn,” he alleged.
In April, the West’s rep told Pvnew he was in talks to launch a “Yeezy Porn” studio after reportedly considering the idea for some time.
Yiannopoulos, who worked for the “Gold Digger” rapper between 2022 and 2024, confirmed he filed a complaint against Connelly with the California Dental Board, claiming he’s “a dangerous predator who targets African-American celebrities.”
He posted the legal affidavit, which alleged the dentist charged West $50,000 per month to supply nitrous gas for recreational use.
Yiannopoulos further accused Connelly of giving the “Heartless” hitmaker the gas even after he began showing “distressing symptoms that led to widespread comment and concern.”
Additionally, the complaint alleged the celebrity dentist gave West so much gas that he had “four surgical size canisters” in his home at one time.
Yiannopoulos also claimed Connelly spoke about “putting Ye under … as though it were a normal part of everyday life.”
A rep for Connelly denied the allegations to TMZ Wednesday, saying Yiannopoulos’ tweets were “not only factually incorrect but also intentionally misleading.”
The rep also accused Yiannopoulos of making false statements to gain attention and damage Connelly’s reputation.
West’s lawyer and Connelly’s office did not immediately respond to Pvnew’s requests for comment.
Connelly, the self-proclaimed “Father of Diamond Dentistry,” installed West’s $850,000 titanium prosthodontics earlier this year.
“Ye was a pleasure to work with every step of the process,” he told Complex in January. “His vision for designing unique art transcends the dental progression.”
