Milo Yiannopoulos Parts Ways With Kanye West Over Yeezy Porn Plan

Milo Yiannopoulos Parts Ways With Kanye West Over Yeezy Porn Plan

Milo Yiannopoulos is out at Yeezy, Rolling Stone has confirmed. The alt-right provocateur allegedly had a falling out with Kanye West over the rapper’s decision to get into the porn business. 

Yiannopoulos, whom West tapped to run his dubious 2024 presidential campaign last year, announced he resigned as the rapper’s chief of staff on Wednesday in an email obtained by TMZ. “I cannot be complicit in the production of dissemination of pornographic films and literature, for moral and religious reasons,” Yiannopoulos wrote. “But also because of 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.”


However, Yiannopoulos noted it would be “an honor” to return to West’s team if he abandons his plans to enter into the adult entertainment business. Rolling Stone has contacted Yiannopoulos for further comment, although his Yeezy email address responds with the automated message: “I AM NO LONGER WITH YEEZY.”   

A source close to the situation claims that around 20 other Yeezy employees have also left the brand because of West’s other alleged personal issues. “Porn was the slightest of factors,” they say. (Rolling Stone has contacted a representative for West for comment.)

Despite his recent condemnations of pornography, last month West tweeted “Yeezy Porn Is Cumming” after reports emerged that he was partnering with Stormy Daniels’ porn producer ex-husband Mike Moz. A source tells Rolling Stone they doubt any plans will come to fruition because West will allegedly struggle to launch a new venture without a team behind him. 

West already has his hands full with a host of problems at his private Christian school, Donda Academy, after a number of teachers have sued him over their terminations and alleged safety concerns at the facility.

NOFX to Detail Chaotic History in New Documentary ’40 Years of F-ckin’ Up’

NOFX are about to get inside your head — all over again. The punk band have announced the release of a feature length documentary, titled 40 Years of Fuckin’ Up, that will detail their storied history as drug-addled teen punks-turned-icons.

On Friday, founding member Fat Mike revealed that 40 Years of Fuckin’ Up is in post production while at The Punk Rock Museum’s NOFX exhibition. “Most people wouldn’t be OK with releasing a film that shows footage of getting whipped in their dungeon, or their drug use for the past 20 years, or dressing up like a rubber cheap whore, or the ambulance ride when they were naked while puking and shitting blood… I’m not like most people,” Fat Mike said in a statement.

Bad Bunny Promises ‘The World Will Dance’ at His Super Bowl Performance

Everyone on the planet may smell like stale Budweiser and crumbled Fritos while watching the Super Bowl, but Bad Bunny doesn’t care. In a new trailer for his halftime show performance, he’s making a promise: “The world will dance.”

The clip shows the artist wandering through a surrealistic neon landscape (it’s Puerto Rico, note the Flamboyant tree), until he pulls up his own song using Apple Music on his iPhone (ibid) to play “Baille Inovidable.” The cover art for the single is just a couple of lawn chairs with nobody in them in a similarly colorful landscape, but that’s neither here nor there because in this world, the world in which everybody will dance, dancers spin like tops out of the darkness one by one to shake Bad Bunny from his stoicism as soon as he cranks his own song on Apple Music. Soon, he’s dancing (and smiling), too.

Julio Iglesias responds to abuse accusations

Julio Iglesias, the crooner who introduced Latin music to audiences around the world, is accused by two former employees of sexual misconduct, rape, and human trafficking.

The two women, who worked respectively as a physiotherapist and a domestic worker, allege that the abuse took place in 2021 over a ten-month period at Iglesias’ properties in the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic. According to their testimonies, the singer allegedly subjected them to “sexual harassment, regularly searched their mobile phones, restricted their ability to leave the home where they worked, and required them to work up to 16 hours a day without days off.”

Mitski Will Channel ‘Grey Gardens’ and ‘Hill House’ on Her Next Album, ‘Nothing’s About to Happen to Me’

Mitski is teasing the release of her eighth studio album, Nothing’s About to Happen to Me, with a mysterious phone number and website. When you ring the Pecos, Texas-based line, you won’t find any musical snippets — just Mitski reading a quote from Shirley Jackson’s chilling 1959 horror classic, The Haunting of Hill House. “No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality,” she says. “Even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream.”

That phantasmagoric quote sets the tone of Mitski’s next record, which is out Feb. 27 via Dead Oceans. It’s a “rich narrative whose main character is a reclusive woman in an unkempt house. Outside of her home, she is a deviant; inside of her home, she is free,” according to the press release, which is purposely scant on the details — although the phone website features texts that reference white cats, pies, and Grey Gardens, the iconic documentary about a mother and daughter named Edie and their reclusive, glamorously decaying life.

Tom Cochrane: the long road to rock history

Tom Cochrane is a name that resonates in the history of Canadian rock. For several generations, he’s embodied both the raw energy of Red Rider’s early years and the powerful emotion of his solo career. Just mentioning Lunatic Fringe or Life is a Highway instantly brings fans’ collective memory back to those moments when music seemed capable of changing everything. Cochrane’s sensitivity as a songwriter and discipline as a seasoned live performer, have earned him eight Juno Awards, the Order of Canada, and an induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.

His journey—and that of Red Rider—is marked by determination and a distinctly Canadian spirit. From their first shows in bars across Eastern Canada, the band learned to navigate a sometimes hostile environment. “I remember a show in Québec where the owner sabotaged our concert by unplugging the amps while we were playing. At the end of the week, he put a gun on the table when we asked for our pay,” Cochrane recalls. These formative experiences taught him resilience and resourcefulness, qualities that would prove useful throughout his career.
