Kanye West‘s ex-Chief of Staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, has been accused of lying about having left the rapper’s company, YZY.
In a post made on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday (May 16), YesJulz — another former employee of Ye’s who is currently facing her own legal battle against his company — quoted Rolling Stone‘s report about the provocateur’s departure from the company, claiming that they were merely parroting claims from his PR team.

“Did you guys not think to verify this information with anyone at YZY before believing Milo, or whatever publicist he got to take him on as a client?” she said. “(Would love their email btw, I’m in need of some positive SEO clean up [laughing face emoji]) So wild. I actually liked Rolling Stone too.”
She then posted a screenshot of a purported group chat between herself and other members of the YZY organization, in which Ye reportedly texts her, “Milo is still doing things on behalf of the company after I fired him.”

On Wednesday (May 15), it was reported that Ye and Yiannopoulos parted ways due to the latter’s objection to the aborted “Yeezy porn” project.
“I wish Ye every success in the future. I have some concerns about his new team, and hope he proceeds with caution,” Milo said in a statement to TMZ.
The controversial figure first expressed his concerns with Yeezy Porn earlier this month. Yiannopoulos described the move as dangerous to his “spiritual and physical health,” citing his past homosexuality and addiction struggles.
“I cannot be complicit in the production or dissemination of pornographic films and literature, for moral and religious reasons,” he wrote at the time.

“But also, because such material and the kind of people invariably involved in its production represent an imminent danger to my life as a recovering addict and an unacceptable risk to my spiritual and physical health as a former homosexual.”
The resignation was part of a “mass exodus at the company,” according to the outlet.
