Ye (fka Kanye West) has abandoned his plans to establish a pornography division of his Yeezy brand, following a series of controversies and opposition from key staff members.
Yeezy Porn plans reportedly scrapped
Recently, the Chicago artist made headlines with his announcement to expand the Yeezy brand into the adult film industry.
However, this initiative has now been shelved, per US media.
All social media posts related to Yeezy Porn on platforms such as X (formerly Twitter) and YouTube have been removed.
The backtrack appears to have been influenced heavily by internal opposition, particularly from Milo Yiannopoulos, Yeezy’s chief of staff, who has expressed severe concerns about the project.
Yiannopoulos, citing moral, religious, and personal health reasons, has been vocal about his disapproval, which has played a significant part in the reversal of Ye’s decision to venture into adult entertainment.
“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,” Yiannopoulos said.
What were Ye’s plans for Yeezy Porn?
Ye’s interest in creating a Yeezy pornography studio was not a secret.
His team confirmed that he had been considering this move for some time. Plans were advancing as Kanye and his partners engaged in serious discussions to set up the pornography division.
He had even reached out to Mike Moz, a veteran in the porn industry and the ex-husband of Stormy Daniels, to oversee the development of this new branch of Yeezy.
The initiative was intended to align with Kanye’s often provocative brand and personal aesthetic, which has prominently featured sexual content and fantasies.
Kanye West’s history with adult content
Ye’s fascination with pornography is well-documented and has been a recurring theme in his public and artistic expressions.
He has openly discussed his predilections in interviews and his music, often incorporating adult themes into his lyrics.
Kanye’s personal life, particularly his relationship with ex-wife Kim Kardashian, has also been marked by intersections with the adult entertainment world, notably when he has referenced their private life in his work.
More recently, with his partner Bianca Censori, Kanye has continued to embrace a sexually explicit aesthetic, frequently showcasing provocative images aligned with his artistic vision.
