Kanye West’s pivot away from music and further into insanity is due to an addiction to nitrous, according to the controversial rapper’s “chief of staff.”
According to Milo Yiannopoulos, who is plenty controversial in his own right, a celebrity dentist Thomas Connelly conducted a plot to get Kanye West hooked on nitrous and now provides him with the gas for the price of $50,000 per month.
Yiannopoulos made the claims on Twitter on Wednesday, August 7.
“There is a reason Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, is no longer capable of successfully releasing music or clothing. In fact, there are several reasons. But the most serious and the most recent is his dentist, Thomas Connelly,” Yiannopoulos posted on Twitter in a thread.
According to Yiannopoulos, Connelly intentionally got Kanye hooked on laughing gas so he could “extract millions of dollars” from the Late Registration rapper.
He says Ye’s addiction to nitrous has caused “self-destructive consequences of dependence” and has made him indifferent to the “prospect of permanent damage to brain or body.”
“Earlier this year, I uncovered the fraud and intervened. 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 p—.”
“Everything I have published today is included in a sworn statement I have given the FBI and the DA. This jurat affidavit was made under penalty of perjury. If I am lying, I go to jail and/or am deported,” he adds.

Yiannopoulus claims that West is “no longer capable” of being the artist he once was come during a stretch of years that’s seen Kanye delve into right-wing conspiracy theories and anti-Semitism, while also releasing the worst-reviewed albums of his career.
Connelly is a Hollywood dentist with over 325,000 followers on Instagram. Donnelly is built like a bodybuilder and has tattoos all over his skin, including his skull. Just days prior to Yiannopoulos’ allegations being made public, Connelly shared a photo of Kanye on his Instagram.
A rep for Connelly has told TMZ that Yiannopoulus is “making up these claims for attention and is attempting to maliciously damage Connelly’s reputation in the process.”
