The alt-right figure then added that “such material and the types of people invariably involved in its production pose an immediate danger to my life as a recovering addict.”
Yiannopoulos further wrote that involvement in the creation of pornography “would pose an unacceptable risk to my physical and spiritual life as a former homosexual.”
The political commentator then claimed that he would “ensure an orderly transfer or the first pornographic filming on May 31, 2024, whichever comes first.”
He concluded by writing that it would be “an honor to serve.” [West] againâ as long as Yeezy âpublicly and permanently refrains from any plans to produce, distribute or profit from obscene content.â
Yiannopoulos previously worked with the rapper on his ultimately unsuccessful and infamous 2024 presidential campaign.
The political figure claimed he facilitated the meeting between West, former President Donald Trump and far-right figure Nick Fuentes, which took place in November 2022.
Multiple sources also spoke to TMZ and claimed that numerous senior executives at Yeezy had left the company in recent weeks.
It was not clear whether West’s plans to start a porn studio were the reason for the alleged departure.

News of the rapper’s planned venture into adult films was first reported by TMZ last month, when it was revealed that he had teamed up with industry veteran and Stormy Daniels’ ex-husband, Mike Moz.
It was also reported that Yeezy’s porn studio could possibly launch sometime this summer.
Moz then spoke to TMZ to confirm that he had begun discussions with West about Yeezy’s entry into the adult film business.
‘The idea that this project will become another porn studio is not correct. It will be something we have never seen before,â he said.
