Kanye West & Yeezy Chief Of Staff Milo Yiannopoulos Part Ways Over Creation Of Adult Film Division

Milo Yiannopoulos, the chief of staff at Kanye West’s company, Yeezy, is no longer employed at the clothing brand. 

This development comes amid a reported mass exodus of Yeezy leaders and a new direction for the embattled rapper’s business.

Yiannopoulos, 39, a far-right British commentator, confirmed the development in a statement and wished West “every success in the future.” However, he expressed concerns about West’s “new team.” Multiple insiders with direct knowledge have revealed that several Yeezy leaders have recently departed the company, though the exact reasons behind these departures remain unclear.

One major factor contributing to Yiannopoulos’ exit is the reported plans to launch a pornographic division within Yeezy. In his resignation letter, Yiannopoulos stated that he had “zero interest in being associated with adult entertainment” due to moral and religious reasons and cited concerns about the potential risks of 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.”

This event comes on the heels of West’s open acknowledgment of his struggles with a “full-on pornography addiction” and sex addiction, which he claimed had “affected almost every choice” he made in the past. It remains to be seen whether West will proceed with the proposed plans or if he will heed Yiannopoulos’ suggestion and shelve the plans. 

Yiannopoulos commented if those changes took place, it would be an “honor to serve you again.”

The upheaval within Yeezy’s leadership coincides with a broader shift in the company’s direction as West continues to navigate the challenges, including his inability to sell his $39 million gutted Malibu home and controversies, including charges of racism by former employees, that have surrounded his public face and business ventures in recent years.
