The hashtag "SaveYe" is trending on social media as fans rally in support of Kanye West following disturbing reports about his health.
On August 7, 2024, Milo Yiannopoulos, who served as Kanye West's chief of staff from 2022 to early 2024, alleged that Ye's recent inactivity in music and fashion is due to several issues, the most serious of which involves his dentist, Thomas Connelly.
Yiannopoulos claimed that Kanye is addicted to nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas.
According to ADF, inhaling nitrous oxide can be deadly if insufficient oxygen is inhaled, and it can cause feelings of detachment from one's body, making it hazardous to use.
The revelation about West's alleged addiction has prompted a wave of concern and support from fans on social media platform X.
One user wrote, "If you're a real Ye fan, get him off nitrous. It would be sad to see a goat fall to a horrible addiction. People die and are permanently f**ked up because of nitrous. #SaveYe."
Another user commented, "It's f**king depressing seeing one of my favorite artists falling off because his dentist is supplying him with a drug that's killing him. #SaveYe."
Yiannopoulos further accused Connelly of exploiting West by supplying the gas to "extract millions of dollars" from him.
"Connelly got Ye hooked on nitrous—laughing gas. It is my belief that Connelly sought to diminish Ye's mental faculties so that Connelly and his business associates could extract millions of dollars from him,"
Yiannopoulos stated on X. He also filed a complaint with the California Dental Board, calling Connelly a "dangerous predator" who targets African-American celebrities.
In response, Thomas Connelly denied the allegations, calling them factually incorrect and intentionally misleading.
Connelly stated, "Yiannopoulos's claims are not only factually incorrect but also intentionally misleading," and affirmed his dedication to providing the highest standard of care for his patients.
As the #SaveYe movement continues to build momentum, Kanye West has yet to address the claims of his alleged nitrous oxide addiction.
