Kanye West’s Alleged Nitrous Oxide Supplier Denies Milo Yiannopoulos’ Accusations

by

Recently, Kanye West’s former chief of staff Milo Yiannopoulos made some shocking claims about the Chicago-born artist’s dentist, Thomas P. Connelly. In an affidavit for a complaint against Connelly, Yiannopoulos accused Connelly of supplying Ye with “enormous quantities of nitrous gas” for “explicitly recreational use.” Reportedly, he also expressed concern for Ye’s wellbeing, citing his alleged “dependence” on the substance.

Yiannopoulos even accused Connelly of accepting upwards of $50K per month in exchange for the substance, despite seeing signs of Ye’s alleged addiction. According to him, Ye discussed nitrous oxide frequently, leading to unpredictable and worrisome behavior.

Now, Connelly has addressed the allegations, denying them and slamming Yiannopoulos in the process. He told TMZ that the claims are “not only factually incorrect but also intentionally misleading,” and accuses Yiannopoulos of making them up simply for attention. Connelly also alleges that Yiannopoulos was trying to intentionally damage his reputation. His affidavit was filed with the Dental Board of California in an attempt to get Connelly’s license suspended. Connelly’s team adds that he sticks to all ethical and legal standards, and doesn’t plan on putting his career on hold despite these unfounded claims.

While Yiannopoulos’ allegations are still unconfirmed, Ye himself has admitted to some substance use, telling Candace Owens back in 2022 that he was drunk during his infamous antisemitic Twitter spree. Specifically, he said he was sipping on Hennessy. The conservative commentator published the interview earlier today, which is expectedly full of many more wild moments. What do you think of Ye’s dentist, Thomas P. Connelly, denying Milo Yiannopoulos’ recent allegations? What about Yiannopoulos accusing him of providing Ye with “enormous quantities” of nitrous gas?

Nelly had been basking in good news over the past year-plus. The iconic St. Louis rapper reconciled with Ashanti, with whom he had a high-profile relationship in the early 2000s, and they may or may not be married. In April, Ashanti did publicly confirm that she and Nelly are expecting their first child together.

But it’s not all roses.

As first reported by KRCG, Nelly was arrested around 4:45 a.m. on Wednesday morning, August 7, in the St. Louis, Missouri area.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol later confirmed details to TMZ, as excerpted below:

“The agency has a gaming division, with troopers stationed at the Hollywood Casino in St. Charles. Nelly was asked to show his ID to police and his info was run for verification in accordance with Missouri Gaming Commission regulations.

Police found Nelly had an active warrant for no insurance from a previous traffic stop conducted by Maryland Heights Police. Nelly was arrested for the active warrant, and he was searched. That’s when four ecstasy pills were found on his person, according to the Highway Patrol.

Nelly was booked for felony drug possession and on a warrant for no vehicle insurance.”

TMZ additionally reported that Nelly was “booked at the Maryland Heights Police Department,” and he has been released. Nelly’s mugshot can be seen within TMZ’s report.

As of this writing, Nelly has not publicly commented on the matter.

Lil Wayne Proudly Rocks XO Chain Amidst Drake And The Weeknd Beef

by

Lil Wayne has had beef before. The rapper went as JAY-Z multiple times in the 00s. He also squabbled with Pusha T and the rest of the Star Trak crew around the same time. In recent years, though, Weezy F. Baby has preferred to keep the peace. He’s cool with everybody not named Birdman. This approach has been most evident in 2024, when his protege Drake went to war with the rest of the superstars in the rap game. Lil Wayne has maintained support for Drake without getting too involved. The rapper’s recent style move, however, has some fans scratching their head.

Lil Wayne appeared in the music video for Jon Baptiste’s “Uneasy.” The rapper can be shirt playing the guitar while rocking multiple chains. Nothing too out of the ordinary, as Rebirth fans know. The Weeknd recently posted a screenshot from the 2023 music video, though, and highlighted a crucial detail. Weezy is rocking an XO chain in the video, which is in reference to The Weeknd’s label of the same name. The rapper is showing love to the XO crew, even though they’ve been embroiled in a beef with Drake for the better part of a year.

Lil Wayne Was Recently Accused Of Dissing Drake

Some fans have noted that the video dropped last August, but the decision to rock XO was still a bold one a year ago. Lil Wayne knows the situation between Drake and The Weeknd. The Canadian stars have been sniping at each other for the better part of a decade. Drake and The Weeknd even fired shots at each other on the songs “Family Matters” and “All to Myself,” respectively. What makes the situation even stranger is that Lil Wayne himself was accused of dissing Drake on a new Cordae song.

Wayne dropped a stellar guest verse on Cordae’s “Saturday Mornings.” The Young Money boss throws a few digs at a rapper, and calls them “sweet” like a Teddy Graham. Fans immediately seized on these bars and tied them back to Drake. It isn’t hard to see why. Drake’s surname is Graham, and if there’s a rapper who has been called “sweet” more often than the 6 God, we haven’t heard of him. The diss theory went away pretty quickly, but Lil Wayne did not clarify who he was talking about on the song. Is there Young Money beef brewing? Or do you think Weezy is simply showing love to another Canadian?

Charlamagne Tha God Claims Drake’s 100 GB Drop Is Part Of An Album Rollout

by

Drake is doing the most right now. The rapper revealed a second Instagram account with memes aimed at other rappers. He also dropped a staggering 100 GB’s of new and unreleased material. Fans are still sifting through it all, but Charlamagne Tha God sees the bigger picture. At least, he claims to see it. The radio personality hopped on The Breakfast Club on Wednesday and theorized that Drake’s drop is much more calculated than it seems. He also claimed that the new material is in service of an upcoming album.

Charlamagne tha God felt that Drake failed to play to his strengths by staging a seemingly “organic” drop. Given what the radio host, and the public writ large, knows about Drizzy, everything he does is planned out. “That’s the issue, right. Drake just doing stuff,” Charlamagne Tha God explained. “There’s no direction to it. He’s trying to make it look organic, like it’s nothing, like it’s effortless.” Especially, in Charlamagne’s opinion, when the endgame is so apparent. He feels like Drake is trying to gage public interest in him after the disastrous Kendrick Lamar battle. “This is clearly a rollout,” the host explained. “He’s putting his toe in the water. He wants to see how people feel about him.”

Charlamagne Tha God Thinks Drake Is Gaging Fan Interest

Charlamagne tha God has a point when it comes to Drake “just doing stuff.” The Toronto rapper has been teasing lots of different projects throughout July. So many, in fact, it’s hard to keep track. He has unreleased songs with Conductor Williams in the stash. He has the trio of songs he just dropped with Young Thug, Latto, and 21 Savage. Drizzy also has a joint album with PARTYNEXTDOOR set for release in the fall. Not enough? How about a rumored European tour that riffs on Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” diss. In his 100 GB drop, the 6 God posted merch emblazoned with the title “No One Likes Us 2024.”

Charlamagne tha God assured Drake that the fans will be receptive. “Drake, you’re fine,” he stated on the air. “Today, you are you.” This is not the first time the radio host had kind words for Drizzy. Despite labeling him the loser of the Kendrick Lamar battle, Charlamagne though Drake did a great job. “This, to me, has been the best rap battle I’ve ever witnessed,” he said back in May. “I mean, the two best of their generation, in their prime. I’ve never seen a rap battle give us this much music.” Time will tell if the rollout prediction proves true.

Lauryn Hill Shared An Explanation For The ‘Difficult’ Decision To Cancel Her North American Tour

by

Earlier today, Lauryn Hill canceled the entire US leg of The Miseducation Anniversary Tour. After several hours of speculation, Hill offered an explanation by way of a statement on her Instagram. She explained that low ticket sales were to blame for the last-minute cancelation (the tour was set to begin this Friday, August 9), but blamed the low ticket sales on media coverage of the injury that forced her to postpone the tour late last year. Hill had announced the new dates, supported by her son YG Marley, in June, but perhaps the turnaround for those dates was just too quick. You can see the full statement below.

With difficulty, the decision was made to pull down our upcoming North American tour dates.

The shows in the UK and Europe ARE MOVING FORWARD as planned.

Last year, I faced an injury that necessitated the rescheduling of some of my shows. Regrettably, some media outlet’s penchant for sensationalism and clickbait headlines have seemingly created a narrative that has affected ticket sales for the North American portion of the tour. The trust and faith I have in my intentions and my commitment to my art seem to have been overshadowed by this unfortunate portrayal.

The audiences in the UK and Europe not only haven’t seen the Miseducation Anniversary performance yet, they also haven’t seen the Fugees perform together in over 25 years!

Performing for my fans, is a profound exchange of energy and emotion that excites me every time. Every show is a piece of my expression and testament to our connection and shared love for music. I can assure you that no one is more disappointed about not being able to perform than I am.

Know that I am not only grateful for those who appreciate and support my art, but that I FIGHT and push through all kinds of resistance to put together experiences that mean something for all of us. I love being able to bring these performances to you!

I appreciate your understanding. We’re looking forward to performing at the shows in the UK and Europe in October — and for our fans in North America, when these unforeseen circumstances are resolved, we’ll be back in full force…

With Love, Respect and Honesty,
MLH
