Kanye West Yeezy Chief Of Staff Exits Amid Company Mass Exodus
Kanye West’s Yeezy Chief of Staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, has reportedly departed the company amid a mass exodus. TMZ reports that the United Kingdom-born political figure submitted a letter of resignation to Ye and what’s left of his team. In the letter, Yiannopoulos wished West all the best while simultaneously showing concern for the new iteration of his Yeezy team. However, his most poignant reason for leaving the company was Ye’s recent decision to enter the porn industry, with the establishment known as “Yeezy Porn.”
Milo asserted that “Yeezy Porn” goes against his morals and religious beliefs and objected to involving himself in producing any of the risqué material. Additionally, Yiannopoulos explained that he can’t be around this type of material due to him being a recovering addict and a “former homosexual.”
“I cannot be complicit in the production or dissemination of pornographic films and literature, for moral and religious reasons, but also because such material and the kind of people invariably involved in its production represent an imminent danger to my life as a recovering addict and an unacceptable risk to my spiritual and physical health as a former homosexual,” he wrote. “I tender my resignation.”
Later in the note, the controversial figure insisted that if “Yeezy Porn” was to cease production or if the company changed its mind on its next endeavor, he would be “[honored] to serve” Kanye West again.
The outlet also details that other key leaders at Yeezy have also jumped ship. These people have all exited their top leadership roles in the last few weeks. It is currently unclear whether their departures are tied directly to the issue of moral infringement involving the creation of Yeezy Porn.
Speaking of YP, West has been in contact with numerous celebrities as he readies the Yeezy brand to enter the world of pornography. West has reportedly spoken with Stormy Daniel’s ex, Mike Moz, about establishing a “new porn business.” Moz detailed to TMZ that the new take on porn would be “unlike anything that the industry has ever seen.”
Ye has yet to comment on Milo Yiannopoulos’ exit or Yeezy’s mass exodus.
