Milo Yiannopoulos, a significant figure in Yeezy affairs for nearly two years, has officially announced his departure from the enterprise owned by Ye, formerly known as Kanye West. 

In an interview with TMZ, Yiannopoulos expressed his well wishes for West's future endeavors while also voicing concerns about the composition of West's new team, urging caution. 

The specifics of West's new team remain uncertain, as the company often experiences fluctuations. However, Yiannopoulos' departure is evidently linked to more than just personnel changes.

Providing TMZ with a copy of his resignation letter, Yiannopoulos outlined his principled opposition to the establishment of "Yeezy Porn." 

He articulated moral and religious objections to involvement in the production and dissemination of pornographic material, citing personal vulnerabilities as a recovering addict and former homosexual. 

Despite his resignation, Yiannopoulos left the door open for a potential return to West's service if the pornographic venture is abandoned.

The reported discussions between West and Mike Moz, Stormy Daniels' ex, regarding the creation of a new pornographic enterprise add further context. 

Yiannopoulos's resignation indicates his unwillingness to be associated with such a venture, should it materialize.

Yiannopoulos's departure is not an isolated incident within Yeezy. 

Multiple sources with insider knowledge revealed to TMZ that several key figures within the company's leadership have departed in recent weeks. 

The reasons behind these resignations remain unclear, with speculation suggesting they may be related to the pornographic venture or other issues.

The developments at Yeezy prompt anticipation regarding Kanye West's next strategic moves, particularly with the introduction of new staff members. 

Despite efforts to obtain a response from Yeezy, there has been no official comment as of yet.
