Milo Yiannopoulos, the former chief of staff who resigned from Yeezy in May, recently made a series of allegations against Kanye West's dentist, Thomas P. Connelly, and his current chief of staff, Eric J Cui. In one of the tweets, Milo even revealed some text messages with Eric, in which the latter had written that he was closer to Drake's team.

In the tweet posted on August 8, 2024, Milo spoke about Eric and mentioned that the latter apparently wrote,

"I'm much closer to [Drake]'s team than Ye… the NICEST crew out of anyone in hiphop… I remember the first time he had beef with Ye… I went to Drake's house and helped all his boys sell their Yeezys."

Milo further claimed Eric and Connelly were responsible for making Kanye West addicted to nitrous. However, Eric later responded to the allegations and claimed he never used the substance and that he never suggested anybody to do it either. Milo reposted Eric's response and tweeted:

"That's confusing, given these statements today. I wonder what the truth is: His verbally incontinent private bragging at the time to whoever would listen? Or today's frantic, desperate damage control? I think we all know. GUILTY."

Milo also claimed that he already mentioned every detail to the federal agencies and the district attorney.


Kanye West's former chief of staff, Milo, made several allegations against Ye's dentist and current chief of staff

Kanye West's former employee, Milo Yiannopoulos, made it to the headlines after posting a series of tweets accusing Ye of being high on nitrous. In the same series, he further accused Eric and Connelly of allegedly ensuring that Ye continues using the substance.

Milo claimed that Eric had been trying to keep Kanye West hooked on nitrous so he could make significant changes to the business. The former chief of staff claimed that even the current staff at Yeezy have expressed concerns about West's alleged addiction.

In his affidavit filing, Milo pointed out similarities between "West's widely-reported bipolar diagnosis and the side effects of prolonged nitrous gas abuse." The former chief of staff further gave details about the similarities, which included "erratic behavior, mood swings, paranoia, and violence."

Milo went on to claim in the tweets that he knew things were allegedly going wrong and tried to stop it. In another tweet, he wrote,

"Earlier this year, I uncovered the fraud and intervened. Ye, hooked on nitrous, blew up our relationship on purpose by proposing something he knew I'd have to resign over (because I had told him so): the resurrection of his longtime idle fantasy of making p*rn."

Milo Yiannopoulos's tweets have gone viral with several views. Along with Eric, Kanye West's dentist had also responded to his claims. Connelly spoke to TMZ and claimed the allegations against him were untrue and "misleading."


Kanye West has yet to respond to the allegations against Thomas P. Connelly and Eric J Cui.
