The hints that the controversial rapper â who now goes by the name Ye â would be turning his sights to the porn industry arose last month, when TMZ reported that a representative for West had got in touch and claimed that a âYeezy Porn Studioâ was on the horizon.
According to the report, the rapper was âdead setâ to get the business off the ground, and was in âadvanced talksâ with new business partner Mike Moz, who is a porn producer and the ex-husband of Stormy Daniels.
Shortly afterwards, the artist took to social media to confirm the rumours â posting a six-second clip on X that read âYeezy Porn Is Cummingâ, while a female voice appeared over the top, telling viewers to âgo to yeezy.com.â
Fuel was then added to the fire when Yeâs reported new business partner Mike Moz revealed that he had been working with the musician to create something âlike nothing weâve ever seen beforeâ.
âIâve been having discussions with Ye about a potential collab between Yeezy brand and my team at Vixen Media Group. While itâs too early to give any details Iâm excited about where Yeâs vision takes this,” he said (as per Hot New Hip Hop). “The idea that this project is going to be another porn studio is not correct. It will be like nothing weâve ever seen before.â

Now, it seems like the plans for the company may have been scrapped, as all posts about the endeavour have been taken down.
Shortly after posting the teaser clip on X (formerly Twitter), Ye went on to deactivate his account after a wave of backlash. A second post about the studios that was shared on his official YouTube page was removed shortly afterwards.
The rapper has yet to comment on the future of âYeezy Pornâ and whether or not he still plans to move forward with plans to open a company in the adult entertainment industry. That being said outlets such as Kurrco have shared claims that âKanye has reportedly abandoned the idea of launching ‘YZY P*RN.’
NME has reached out to the rapperâs representatives for comment.
The potential venture into the adult entertainment industry comes following the rapper being candid about his struggle with porn addiction in recent years.
Back in 2019, he spoke about the topic ahead of the release of âJesus Is Kingâ. During an interview, West acknowledged the extent of his âfull-on pornography addictionâ and said he was overcoming it thanks to his belief in God.
He also came forward in 2022 and claimed that his pornography addiction âdestroyed my familyâ (via Page Six).

More recently, the musician made headlines after he and his current partner Bianca Censori were reportedly âbanned for lifeâ after indecent exposure on a Venice boat.
In other Kanye West news, it was recently reported that the rapper and business mogul is being sued for racial discrimination by one of his former security guards.
In the filing, the former employee alleged that the artist subjected his Black employees to âless favourable treatment than their White counterpartsâ, and People reported that the lawsuit also claims that Ye âfrequently screamed at and berated Black employeesâ, and ultimately fired Provo for refusing to cut his dreadlocks.
The rapper did not respond to NMEâs request for comment about the lawsuit.
Elsewhere, his last album was âVultures 1â, which he released with Ty Dolla $ign. The LP was given a two-star review by NME, and criticised for its âdegrading lyrics and messy mixesâ. Shortly after its release, Ye said that its follow-up âVultures 2â was delayed and hinted that he would not be releasing the two remaining LPs from the trilogy on streaming platforms.
