Kanye West Changes Name Again(Photo Credit –Instagram)

Kanye West changed his name to Ye back in 2021, and now, he’s taken it one step further. According to new California business records, the man once known for making Graduation and headlines now goes by Ye Ye. Yes, you read that right. That’s not a typo. That’s the name showing up on all his companies, from Yeezy Apparel to his record label and more.

Ye Ye Name Appears On Official Business Filings

According to Page Six, Kanye West’s chief financial officer, Hussain Lalani, handled the paperwork and filed it under the updated name. Before this switch, official documents listed him as Ye West. Now it’s Ye Ye everywhere.

Although the rapper hasn’t said a word about this latest name flip on social media, signs were already there. Earlier this month, he dropped a message on X...

Kanye West Faces Backlash For Saying He’s ‘The Master’ Of ‘Subservient’ Wife Bianca Censori
Image
Kanye West has ignited controversy by endorsing a social media post that described his wife, Bianca Censori, as his “subservient extension” and himself as her “master.” The reposted message, which included a photo of Censori in a revealing outfit, praised her for doing “whatever Ye tells her to do” without concern for others’ opinions. West added a black heart emoji to the post, signaling his approval.

This incident follows a pattern of provocative behavior from West. In February 2025, after Censori appeared in a completely sheer dress at the Grammy Awards, West declared he had “dominion over [his] wife” in a now-deleted social media rant. The incident drew widespread criticism, especially after West claimed it made Censori the “most Googled person on Earth.”

Despite public criticism, West’s spokesperson, Milo Yiannopoulos, defended the rapper, stating that Censori is the “guiding creative intelligence” behind her fashion choices. He acknowledged that West is the “final boss” in their relationship.

Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, claim in a new legal letter that a Beverly Hills dentist recklessly supplied West with “dangerous” amounts of nitrous gas, leading to a chemical dependency that caused neurological damage and “mood instability.”

New York-based lawyer Andrew Cherkasky says his firm outlined the couple’s claims in a letter sent to Dr. Thomas Connelly on Thursday. The letter informs the dentist that a malpractice lawsuit will be filed on behalf of the couple at the end of 90 days. “I can confirm we represent Ye and Bianca,...

Reunited Couple Kanye West and Bianca Censori Sue His Dentist for Malpractice, Providing Nitrous Oxide
Image
Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, are back together as a couple after an apparent split, their publicist confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter, and are preparing to sue the rap mogul’s former dentist for medical malpractice by supplying him with nitrous oxide and the intravenous anesthetic and sedative propofol, fraudulent billing, and multiple other alleged crimes.

In a formal notice of intent to initiate litigation sent to Dr. Thomas Connelly from Golden Law on Wednesday and signed by Andrew Cherkasky, the law firm’s president, the dentist’s alleged malpractice involving West is outlined in detail. Ye was a patient of Connelly starting in 2024 through earlier this year. During that time, he underwent various cosmetic procedures, including the placement of specialized prosthodontic work, a custom titanium crown and other cosmetic treatments. Connelly allegedly supplied the rapper with nitrous oxide and encouraged unsupervised self-administration while ignoring clear adverse neurological...

After Reports Of A Split, Kanye West & Bianca Censori Pose Together
Image
Shutting down rumors that the famous couple’s relationship is on the rocks, Kanye West posted a picture of himself and his wife, Bianca Censori, together.

The photo, posted to X on Tuesday, shows West and Censori positioned in front of a stone wall, showing off their outfits. In line with his usual drab attire, West donned an all-black ensemble, with leather pants and a jacket with the hood pulled up over his head. Censori stuck to her usual risque style, wearing black thigh-high boots and a silver corset bodysuit.

West’s post follows a sighting of the couple days before on April 18, when they were seen at the Indian fusion restaurant Cala d’Or in Spain’s Balearic Islands. Eyewitnesses reported that West and Censori were accompanied by a male friend for dinner, and the two did not engage in their usual uncomfortable degree of Pda, but regularly laughed and smiled throughout their meal.

Kanye West, 57, shared a nude photo of wife Bianca Censori on Instagram to promote her new film, which he produced.

“Im So Proud Of My Wife For Starring In Her First Feature Film Shot In Japan Directed By Vanessa Beecroft Produced By Me,” West wrote in the caption.

A source told The Post that the couple’s project is a “fashion film” with “multiple vignettes and montages” that center on Censori. “My description of it would be a fashion film of sorts. It’s this view into his [Kanye’s] vision of her – if we were to see her through his eyes,” the source said. “The calm and the chaos. It’s been Bianca-centric.”

West and Censori debuted the film at a L.A. warehouse on Saturday night, where a crowd gathered to watch the screening. Censori appears fully nude in one scene.

At the premiere, she arrived in an all-black, full-body covering,...

Bianca Censori’s alleged explicit messages to a Yeezy staffer before her marriage to Kanye West have surfaced, reigniting the firestorm surrounding the couple.

Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s marriage is already on shaky ground, and now new reports suggest that the controversial couple is heading for a divorce without a prenuptial agreement in place. According to TMZ, the duo has allegedly contacted divorce attorneys, raising the possibility of a messy financial battle, but an unexpected twist could leave Bianca owing money rather than receiving a payout.

Kanye West & Bianca Censori’s Messy Divorce With Unexpected Circumstances

Under California law, assets and debts are divided equally, and sources claim Kanye has actually lost money since their wedding, meaning Bianca might not walk away with the fortune many assume.

“What makes it even more intriguing, we’re told Kanye has actually lost money since he married Bianca,” the outlet claimed. “In California, assets and debts are split equally, so on the surface,...

Kanye West & Wife Bianca Censori’s Rep Denounces Reports Of Imminent Divorce Filing
Image
Amid reports that Kanye West and Bianca Censori are headed toward divorce, West’s long-time representative Milo Yiannopoulos has flatly denied the claims.

In the week following West and Censori’s controversial appearance at the 2025 Grammy’s on February 2, as well as West’s Feb. 7 offensive tirade on X, The Daily Mail reported that a source close to the rapper had revealed the couple was splitting up. TMZ added that both had contacted divorce attorneys in their article. Insiders also reported that Censori was set to receive a $5 million payout as part of their uncoupling.

However, on Thursday afternoon, Yiannopoulos told The Hollywood Reporter, “Ye and Bianca are in Los Angeles about to enjoy Valentine’s Day together. Announcements about their private life will come from them directly, not unsourced rumors in the tabloid press.”

He added, “Is this the fifth or is it the sixth time the press has...

Kanye West’s Representative Denounces Claims That Wife Bianca Censori Is ‘Battered’
Image
A representative for Kanye West has responded to the claims that West’s wife Bianca Censori is the recipient of abusive behavior from West.

West’s on-and-off representative Milo Yiannopoulos told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement, “The ‘battered Bianca’ narrative is hysterical and absurd…there is a person controlling what Bianca Censori wears. The name of that person is Bianca Censori.”

Yiannopoulos added that Censori is “the guiding creative intelligence and impetus behind the way she dresses,” and West is merely the “final boss” on her outfits.

Although Censori’s bodily autonomy in her relationship with West has long been in question, the debate grew louder last week when a video at the 2025 Grammys showed West pressuring Censori to undress on the red carpet.

Among a series of increasingly offensive tweets on Feb. 7 – which targeted Jews, the LGBTQ community, the disabled community, women and more – West declared in all caps,...

After half a week of using his X account to declare himself a Nazi, express his love for Adolf Hitler, denounce Jewish people, and post hardcore pornography, fallen rapper Kanye West appeared in a Super Bowl ad on Sunday evening.

Though the commercial did not run nationally — this year, the prized 30-second spots at that tier cost brands nearly $8 million — it ran in at least one major market, Los Angeles, which may alone have cost Ye more than $1 million. The spot finds him reclined in a dentist chair (a former associate,...

“Battered Bianca” Narrative Is “Absurd,” Says Rep of Kanye West and Wife

Bianca Censori and Kanye West’s longtime rep is attempting to clarify an aspect about their relationship.

A social media imposter, who has paid for verification, said on X on Super Bowl Sunday that the Australian model and designer at the Yeezy streetwear brand is the creative mind behind her headline-grabbing red carpet decisions — not her hip-hop and fashion mogul husband West, whose recent antisemitic social media tirade has culminated with his X account disappearing, while his brand’s website continues to promote the sale of one item: a T-shirt with an image of a swastika. (The image remained on sale at the time this story was published.)

Censori, the 30-year-old Head of Architecture at Yeezy, West’s successful apparel company, courted controversy at the Grammys on Feb. 2 by donning a long coat at her red carpet arrival, then dropping it to reveal a nearly nude look underneath consisting of...

Kanye West Drops Puzzling Yeezy Commercial During Super Bowl 2025

While the Super Bowl was filled with its usual slew of star-studded commercials, one stood out as the most confounding of the evening.

Rapper Kanye West, who has spent the past week posting hate-filled messages on X (formerly Twitter), appeared in a spot toward the end of the game for his fashion and shoe brand Yeezy. West was shown lying down at the dentist, shooting the spot on an iPhone front-facing camera, with sunglasses on.

“I spent like all the money for the commercial on these new teeth,” the rapper said, showing off his diamond-encrusted teeth. “Once again I had to shoot it on the iPhone. Um … Um … Go to Yeezy.com.” The site takes users to a page with clothes and shoes from the brand along with song snippets, CDs and vinyls.

On Sunday night, Yeezy’s website featured multiple products for sale, but on Monday it was updated...

Kanye West’s Bizarre Super Bowl Ad: Shot on an iPhone While Sitting in a Dentist Chair

Kanye West bought another local TV ad during the Super Bowl to promote his Yeezy fashion brand — and this time viewers in Los Angeles had a chance to see it.

The lo-fi ad, which West said was shot with an iPhone, directed viewers to his brand’s yeezy.com website. In the ad, West said he was sitting at the dentist. The ad wasn’t seen nationally, but was sold in at least one major local market, Los Angeles.

“So what’s up, guys, I spent, like all the money for the commercial on these new teeth. So once again, I had to shoot it on the iPhone,” he said. Then he stammered, “Um… um… go to yeezy.com.”

As of now, the self-proclaimed nazi’s website is promoting just one article of clothing — a t-shirt with a swastika on it.

Who Is Thomas P. Connelly? Kanye West’s Dentist Dubbed “Father of Diamond Dentistry” by the Rolling Stones

A New York-based cosmetic dentist, Dr. Thomas P. Connelly is gaining ‘street cred.’ Having designed Ye’s $850,000 titanium mouthpiece that the hip-hop artist unveiled in January, Connelly’s no stranger to glitter – both in the clinic and the celebrity world. The dentist’s high-end clientele boasts the likes of Post Malone and DaBaby.

Connelly’s niche involves crafting custom, diamond-encrusted dental work—you might not know it, but you have seen it. Having rappers on board like Kanye West and Lil Yachty, however, has come with certain high-end costs.

After weeks of private conversations with Kanye West, who lost many of his lucrative deals following his anti-Semitic remarks in 2022, Donald Trump invited the rapper to his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida. While this dinner was meant to be uneventful, in which Trump intended to lend some advice to Ye after his controversies, West wasn’t alone in visiting Trump at Mar-a-Lago club for a dinner.

Kim Kardashian Demands ‘Urgent Sit-Down’ Meeting With Kanye West & Wife Bianca Censori About Their Behavior Around Her Kids

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian has reportedly grown increasingly concerned about the environment her four children are exposed to when they spend time with their father Kanye West, as well as his new wife, Bianca Censori.

According to sources close to the reality star, the 43-year-old is troubled by the stories she is hearing about her ex and fears that the “environment” is no longer suitable for the younger children – North, 11, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6 and Psalm, 5 – to be in.

The communication between Kardashian and West is primarily facilitated through nannies, Kris Jenner or their legal representatives, but North regularly sends her mother pictures and videos from her time with her father. This has prompted Kardashian to express a desire for an urgent “sit-down meeting” with both West and Censori to discuss co-parenting and establish new ground rules.

Kanye West Victim Of Nitrous Oxide Addiction?

A recent legal affidavit filed by Milo Yiannopoulos, Kanye West‘s former chief of staff, has raised serious allegations against West’s dentist, Thomas P. Connelly.

According to the affidavit, Yiannopoulos claims that Connelly has actively supplied and encouraged West’s use of nitrous oxide, or “laughing gas,” despite being aware of West’s psychological vulnerabilities and the potential for exploitation.

The affidavit alleges that Connelly continued to provide the gas to West even after the occurrence of “distressing symptoms” that led to concern. It is further claimed that Connelly charged West more than $50,000 per month for this service and provided instruction on the operation of the nitrous gas canisters, which were left in West’s home.

Kanye West Faces Lawsuit Over Alleged Forced Labor, Allegedly Called Workers ‘Slaves’

Kanye West is facing a lawsuit alleging labor violations and the creation of a hostile work environment for both adult and minor employees, according to court documents filed in a U.S. district court.

The lawsuit, which names West and his former chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, as defendants, claims that the rapper hired a group of developers, including minors as young as 14, to create an app called “Yzyvsn.” The app was reportedly intended to promote West’s music, including his albums Vultures and Vultures 2, without paying for promotion on established platforms like Tidal, Spotify and Apple Music.

Plaintiffs allege West and Yiannopoulos forced employees to work long hours without pay or adequate rest. The suit also claims that white managers used derogatory language toward foreign and minority workers, referring to some as “slaves” and “new slaves,” creating a hostile work environment based on age, race, gender, sexual orientation and national origin.

Kanye West, the most popular rapper who somehow manages to always find himself in the headlines is facing a mountain of lawsuits. From sexual harassment claims to berating employees, Kanye’s erratic behavior has landed him in big trouble. While the legal troubles are not new for the rapper, the recent batch of lawsuits comes in the wake of his antisemitic and anti-Black remarks made in October 2022. Notably, the recent allegations include bullying employees and exposing staff, including pornography to minors. Although Kanye hasn’t responded to any of the allegations, here are the lawsuits against the rapper.

Yeezy Employees v. Kanye West and Milo Yiannopoulos

On June 29, 2024, Kanye West was sued by a group of former employees who accused him and former chief of staff Milo Yiannopoulos of “fostering a racist environment” and forcing employees to work “insanely long hours.

New Lawsuit Claims Bianca Censori Sent Adult Material To Underage Yeezy Employees

In a new lawsuit, Bianca Censori has been accused of sending adult material to husband Kanye West‘s company’s staff members, including employees who are still minors.

The 29-year-old model allegedly sent a Yeezy employee a link to “hardcore” content after West announced the launch of Yeezy adult content vertical in April. The videos were accessible to all staffers, including those under the age of 18, according to court documents.

Censori, however, was not named in the California lawsuit. Instead, the anecdote served to demonstrate the problematic workplace culture at West’s Yzyvsn streaming service app.

“No guardrails were put in place to prevent the underage Yzyvsn workers from working on Yeezy Porn, or to prevent themselves from being exposed to and being forced to view pornography to perform their work,” the lawsuit says.

The filing alleges that West engaged in “forced labor and cruel inhuman, or degrading treatment” and...

Kanye West and Milo Yiannopoulos are being accused of engaging in “forced labor and cruel inhuman, or degrading treatment” toward the team brought on to create the app that the rapper-mogul hoped would compete with Tidal and other streaming players, according to a lawsuit filed this weekend in Los Angeles.

The lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California states that West and Yeezy LLC, West’s company, hired developers who had created the Yzyvsn streaming service app. For the release of his Vultures project with Ty Dolla $ign, the controversial pop culture player and Yeezy intended to promote the project on the new platform, which fans had made to work with the artist. According to the lawsuit, West intended the app to help him avoid paying promotional fees to Tidal, Apple Music and other streamers.

According to TMZ, the filing was by developers hired to work on West’s Yzyvsn streaming service app, which he wanted to use to promote his new albums, “Vultures” and “Vultures 2.”

They were reportedly promised $120,000 in pay if they “completed the app.”

However, they were later forced to sign nondisclosure agreements under the threat of losing their jobs and not being paid. Meanwhile, some employees who were minors were required to sign “volunteer” agreements. Those indicated they would receive no pay for their work.

The developers mostly worked on the app remotely, staying in touch via Slack and other tools. They were trying to meet a May 1, 2024 deadline for completing the app.

When they asked for their pay,...

Milo Yiannopoulos Resigns as Yeezy Chief of Staff Amid Ye Porn Plans
Image
Milo Yiannopoulos is parting ways with Ye (formerly Kanye West). The ex-Breitbart editor, who had been serving as Yeezy’s chief of staff, revealed his exit to TMZ on Wednesday.

“I wish Ye every success in the future,” he told the outlet. “I have some concerns about his new team and hope he proceeds with caution.”

Yiannopoulos also shared with TMZ his letter of resignation, in which he wrote that he “cannot be complicit in the production or dissemination of pornographic films and literature, for moral and religious reasons. He added that “such material and the kind of people invariably involved in its production represent an imminent danger to my life as a recovering addict and an unacceptable risk to my spiritual and physical health as a former homosexual.”

He also noted on his resignation letter that he was delivering an “orderly handover” by Friday, May 31 or “the first pornography shoot,...

Kanye West & Yeezy Chief Of Staff Milo Yiannopoulos Part Ways Over Creation Of Adult Film Division
Image
Milo Yiannopoulos, the chief of staff at Kanye West’s company, Yeezy, is no longer employed at the clothing brand.

This development comes amid a reported mass exodus of Yeezy leaders and a new direction for the embattled rapper’s business.

Yiannopoulos, 39, a far-right British commentator, confirmed the development in a statement and wished West “every success in the future.” However, he expressed concerns about West’s “new team.” Multiple insiders with direct knowledge have revealed that several Yeezy leaders have recently departed the company, though the exact reasons behind these departures remain unclear.

One major factor contributing to Yiannopoulos’ exit is the reported plans to launch a pornographic division within Yeezy. In his resignation letter, Yiannopoulos stated that he had “zero interest in being associated with adult entertainment” due to moral and religious reasons and cited concerns about the potential risks of being “an imminent danger to my life...

Milo Yiannopoulos Parts Ways With Kanye West Over Yeezy Porn Plan
Image
Milo Yiannopoulos is out at Yeezy, Rolling Stone has confirmed. The alt-right provocateur allegedly had a falling out with Kanye West over the rapper’s decision to get into the porn business.

Yiannopoulos, whom West tapped to run his dubious 2024 presidential campaign last year, announced he resigned as the rapper’s chief of staff on Wednesday in an email obtained by TMZ. “I cannot be complicit in the production of dissemination of pornographic films and literature, for moral and religious reasons,” Yiannopoulos wrote. “But also because of such material and...

Kanye West Raps ‘How I’m Antisemitic?’ a Year After Praising Nazis
Image
Following an antisemitic blitz in late 2022, Kanye West returned to radio with new track “Vultures” and appeared to double down on his controversial statements.

The song, which features Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Durk and Bump J., premiered Friday night on Wpwx Power 92 Chicago. More than halfway through the song, West raps, “How I’m antisemitic, I just fucked a Jewish bitch.” The track has not yet been officially released on streaming platforms.

Last year, sources told Rolling Stone that West spoke of his admiration for Hitler during the making of The College Dropout,...

Kanye West Drops Out of 2024 Presidential Race
Image
Bad news for those expecting Kanye West to follow through with his 2024 run for president: The rapper’s own attorney has confirmed that the campaign is over before it really got off the ground.

“He’s not a candidate for office in 2024,” Ye’s attorney Bruce Marks told Rolling Stone. An unnamed source also said the likelihood of a presidential bid is “beyond remote,” with another adding, “There’s no campaign structure or anything along those lines in place.”

West announced his 2024 run in November 2022, and briefly enlisted Milo Yiannopoulos as his campaign manager before firing the alt-right provocateur less than one month in. Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes took command of West’s political team until May, when Yiannopoulos came back into power and proclaimed himself the “director of political operations” of “YE24.”

However, an October filing with the Federal Election Commission by West’s political committee, Kanye 2020, no longer lists Yiannopoulos on its payroll.

Kanye is ‘Not a Candidate in 2024,’ His Lawyer Says
Image
YE24, we hardly knew ye. The prospect of a Kanye West presidential run this election cycle appears dead. Ye’s personal attorney Bruce Marks, who is advising the wind-down of the rapper’s campaign apparatus, tells Rolling Stone: “He’s not a candidate for office in 2024.”

Evidence of the decision not to pursue a presidential bid is reflected in the October Federal Election Commission filing by Ye’s political committee, Kanye 2020, which steered Ye’s oddball presidential bid three years ago and was used by the rapper to test the waters for a 2024 run.

Alex Jones Claims His Kanye West Interview Was a ‘Setup’

Alex Jones has a new conspiracy theory: That his infamous interview of Kanye West, where Ye declared his love for Hitler, was an elaborate “setup” — orchestrated by “eugenicist super Nazis” who control the “New World Order.”

Jones made the bizarre declaration during an InfoWars broadcast last week. Jones — a tireless conspiracy theorist who insists that freedom loving Americans are under assault — declared that Kanye West had been turned into a pawn by a tyrannical elite whose dark ambitions make “Hitler look like a lightweight.”

Jones made the pivot to Kanye,...

Kanye Treasurer Warned of ‘Hostile’ Workplace, Illegal Demands in Resignation Letter

Campaign shakeups are rarely pretty. But the return of Milo Yiannopoulos to Kanye West’s incipient 2024 campaign is already spurring accusations of illegal behavior and a “hostile workplace.”

Patrick Krason was — until this week — the treasurer for Kanye 2020, the federal committee that had run the rapper’s quixotic 2020 presidential bid, and is still being used to ramp up a potential repeat run in ‘24. Krason resigned Monday in a 3-page letter to Kanye, first reported on by Politico. Rolling Stone has obtained a copy, and Krason validated its authenticity.

‘Gross Negligence’: Mtg Camp Blasts Yiannopoulos for Kanye Website Fiasco

The revelation that Kanye West campaign insider Milo Yiannopoulos charged the Marjorie Taylor Green congressional campaign $7,000 for the purchase of Ye24.com — the website of the Nazi-loving rapper’s prospective 2024 presidential campaign — is rotten news for the Maga lawmaker from Georgia.

Wednesday morning, Greene sent out a statement from her consultant Isaiah Wartman, whose credit card Yiannopoulos used to buy Ye24.com: “Congresswoman Greene knew nothing about the gross negligence made by a vendor and is being unfairly attacked as a result,” Wartman said. “The campaign was told the purchase was refunded.

Kanye West’s Presidential Campaign Treasurer Resigns, Suggesting Milo Yiannopoulous Made ‘Serious Criminal Transactions’
Image
Kanye West’s presidential campaign treasurer, Patrick Krason, resigned charging that the campaign made “unlawful” transactions.

Krason wrote two letters for his resignation on Monday. One letter informed the Federal Election Commission of his resignation as West’s treasurer. The other letter, addressed to West, accuses Milo Yiannopoulos, a top campaign advisor, of having possibly violated federal financial laws.

Krason wrote in the letter to West that Yiannopoulos “submitted falsified invoices and for expenditures that would be deemed unlawful” in November 2022. Krason also noted that he learned of a “potentially serious criminal transaction” that was made during the Kanye 2020 campaign.

Also in the letter to West, Krason referenced an expense for a digital asset where Yiannopoulos asked for reimbursement from both the Kanye 2020 campaign and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s campaign.

Yiannopoulos has since denied the allegations made against him.

In that same letter, Krason also claimed that Yiannopoulos was...

‘It’s Like F-cking Mean Girls’: Yiannopoulos Return Roils Kanye’s 2024 Campaign

The return of alt-right troll Milo Yiannopoulos to Kanye West’s political team may be more sizzle than substance.

Yiannopoulos made a splash Thursday, insisting he’d been reinstated to the campaign as its “director of political operations,” and confirming that he was the author of a leaked email to Nick Fuentes purporting to “terminate” the white supremacist from any official role on the nascent Ye24 campaign.

But a source inside the campaign tells Rolling Stone that the takeover Yiannopoulos is boasting about is “fake news” — or at least greatly exaggerated.

Here’s Who Kanye West Just Picked to Manage His Campaign

If you thought there was a chance Kanye West was done associating with the far-right’s bottom-of-the-barrel personalities, dispel the notion from your mind. Despite having previously fired right-wing sleezebag Milo Yiannopoulos from his pseudo-presidential “campaign,” Ye has brought him back into the fold to serve as manager for his election run.

Among his first tasks as reinstated Ye sidekick, Yiannopoulos fired West’s white nationalist advisor Nick Fuentes via email, originally posted by TMZ, and verified by Rolling Stone.

Kanye West Rehires Far-Right ‘Troll’ Milo Yiannopoulos in Run-Up to Presidential Bid

Kanye West has rehired noxious right wing troll Milo Yiannopoulos to help him with his 2024 presidential bid. In turn, Yiannopoulos has fired white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes and political advisor Ali Alexander in an email, Rolling Stone confirmed Thursday.

“As you may know, I have been in Los Angeles for the past week with Ye, discussing his presidential aspirations,” Yiannopoulos wrote in an email to Fuentes posted on gossip site TMZ. “The result of those discussions is that I will be taking the reins once again as director of his political operations.

He added, “I don’t know if it was voluntary or was it somebody fired, but I think Tucker has been terrific. Especially over the last year or so he’s terrific to me.

Stop the Steal Founder Ali Alexander Apologizes Amid Allegations of Texting Teens

Stop the Steal activist Ali Alexander has released an apology after being accused of making unwanted sexual advances and demands of young men in his political orbit. His longtime ally, the white supremacist Nick Fuentes, told listeners of his podcast that Alexander is “bowing out of public life.”

“I apologize for any inappropriate messages sent over the years. Forgive me,” Alexander wrote in a statement posted to his Telegram channel. He referred to “battling Ssa” — which appears to be an acronym for same-sex attraction — and insisted he’d “repented before God.

Kanye’s Campaign Has Paid Holocaust Denier Nick Fuentes More Than $30,000 This Year

Kanye West’s presidential campaign claimed more than $30,000 in payments to white nationalist Nick Fuentes in its latest Federal Election Commission (Fec) filing. Fuentes first burst onto the alt-right scene following the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va.

The 2023 payments to Fuentes came in January and February when the campaign gave him $20,000 for “archival services” and another $10,296.96 for “travel reimbursement.” According to the Anti-Defamation League, Fuentes is a “white supremacist leader, organizer and podcaster who seeks to forge a white nationalist alternative to the mainstream GOP.”

Kanye’s 2024 Brain Trust Booted From Twitter (Again)

The Twitter accounts of Stop the Steal organizer Ali Alexander and white nationalist Nick Fuentes were suspended from the platform on Wednesday. The pair have been advising Kanye West, now known as Ye, as the rapper weighs his 2024 presidential campaign amid a torrent of antisemitism. Alexander and Fuentes now join their political hero in rare company, as right wingers who have been reinstated to Elon Musk’s Twitter only to promptly get re-banned.

Fuentes was suspended from the platform less than 24 hours after having a previous permanent ban lifted from his account.

The Year Everyone Realized They Were Wrong About Taylor Swift vs. Kanye West

What do you recall about the feud between Kanye West and Taylor Swift? Maybe something about a misogynistic lyric in West’s 2016 song “Famous,” or Swift’s subtle-but-scathing swipe at the line at that year’s Grammys — or, later, Kim Kardashian’s claims that the track had Swift’s prior approval. Surely the snake emojis ring a bell — there were lots of snake emojis. If the specifics have gone fuzzy, the general contours seemed clear to many observers at the time: Taylor Swift did something bad.

Milo Yiannopoulos has been released from his position on Kanye West’s 2024 presidential campaign, The Daily Beast reported.

“Ye and I have come to the mutual conclusion that I should step away from his political team,” Yiannopoulos wrote on his Telegram account on Sunday. “Ye is a genius whom I have come to love and respect. We remain friends. I will continue to pray for Ye and all his endeavors.”

Yiannopoulos, whom the Anti-Defamation League describes as a “misogynistic, racist, xenophobic, transphobic troll,” was West’s informal campaign manager and...
