Kanye West Cuts Ties With Milo Yiannopoulos Following His Deportation From the United States
Kanye West has officially severed ties with his former publicist, Milo Yiannopoulos, following the publicist's deportation from the United States. Yiannopoulos, who served as a chief of staff and managed legal affairs for the rapper, was arrested at New Orleans International Airport on August 27 and deported on August 28. Kanye West reportedly no longer trusts Yiannopoulos, who allegedly overstayed his visa and failed to appear for a July immigration hearing. The rapper has asked his team to review Yiannopoulos's previous work to ensure all legal requirements were met. While Yiannopoulos has described his arrest as a chaotic and politically motivated process, the administration announced that he was deported because he broke the country's laws and failed to show up for his proceedings. The Department of Homeland Security disputed Yiannopoulos's claims of harsh treatment, stating he was provided with food, medical care, and a phone call. Yiannopoulos, a former supporter of President Trump, has now become a critic of the administration's actions and plans to appeal his removal from the country.
