How much was Milo Yiannopoulos paid as Yeezy's chief of staff? Former staffer claims he saved Kanye West $30M by firing 130 people

Milo Yiannopoulos has recently filed a legal affidavit throwing some serious allegations on Kanye West's celebrity dentist, Thomas P. Connelly. Yiannopoulos was Kanye's former chief of staff who left the job in May and has accused Dr. Connelly of supplying Kanye with the mind-altering nitrous oxide gas despite being aware of the 'psychological vulnerabilities' of the rapper.

In a recent tweet (posted on August 9), Milo revealed that he was paid $720,000 per year by Kanye's company after being promoted in January to the position of chief of staff. The affidavit further stated that the company was bringing in no money and was almost $200 million in debt.

This prompted Milo Yiannopoulos to take drastic measures and he fired "130 unnecessary people" to save the company over $30 million in the first month of his new position. In the tweet, he also alleged that his new plan would effectively save the company between $40-$50 million in travel costs alone in the year 2024.

Milo Yiannopoulos also noted several points of cash drain in the registers of Kanye's organization due to fraudulent practices, greed, double billing, and other careless methods. The 39-year-old imposed strict financial constraints and initiated a paradigm shift in the workings of the company to better balance the cash registers and get the company out of the giant debt.

Milo Yiannopoulos's affidavit accuses celebrity dentist Thomas P. Connelly of providing nitrous oxide to Kanye West despite knowing about his addiction and psychological issues. The affidavit also claims that Connelly charged $50,000 per month and continued to supply the gas even though Kanye showed clear signs of distress from its prolonged use.

Also known as 'hippy crack' or the laughing gas, nitrous oxide is an addictive drug that can alter the psychological state of a person and induce feelings of euphoria. According to the filed affidavit, Kanye's staff members grew increasingly aware and concerned because of his addiction to the gas and he would always be seen in a gas mask. Furthermore, he would not make much sense while taking it as his words started becoming 'incomprehensible and contradictory.'

According to Milo Yiannopoulos, another complaint has also been filed with the California Dental Board against Kanye's dentist. There, he accuses him of "reckless, unethical, dishonest, explorative and, upon information and belief, illegal conduct."

The legal affidavit further states that Kanye West's widely-reported bipolar characteristics are very similar to the side effects of prolonged nitrous oxide use and the symptoms range from erratic behavior, violence, anxiety, paranoia, and incessant mood swings.

Milo Yiannopoulos further claimed that the doctor physically transported four canisters of the gas to Kanye's home one afternoon. However, Milo didn't release any personal medical records of Ye and also didn't explicitly mention Kanye in the series of allegations made against the dentist.

"[Dr. Connelly] knowingly encouraged their use in the absence of a qualified anesthesia or medical professional by a person with history of mental illness and addiction,'" stated the affidavit.

The former chief of staff also accused the dentist of taking several million dollars by exploiting the patient's confused mental state and vulnerabilities. Furthermore, he revealed that Dr. Connelly moved into the patient's home and started living with him at the patient's expense to supply him with the gas to "keep an eye on him."

Milo first met Dr. Connelly when he was introduced to him as the celebrity dentist who assisted and designed Kanye West's titanium prosthodontics. According to a report by Dailymail.com, the procedure set Kanye back by $850,000.
