Update (August 8):
A spokesperson for Dr. Thomas P. Connelly issued the following statement to XXL, refuting Milo Yiannopoulos’ claims:
“Dr. Thomas P. Connelly categorically denies all of the false allegations made by Milo Yiannopoulos in his affidavit. Mr. Yiannopoulos admitted in the same affidavit that he made the allegations out of a personal grievance Not only is the narrative inconsistent with the facts, Dr. Connelly has never engaged in any reckless, unethical, or illegal behavior, nor has he ever endangered the health and safety of any patient.
Mr. Yiannopoulos, a self-confessed provocateur with a history of attention-seeking behavior, created a narrative that was not only factually incorrect but maliciously intended to damage Dr. Connelly’s professional reputation. His accusations are completely baseless and lack any credible evidence. As a licensed dental professional, Dr. Connelly adheres to all ethical and legal standards and any accusations to the contrary are without merit.
Dr. Connelly remains committed to providing the highest standards of care to all patients and will continue to do so despite these baseless attacks on his character and professional conduct.
Original story (August 8)
Ye’s former chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, claims a dentist got Ye the rapper hooked on nitrous oxide.
Milo claims Ye is addicted to nitrous
On Wednesday (August 7), Minogue launched into a tirade against his former employer on .
“There’s a reason Ye (née Kanye West) can no longer successfully release music or clothing,” Minogue’s first tweet began. The entire rant can be seen below. “Actually, there are several reasons. But the most serious and recent one is his dentist Thomas Connally… Connery got Ye hooked on laughing gas. I believe Connery was trying to weaken Ye’s intelligence in order to Connery and his business partners could extract millions of dollars from him.
Milo claims he discovered the situation months ago and tried to stop it.
“Earlier this year, I discovered the fraud and intervened,” he continued. “Ye was addicted to nitrous and deliberately sabotaged our relationship by suggesting something he knew I had to resign from (because I had told him): the resurgence of his long-standing idle porn-making fantasy.”
Ye announced that he will launch an adult film studio in April. The following month, Milo parted ways with Ye over a planned joint venture.
Milo went on to claim that he filed a complaint with the Dental Board of California regarding Connelly’s alleged conduct. He also named current Yeezy chief of staff Eric Cui as conspiring with Connelly to get Yeezy to take the bait.
Milo added: “I have a personal vendetta against Choi, although I think it’s sad that Ye prefers to surround himself with people who are incompetent and don’t challenge him.” “I hate Eric because of Eric Grams did his best in this sinister and horrific affair, and because of his collusion with the dentist.”
Since Minogue made his statement, videos have continued to surface showing Ye wearing a respirator and using nitrous. In the clip below, Ye shouts out to boxer Ryan Garcia, noting, “I’m drinking nitrogen.”

Eric Cui responded to Milo’s statement
Eric Cui also responded to Milo’s accusations.
“Why every day of my life is the craziest thing ever,” he wrote on Instagram Stories on Wednesday night. “LMAO Why is there a fan fic about me and a fucking dentist of all people?[?]”
In another post, he added, “I don’t like dealing with trolls. Forget that the unemployed have unlimited free time. 25.5 hours left. Work not done yet.”
