The chief of staff for Kanye West’s Yeezy brand, Milo Yiannopoulos, has officially quit, according to a Wednesday report from TMZ.
The right-wing political commentator, 39, spoke to the media to confirm his separation from the company.
He stated that he wished the 46-year-old rapper “all the best in the future.”
The media figure also noted that he would be leaving the company due to “concerns about” [West’s] new team’ and that he hoped the artist would ‘proceed with caution’ in the future.
Yiannopoulous provided TMZ with a copy of his resignation letter, in which he wrote that he did not want to be involved with West’s new Yeezy Porn venture.
Yiannopoulos wrote that he “could not, for moral and religious reasons, be complicit in the production and distribution of pornographic films and literature.”

The alt-right figure then added that “such material and the types of people invariably involved in its production pose an immediate danger to my life as a recovering addict.”
Yiannopoulos further wrote that involvement in the creation of pornography “would pose an unacceptable risk to my physical and spiritual life as a former homosexual.”
The political commentator then claimed that he would “ensure an orderly transfer or the first pornographic filming on May 31, 2024, whichever comes first.”
He concluded by writing that it would be “an honor to serve.” [West] again” as long as Yeezy “publicly and permanently refrains from any plans to produce, distribute or profit from obscene content.”
Yiannopoulos previously worked with the rapper on his ultimately unsuccessful and infamous 2024 presidential campaign.
The political figure claimed he facilitated the meeting between West, former President Donald Trump and far-right figure Nick Fuentes, which took place in November 2022.
Multiple sources also spoke to TMZ and claimed that numerous senior executives at Yeezy had left the company in recent weeks.
It was not clear whether West’s plans to start a porn studio were the reason for the alleged departure.

News of the rapper’s planned venture into adult films was first reported by TMZ last month, when it was revealed that he had teamed up with industry veteran and Stormy Daniels’ ex-husband, Mike Moz.
It was also reported that Yeezy’s porn studio could possibly launch sometime this summer.
Moz then spoke to TMZ to confirm that he had begun discussions with West about Yeezy’s entry into the adult film business.
‘The idea that this project will become another porn studio is not correct. It will be something we have never seen before,” he said.
West’s ex-wife is Kim Kardashian, and together they have four children
