Ye’s Chief of Staff at his Yeezy imprint is reportedly opting to exit stage left amid the hip-hop mogul’s transition into the porn industry.
Milo Yiannopoulos is stepping away from his leadership role at Yeezy ahead of the launch of Yeezy Porn, TMZ reports. In a resignation letter shared with the outlet, Yiannopoulos explains how the shift to pornographic material poses “an imminent danger to my life as a recovering addict and an unacceptable risk to my spiritual and physical health as a former homosexual.”
The British far-right political commentator helped helm the ship at Yeezy for two years. However, with Ye teaming up with Stormy Daniels’ ex Mike Moz to create Yeezy Porn, Yiannopoulos is choosing to leave the company before things get X-rated.
“I wish Ye every success in the future. I have some concerns about his new team, and hope he proceeds with caution,” he says.
In his resignation letter, Yiannopoulos expressed his openness to return to Yeezy in the future, if the company “publicly and permanently abandons any plan to produce, distribute, or profit from obscene content.”
“It would be an honor to serve you again,” he wrote.
