Milo Yiannopoulos Claims Kanye West’s Nitrous Oxide Addiction Fueled by Dentist Thomas Connelly
Milo Yiannopoulos, the former chief of staff to Kanye West, has made explosive claims accusing the rap legend of battling a dangerous addiction to nitrous oxide. Yiannopoulos alleges that Kanye’s celebrity dentist, Dr. Thomas Connelly, is responsible for fueling this addiction by supplying the rapper with large quantities of the substance.
According to Yiannopoulos, who worked with Kanye from 2022 to 2024, he has obtained evidence in the form of text messages showing that Dr. Connelly agreed to provide Kanye with nitrous oxide at his request. The alleged texts also suggest that Connelly expressed a desire to legalize nitrous oxide for recreational use and even proposed a “delivery system” for the substance.
Yiannopoulos took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on August 13, 2024, to share the purported messages, stating: “PROOF: Thomas Connelly agrees to deliver recreational nitrous oxide to his heavily addicted patient Ye at the latter’s then-residence, Chateau Marmont—the site of dozens of celebrity overdoses and suicides.”
The allegations sparked a heated response, with Dr. Connelly’s spokesperson swiftly issuing a statement categorically denying the claims. The statement read: “Dr. Thomas P. Connelly categorically denies all the false allegations made by Milo Yiannopoulos. Mr. Yiannopoulos, who has admitted to being motivated by personal grievances, has presented a narrative that is not only factually incorrect but also intentionally misleading.”
Connelly’s rep further accused Yiannopoulos of attempting to damage the licensed dentist’s reputation. In response, Yiannopoulos doubled down on his accusations, pointing to further alleged evidence and claiming that the California Dental Board had opened an investigation into Dr. Connelly’s conduct.
In a sworn affidavit filed with the California Dental Board, Yiannopoulos accused Connelly of charging Kanye West over $50,000 per month for supplying enormous quantities of nitrous oxide, a gas typically used in dental procedures to reduce pain and anxiety. He also claimed that Connelly had pitched a business proposal to run Kanye’s Yeezy company, offering to develop a personal-use nitrous oxide system in exchange for a $2.4 million annual salary.
Additionally, Yiannopoulos alleged that Connelly had moved into the same apartment building as Kanye and was seen by a Yeezy employee delivering large surgical tanks of nitrous oxide to Kanye’s wife Bianca Censori’s apartment. He further claimed that Kanye’s alleged addiction had led to disturbing symptoms, including erratic communication and possible brain damage from prolonged abuse.
The affidavit cites a report by current Yeezy employee Eric Cui, who claimed that a brain scan of Kanye revealed evidence of permanent damage caused by the rampant use of nitrous oxide. Yiannopoulos also referenced a video in which Kanye allegedly self-administers the gas through a mask while addressing boxer Ryan Garcia, stating: “Ryan Garcia, this Ye. I’m on the nitrous.”
While Dr. Connelly continues to deny these allegations, the controversy has only grown. As of now, Kanye West himself has not commented on the matter, leaving fans and industry insiders anxiously awaiting his response.
This ongoing scandal raises serious questions about the responsibility of healthcare professionals and the potential dangers posed by recreational nitrous oxide use. As investigations continue, the entertainment world is keeping a close watch on the developments surrounding Kanye West, his dentist, and these shocking claims.
