Ye's former chief of staff reportedly provided more "proof" that the rapper's dentist provided nitrous oxide for recreational use.
On Wednesday, August 13, Milo Yiannopoulos shared an alleged screenshot of a text exchange between the rapper formerly known as Kanye West and his dentist Dr. Thomas P. Connelly. Dr. Connelly appears to vouch for the legalization of recreational use of nitrous oxide in a group text between Ye and Yiannopoulos.
“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," Yiannopoulos wrote in his post on X.
"This needs to be a longterm goal: get recreational Nitrous legalized," Connelly allegedly wrote in the group chat. "Meanwhile we master the delivery system with a 2 year headstart."
"Can I have Nitrus today," Ye allegedly responded. "Tom you said you'd bring them by today Checking in."
"Are you at chateau?" Dr. Connelly seemingly replied. "Yes Can do."
Yiannopoulos recently submitted a sworn affidavit to the California Dental Board in an effort to get Dr. Connelly's license revoked. In it, he accused the celebrity dentist of selling "enormous quantities of nitrous gas" to Ye for recreational use. He allegedly charged Ye over $50,000 a month for the service and continued to provide the laughing gas even after Ye allegedly showed symptoms like addiction and incoherence. A rep for Dr. Connelly vehemently denied the allegations and asserted Yiannopoulos made the claims to damage his reputation.
As of this report, Ye has not responded to the allegations against Dr. Connelly.
