Ye and Bianca Censori accuse a dentist in Beverly Hills of helping a rapper develop a nitrous gas addiction

Ye and his wife, Bianca Censori, are pursuing legal action against a dentist who they say caused the rapper’s nitrous gas addiction.

In a news statement, the pair accused Dr. Thomas Connelly of “medical malpractice, gross negligence, fraud, exploitation, [and] reckless administration of controlled and uncontrolled substances” and presented him with a formal notice of intent to sue. Connelly, they claim, charged Ye $50,000 a month for nitrous oxide, causing him to suffer from “neurological and physical injury,” “psychological and emotional trauma,” and “chemical dependency which required treatment.” According to the lawsuit, the “Jesus Walks” star started going to Connelly’s in 2024, and it was then that Connelly operated on Ye’s mouth by placing a custom titanium crown.

According to the announcement, Connelly “attempted to seize control of the Grammy winner’s global music and fashion brand, Yeezy LLC, while incapacitating its principal, Ye, with a cocktail of controlled and uncontrolled substances” in the spring of 2024.

Last August, Milo Yiannopoulos, Ye’s former representative, first revealed the addiction, saying, “Connelly got Ye hooked on nitrous, laughing gas.” I think that Connelly wanted to make Ye less intelligent so that he and his business partners could take millions of dollars out of him. Yiannopoulos went on to say, “Connelly was a dangerous predator who targets African-American celebrities, putting fake diamonds into their mouths.”

“Financial harm and economic losses, and loss of consortium” are among the other alleged damages included in the couple’s lawsuit.

According to California law, the defendant has ninety days from the date of the notice before a formal malpractice action can be brought. In the past, Connelly refuted the allegations, describing Yiannopoulos’ remarks as “factually incorrect” and “intentionally misleading.”
