Milo Yiannopoulos Parts Ways With Kanye West Over Yeezy Porn Plan

Milo Yiannopoulos Parts Ways With Kanye West Over Yeezy Porn Plan

Milo Yiannopoulos is out at Yeezy, Rolling Stone has confirmed. The alt-right provocateur allegedly had a falling out with Kanye West over the rapper’s decision to get into the porn business. 

Yiannopoulos, whom West tapped to run his dubious 2024 presidential campaign last year, announced he resigned as the rapper’s chief of staff on Wednesday in an email obtained by TMZ. “I cannot be complicit in the production of dissemination of pornographic films and literature, for moral and religious reasons,” Yiannopoulos wrote. “But also because of 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.”


However, Yiannopoulos noted it would be “an honor” to return to West’s team if he abandons his plans to enter into the adult entertainment business. Rolling Stone has contacted Yiannopoulos for further comment, although his Yeezy email address responds with the automated message: “I AM NO LONGER WITH YEEZY.”   

A source close to the situation claims that around 20 other Yeezy employees have also left the brand because of West’s other alleged personal issues. “Porn was the slightest of factors,” they say. (Rolling Stone has contacted a representative for West for comment.)

Despite his recent condemnations of pornography, last month West tweeted “Yeezy Porn Is Cumming” after reports emerged that he was partnering with Stormy Daniels’ porn producer ex-husband Mike Moz. A source tells Rolling Stone they doubt any plans will come to fruition because West will allegedly struggle to launch a new venture without a team behind him. 

West already has his hands full with a host of problems at his private Christian school, Donda Academy, after a number of teachers have sued him over their terminations and alleged safety concerns at the facility.

Pierre Lapointe, Grand duke of broken souls

Many years ago, while studying theatrical performance at Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe, Pierre Lapointe was given a peculiar exercise by his teacher. The students were asked to walk from one end of the classroom to the other while observing their peers. Based solely on their gait, posture, and gaze, they had to assign each other certain qualities, a character, or even a profession.

Lapointe remembers being told that there was something princely about him. That was not exactly the term that this young, queer student, freshly emancipated from the Outaouais region and marked by a childhood tinged with near-chronic sadness, would have instinctively chosen for himself. Though he had been unaware of his own regal qualities, he has spent more than 20 years trying to shed this image, one he admits he may have subtly cultivated in his early days.

Dominique Fils-Aimé Follows Her Heart and Own Rules

You know that little inner voice whispering in your ear to be cautious about this, or to give more weight to that? Dominique Fils-Aimé always listens to it — especially when people push her to go against her gut instinct. The jazz artist doesn’t care for conventions or received wisdom. She treats every seed life drops along her path as an opportunity to follow her instincts. To go her own way. To listen to her heart. And it pays off.

The Montreal singer-songwriter tends to question everything we take for granted. Case in point: applause between songs at her shows. Anyone who’s seen her live knows she asks audiences to wait until the end of the performance to clap, so as not to break the spell she creates each time.

On «Abracadabra», Klô Pelgag proves she still has the magic

Anyone who has seen Klô Pelgag on stage can attest to her untamable energy, punk spirit, and refreshing spontaneity. "I really enjoy sweating and being out of breath," she says. "Feeling a little drained after a show is the best." The artist, who I met with on a rainy day, is the polar opposite of her onstage persona: today, she’s gentle, thoughtful, and introverted. Her soft, calm voice contrasts with the loud bustle of the crowded restaurant where we’re seated.

These different facets of Chloé Pelletier-Gagnon coexist harmoniously within her. After all, we are all made of paradoxes and multitudes. "Sometimes, I feel more like myself on stage than when I bump into someone I vaguely know at the grocery store and engage in small talk. That’s when I struggle!" she says, laughing.
