AceShowbiz - Kanye West allegedly has stopped consuming nitrous gas. If a new report is to be believed, the "Vultures" rapper is no longer using the laughing gas as he wants to focus on his album.
Making the claims was Adam22. He wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, "I have been informed by an insider that Kanye has quit the nitrous. And has been very focused on music for the last few months."
Ye did recently tease a new single, "Preacher Man", last month. The former husband of Kim Kardashian was also rumored to be working on a new solo album titled "Bully".
Meanwhile, the nitrous allegations first came from Ye's former chief of staff Milo Yiannopoulos, who claimed in August that Ye's dentist Thomas P. Connelly provided him with excessive amounts of nitrous oxide for recreational use.
According to a legal affidavit filed by Yiannopoulos, Connelly exploited Ye's "psychological vulnerabilities" despite being aware of his addiction to nitrous oxide, also known as "laughing gas" or "hippy crack." The affidavit alleged that Connelly charged Ye over $50,000 per month for supplying "enormous quantities" of the gas.
According to the legal documents, Yeezy staff members expressed concerns about the "Gold Digger" rapper's growing dependence on the gas, observing him wearing an inhaler mask continuously. The affidavit pointed out that prolonged nitrous oxide use can produce symptoms similar to Ye's bipolar diagnosis, including mood swings, paranoia and impaired communication.
In response to the allegations, Connelly's representative quickly shut down the accusations. Speaking to TMZ, the rep dismissed them as "not only factually incorrect but also intentionally misleading" and insisted that Connelly's team maintains that he adheres to ethical and legal standards. The rep also accused Yiannopoulos of fabricating claims for attention and attempting to harm Connelly's reputation.
