Kanye West has deleted his social media accounts just 24 hours after announcing a racy new venture under his Yeezy branding.
The controversial 46-year-old rapper revealed he was planning on launching “Yeezy Porn”, his new adult entertainment project on Wednesday (April 24). However, after suffering an online backlash, the ex-husband of Kim Kardashian swiftly removed his Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) profiles.
Ye previously threatened to deactivate the accounts in March, following a rant about Kim’s choice of school for their children. Resisting the urge, however, he remained online until criticism of his reported plans with Stormy Daniel’s ex-husband Mike Moz surfaced.

It was also reported that the Yeezy porn studio would also launch a “broader adult entertainment division”. Kanye’s clothing brand is said to be serving as the parent company.
“Yeezy what???” penned one of the rapper’s followers in disgust to his news. Another quipped that they “miss the old Kanye”, whilst a third begged: “Kanye please stop embarrassing me, being a fan has been absolutely humiliating for like 10 years.”

Since at least 2007, Mike has been an art director in the adult film industry, notably working on Operation: Desert Stormy, whose star Stormy Daniels he tied the knot with during that year. Kanye, meanwhile, confessed to struggling with a porn addiction in 2019, sharing that his fascination with adult content started at the age of five.
“For me, Playboy was my gateway into full on pornography addiction. My dad had a Playboy left out at age five and it’s affected almost every choice I made for the rest of my life,” he told Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s Beats 1 Radio.

“From age five till now, having to kick the habit and it just presents itself in the open like it’s OK and I stand up and say: ‘No, it’s not OK’.”
Three years after his admission, while embroiled in a bitter dispute with ex Kim regarding their children’s education, he claimed that pornography had “destroyed” his family.
