Kanye West is reportedly launching his own porn company, but one of his highest-ranking employees isn’t happy with the venture.
Far-right political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos, who serves as Yeezy’s chief of staff, wrote a letter on Wednesday (May 1) stating his opposition to Ye’s planned adult film brand, Yeezy Porn.
Yiannopoulos described the move as dangerous to his “spiritual and physical health,” citing his past homosexuality and addiction struggles.
“I cannot be complicit in the production or dissemination of pornographic films and literature, for moral and religious reasons,” he wrote.
“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.”
The letter can be seen in full below.

News of Kanye West launching his own porn company first surfaced in April.
TMZ reported that Ye is planning to launch a Yeezy Porn studio, which would be part of “a broader adult entertainment division” in his existing Yeezy empire.
The outlet claimed that Kanye was in talks with Mike Moz, the ex-husband of porn star Stormy Daniels who is a veteran in the business himself, to help him get the brand up and running.
As for the launch date, it was reported that Yeezy Porn could make its debut as early as this summer.
Soon after, Kanye appeared to confirm the reports by posting a short clip that read: “YEEZY PORN IS CUMMING.”
The video also featured the voice of a woman directing viewers to his website, Yeezy.com, although no adult content was to be found — only clothes and music.
There are still doubts that Yeezy Porn is actually an adult film company, with speculation suggesting it could just be the name of an upcoming women’s clothing brand.
