The Kanye West story continues to get even more bizarre. His ex business manager claims a dentist got the MC hooked on laughing gas.

As reported by Page Six YE’s former chief of staff made some very interesting allegations about one of his doctors. On Wednesday, August 7, Milo Yiannopoulos (yeah, that same Milo Yiannopoulos) claimed a dentist has gotten the Chicago, Illinois native hooked on nitrous oxide; a odorless, colorless, non-flammable gas that when inhaled will cause a state of euphoria. He detailed his theory over a series of post on X, formerly known as Twitter. “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.” he wrote.

“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.” he added. “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 porn.” Milo also proclaims Kanye isn’t the only rapper who is victim of Connelly’s crooked ways. “Thomas Connelly is a dangerous predator who targets African-American celebrities—into whose mouth he puts fake diamonds, as I suspect he did to @lilyachty He must be stopped.”

Yiannopoulos went on to share a sworn affidavit of his time while overseeing the YEEZY empire. His account includes him finding “dozens of fraudulent schemes, audacious greed, double billing, duplication of labor, entirely unnecessary employees collecting seven-figure salaries and all manner of other senseless wastes of money.” Additionally, he lays out that Connelly charges Kanye about $50,000 a month for the laughing gas. A representative for the dentist tells TMZ that Milo’s claims are “not only factually incorrect but also intentionally misleading.”
