Ye (fka Kanye West) returned to headlines this week following alarming allegations surrounding substance abuse, specifically nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas. Claims made by his former chief of staff Milo Yiannopoulos accused Dr. Thomas Connelly of supplying the substance to Ye for recreational purposes. Naturally, this led to widespread concern among fans and peers of Ye surrounding his well-being.
Yiannopoulos leaked text messages that further fueled the rumors that Ye formed a dependency. It’s an alarming claim that highlights the dangers of nitrous oxide misuse, which can not only form a dependency but also possible nerve damage. Below, we dive into the scandal.
Allegations Against Kanye West's Use Of Nitrous Oxide
The controversy surrounding Kanye West's alleged use of nitrous oxide has gained widespread attention after shocking claims emerged from those close to him. Milo Yiannopoulos, West's former chief of staff, has become a central figure in exposing these allegations. Yiannopoulos recently posted a series of text messages on social media, purportedly showing conversations between West, his dentist Dr. Thomas Connelly, and himself. These messages suggest that West had developed a dependency on nitrous oxide and was using it recreationally.
Yiannopoulos claims that Dr. Connelly, the dentist responsible for West’s high-profile dental work, played a significant role in facilitating the rapper's alleged addiction. The text exchanges suggest that West repeatedly asked for nitrous oxide, despite warnings from Yiannopoulos about the dangers of prolonged misuse. In one message, West allegedly inquired, "Can I have the Nitrous today?" which Connelly reportedly responded to positively.
The Role Of Dr. Thomas Connelly In The Scandal
Dr. Thomas Connelly, a dentist known for his work on Kanye West's custom $850,000 titanium teeth, has been thrust into the spotlight due to his alleged involvement in providing nitrous oxide to West for non-medical use. According to Milo Yiannopoulos, Connelly was not just a medical professional but also a facilitator of West's alleged addiction. In the texts shared by Yiannopoulos, Connelly appears to discuss plans to "master the delivery system" for recreational nitrous oxide, hinting at a long-term goal of legalizing the substance for non-medical purposes.
Yiannopoulos has since allegedly filed a complaint with the California Dental Board, accusing Connelly of being a "dangerous predator" who targets African-American celebrities. He alleges that Connelly was charging West $50,000 per month to supply him with nitrous oxide, which Yiannopoulos claims was part of a broader scheme to exploit West financially. Connelly's representatives have denied these allegations, calling them "factually incorrect" and "intentionally misleading." They also accused Yiannopoulos of fabricating the story to gain attention and harm Connelly's reputation. The dentist's alleged involvement in this scandal has raised ethical questions about the responsibilities of medical professionals and the potential consequences of crossing professional boundaries.
