Kanye West's ex-chief of staff gives bombshell explanation for the rapper's 'self-destruction' as he levels shocking claims against 'celebrity dentist' who installed his $850,000 golden grills

Kanye West's former chief of staff Milo Yiannopoulos has made a number of sharp allegations aimed at the rapper and his dentist, Thomas P. Connelly, in a legal affidavit.

Yiannopoulos, 44, who quit working for West in May, said in the affidavit that he worked for the Grammy-winning artist, 47, 'between 2022 and 2024' as his chief of staff, in which his job duties consisted of 'solving mysteries and fixing problems where others have failed.'

Yiannopoulos said in the affidavit that in addition to West, he has also worked for Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and 'a series of wealthy individuals in Florida,' backing up what he claims is 'a respectable track record exposing fraud, theft and ill intent of every kind.'

Yiannopoulos said the affidavit was in tandem with a complaint he filed with the California Dental Board accusing Connelly of 'reckless, unethical, dishonest, explorative and, upon information and belief, illegal conduct. '

Yiannopoulos said in the affidavit that he was 'motivated by urgent concern' for West's health and safety' in both his own capacity of himself and 'on behalf of several individuals close to him.'

Yiannopoulos said in the affidavit that he went through the 'additional and unusual step of providing' a 'sworn "jurat" affidavit, which he said comes under a penalty of perjury'; and that all materials have been forwarded to the Attorney General's office and the FBI.

Yiannopoulos said he is 'not in a position to authorize the release' of West's medical records and wouldn't 'presume to do so without his consent,' and did not explicitly name West in an immediate series of allegations he raised against Connelly in the affidavit. (West was seen in a Reddit post three months ago with a mask on with the caption, 'Ye on nitrous.')

Yiannopoulos said the affidavit 'pertains to actions of Connelly' that includes 'the unlawful supply of enormous quantities of nitrous gas to a wealthy, famous patient for explicitly recreational use' as well as 'the physical transportation of four surgical size canisters by Connelly himself into the patient’s home on just one afternoon.'

Yiannopoulos said that Connelly charged 'more than $50,000 per month for the service' and continued 'to supply the gas along after the emergence of distressing symptoms that led to widespread comment and concern.'

Connelly provided 'instruction to the patient in the operation of nitrous gas canisters' he left 'at the patient’s home' and 'knowingly encouraged their use in the absence of a qualified anesthesia or medical professional by a person with history of mental illness and addiction,' Yiannopoulos said in the affidavit.

Yiannopoulos said in the affidavit that Connelly abandoned 'said patient' to the 'self-destructive consequences of dependence, showing indifference or worse to the prospect of permanent damage and brain or body.'

Yiannopoulos said in the affidavit that based on what he knows and believes, Connelly was 'fraudulent' in taking 'millions of dollars ... from a patient he knew to be in a confused, dependent, weakened and addicted state.'

Yiannopoulos said in the affidavit that Connelly moved 'into the patient’s apartment building, at the patient’s own expense, so as to 'better keep an eye on him.'

Yiannopoulos said in the affidavit that he had been promoted in January and saw that West's organization was $200 million in the red while taking in no income, and 'placed the business into emergency measures' by terminating more than 130 people in his first month.

Yiannopoulos said that in February and March, he 'devised and deployed strict spending protocols, travel polices, limits on expenses and other financial controls' to keep the books balanced better, and located millions of dollars in wasted monies due to reasons ranging from fraud to greed to double billing to redundancies.

Yiannopoulos said in the affidavit that it was in this capacity he crossed paths with Connelly, who was introduced to him 'as the dentist who assisted Ye in the design and installation' of his 'much admired titanium prosthodontics' which Dailymail.com reported cost $850,000 this past January.

Connelly is a "celebrity dentist" who both has famous clients and is also seeking notoriety for himself in his dental practice, which involves the implementation of diamonds on some occasions, Yiannopoulos said in the affidavit. He noted that Connelly was profiled in a January 2024 piece for the New York Times.

Connelly had presented 'himself as a well-connected, successful entrepreneur' and had 'supplied West with advisors ... who demanded gigantic sums for their services' while proposing 'widespread and disruptive changes' to West's business structure, Yiannopoulos said in the affidavit.

Yiannopoulos said in the affidavit that it became clear to him that West's 'growing dependence of nitrous gas, and not Connelly's business expertise' was what Connelly was relying on 'to seal the deal.'

Yiannopoulos said in the affidavit that this past April, Yeezy employees 'were worrying about' West's dependence on the gas and speaking openly about it,' with West himself talking 'about it non-stop in meetings.'

West 'seemed to be in an out of the inhaler mask on a near-constant basis' and his communications 'were becoming incomprehensible and contradictory,' Yiannopoulos said in the affidavit.

Yiannopoulos said in the affidavit that a number of Yeezy employees had expressed concerns about seeing 'four large surgical tanks of nitrous oxide into Bianca Censori's apartment' and Connelly said that the cannisters were empty and had always been.

Yiannopoulos said in the affidavit that the symptoms of West's 'widely-reported bipolar diagnosis and the side effects of prolonged nitrous gas abuse are strikingly similar,' with symptoms including 'erratic behavior, mood swings, paranoia and violence.'

Yiannopoulos said in the affidavit that a Yeezy employee told him that they had witnessed West 'self-administering the nitrous gas provided by Connelly.'

Yiannopoulos said in the affidavit that he felt Connelly was 'aware' of West's 'psychological vulnerabilities' and believed he 'sought to exploit them.'

Yiannopoulos said in the affidavit that he felt federal law enforcement should be dispatched to deal with the aforementioned issues, and that Connelly's license should be suspended.
