The Chief of Staff of Kanye West‘s Yeezy brand, Milo Yiannopoulos, has officially quit, according to a Wednesday report from TMZ.
The right-wing political commentator, 39, spoke to the media outlet in order to confirm his split from the company.
He stated that he wished the 46-year-old rapper ‘every success in the future.’
The media figure also remarked that he would be leaving the company over ‘concerns about [West’s] new team’ and that he hoped the performer ‘proceeds with caution’ in the future.
Yiannopoulous provided TMZ with a copy of his resignation letter, in which he wrote that he did not want to be involved with West’s new Yeezy Porn venture.
Yiannopoulos wrote that he could not be ‘complicit in the production and dissemination of pornographic films and literature for moral and religious reasons.’

The alt-right figure then added that ‘such material and the kind of people invariably involved in its production represent an imminent danger to my life as a recovering addict.’
Yiannopoulos went on to write that being involved of the creation of pornography would present ‘an unacceptable risk to my physical and spiritual life as a former homosexual.’
The political commentator then claimed that he would ‘deliver an orderly handover by May 31, 2024, or the first pornography shoot, whichever is sooner.’
He concluded by writing that it would be ‘an honor to serve [West] again’ as long as Yeezy ‘publicly and permanently abandons any plans to produce, distribute or profit from obscene content.’
Yiannopoulos formerly worked with the rapper on his ultimately unsuccessful and infamous 2024 presidential campaign.
The political figure claimed that he facilitated the meeting between West, former president Donald Trump and far-right figure Nick Fuentes, which took place in November of 2022.
Multiple source also spoke to TMZ and claimed that numerous higher-ups at Yeezy had departed the company in recent weeks.
It was not clear if West’s plans to launch a pornography studio were the reason for the alleged departures.

News about the rapper’s planned venture into adult films was first reported by TMZ last month, when it was revealed that he had been working with industry veteran and Stormy Daniels’ ex-husband, Mike Moz.
It was also reported that Yeezy’s porn studio could potentially launch sometime in the summer.
Moz subsequently spoke to TMZ to confirm that he had begun discussions with West regarding Yeezy’s entry into the adult film world.
‘The idea that this project is going to be another porn studio is not correct. It will be like nothing we’ve ever seen before,’ he said.
West’s ex-wife is Kim Kardashian, and together they have four children
