British commentator and Kanye West's ex-chief of staff Milo Yiannopoulos recently mentioned in his X (formerly Twitter) post on August 14, 2024, that dentist Thomas Connelly wanted nitrous oxide to be legalized as a recreational drug. Earlier this month, Milo alleged that Kanye West's dentist Thomas was the reason the rapper was using nitrous oxide recreationally.
In his X post, Milo Yiannopoulos shared a video comprising screenshots wherein Thomas Connelly refers to nitrous oxide and mentions:
"This needs to be a long term goal: get recreational nitrous legalized. Meanwhile we master the delivery system with a 2 year headstart."
Milo posted the screenshots as a response to Thomas denying the claims that Kanye's ex-chief of staff levied against him. Milo Yiannopoulos wrote in the tweet:
"I’ve been made aware of a denial circulated to journalists by Thomas Connelly, the Doctor Death of Dentistry, by his rep Ted Anastasiou of Arctus Group. Explain this, then, doc."
"Thomas Connelly agrees to deliver recreational nitrous oxide to his heavily addicted patient Ye" - Milo alleges in the tweet
On August 7, 2024, Milo Yiannopoulos took to X and alleged that Kanye's dentist Thomas Connelly was getting the rapper addicted to nitrous oxide to hinder Kanye's mental faculties. So that his business associates could extract millions from the rapper. Milo also claimed that Ye's dentist offered the gas in exchange for taking up to $50K every month.
Milo Yiannopoulos filed an affidavit with the Dental Board of California in an attempt to get Thomas' license suspended. Additionally, Milo posted another X post on August 14, 2024, referring to Thomas denying his claims.
His tweet consisted of a screenshot showing Kanye West asking for nitrous oxide at this Chateau Marmont residence. Milo posted:
"PROOF: Thomas Connelly agrees to deliver recreational nitrous oxide to his heavily addicted patient Ye at the latter’s then-residence, Chateau Marmont—the site of dozens of celebrity overdoses and suicides."
However, Thomas Connelly refuted Milo's claims through his spokesperson to TMZ on August 7, 2024, wherein he called Milo's narrative "factually incorrect but also intentionally misleading."
Moreover, the dentist's representative told the publication that Ye's former chief of staff was making up the claims for attention. Also attempting to cause malicious damage to Thomas's reputation in the process.
The dentist's representative ended the statement by stating that Thomas Connelly adheres to all legal and ethical standards and that he is committed to offering the highest standard of care to his patients. The statement mentioned that Thomas will continue ethical practice despite Milo's "unfounded attacks on his character and professional conduct".
Moreover, an attorney for Kanye's dentist told the Daily Beast via email in an August 8 report, that they were categorically denying "all the false allegations made by Milo Yiannopoulos in his affidavit.” The attorney mentioned:
“Mr. Yiannopoulos, who has admitted in the same affidavit to being motivated by personal grievances, has presented a narrative that is not only factually incorrect but also intentionally misleading. Dr. Connelly has never engaged in any reckless, unethical, or illegal conduct, nor has he ever endangered the health and safety of any of his patients.”
In addition to his claims about Thomas, Milo Yiannopoulos alleged that he talked to multiple employees of Kanye West and mentioned that five employees expressed concerns for the rapper's well-being given he has a nitrous installation at this residence.
