Celebrity Dentist Got Kanye Hooked on Laughing Gas, Milo Yiannopoulos Claims

Kanye West is facing claims he has become dependent on nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas—so much that he has huge tanks of it in his apartment, allegedly supplied by a dentist to the stars.

The claims emerged in the wake of a bitter break-up between West, who now goes by Ye, and the former chief of staff at his Yeezy brand, the notorious far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos.

Yiannopoulos made the allegations in a lengthy series of posts online Wednesday and what he claims is a sworn affidavit, which he said was made under penalty of perjury.

The drug, used during medical procedures as an anesthetic and for pain management, is also commonly used recreationally and provides users with a brief high when inhaled.

There is a reason Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, is no longer capable of successfully releasing music or clothing,” Yiannopoulos opened his thread on X Wednesday. “In fact, there are several reasons. But the most serious and the most recent is his dentist, Thomas Connelly.”

In the affidavit, the former Breitbart editor said Connelly should have his license revoked and be investigated for illegally supplying Ye with the nitrous oxide.

Yiannopoulos also alleged that Connelly charged Ye up to $50,000 a month for his services, “continuing to supply the gas long after the emergence of distressing symptoms that led to widespread comment and concern.”

An attorney for Connelly told the Daily Beast in an email: “we categorically deny all the false allegations made by Milo Yiannopoulos in his affidavit.”
