Kanye West Ditches Yeezy Adult Studio Idea: What's Next for the Controversial Project?

Recent developments suggest that Kanye West has decided against moving forward with his idea to launch an adult entertainment company under the Yeezy brand.

It was brought to light by Kurrco on X, formerly Twitter, on May 7 that all content about the unveiling of Yeezy Porn has been removed from West's X account and YouTube channel.

A statement was issued by Milo Yiannopoulos, a far-right political figure and the current chief of staff for Yeezy, expressing strong disapproval of the proposed adult film project.

Yiannopoulos expressed concerns about the potential impact of the decision on both his well-being and personal journey, alluding to his experiences with previous challenges related to his sexuality and battles with addiction.

He wrote, "I cannot be complicit in the production or dissemination of pornographic films and literature, for moral and religious reasons."

"But also because such material and the kind of people invariably involved in its production represent an imminent danger to my life as a recovering addict and an unacceptable risk to my spiritual and physical health as a former homosexual."

Recently, news surfaced that West was considering the establishment of an adult production company as an extension of the adult entertainment sector within the Yeezy brand.

According to TMZ, discussions were underway with Mike Moz, the former husband of adult film actress Stormy Daniels, to assist in developing this new venture.

News of the impending release date for Yeezy Porn had been circulating, indicating a possible summer launch for the highly anticipated project.

Shortly following the initial report, West appeared to validate the information in a brief video snippet displaying the cryptic date "4 24 24" alongside a message emblazoned on a simple white backdrop, "YEEZY PORN IS CUMMING."

In the video, a woman was heard guiding the audience to visit his site, only to find a collection of exclusively Yeezy apparel. Following this unveiling, a wave of criticism flooded in, with numerous supporters urging a "return to Christ."

The rapper's potential step would mark a daring departure, considering his outspoken stance against adult content despite his open acknowledgment of its appeal. It's currently unknown what his next steps are after this.

During a conversation with Zane Lowe in 2019, before the launch of his gospel album Jesus Is King, he openly acknowledged struggling with a significant addiction to pornography.

"For me, Playboy was my gateway into full-on pornography addiction. My dad had a Playboy left out at age five, and it's affected almost every choice I made for the rest of my life," West said, per NME.

This comes after accusations arose claiming that West had been regular in exposing explicit material to Adidas staff members throughout their profitable collaboration on the Yeezy line, which included intimate videos involving himself and his former wife, Kim Kardashian.
