Kanye West appears to have confirmed plans to venture into the world of adult entertainment, following speculation that he was working on a “Yeezy porn studio”.
The reports about the rapper – who now goes by the name Ye – emerged towards the start of this week, when TMZ reported that a representative for West had got in touch and claimed that a “Yeezy Porn Studio” was on the horizon.
According to the report, the rapper was “dead set” to get the business off the ground, and was in “advanced talks” with new business partner Mike Moz, who is a porn producer and the ex-husband of Stormy Daniels.
Now, West has appeared to confirm the rumours around him, and taken to social media to tease the upcoming launch.
Posting on X/Twitter last night (April 24), the rapper shared a six-second clip that read “Yeezy Porn Is Cumming”, while a female voice appeared over the top, telling viewers to “go to yeezy.com.”
Representatives for West did not immediately return NME’s request 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 to Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s Beats 1 ahead of the release of ‘Jesus Is King’. During the interview, West acknowledged the extent of his “full-on pornography addiction” and said he was overcoming it thanks to his belief in God.
“Playboy was a gateway to a full-on pornography addiction. My dad had a Playboy left out at age 5. It has affected every choice I have made for the rest of my life from age 5 to now, where I’m having to kick the habit. And it just presents itself in the open, like it’s OK. And I stand up and say: it’s not OK,” he said.
He also came forward in 2022 and claimed that his pornography addiction “destroyed my family” (via Page Six).
More recently, the musician made headlines after he and his current partner Bianca Censori were reportedly “banned for life” after indecent exposure on a Venice boat.
The rumoured partnership between Ye and Mike Moz also comes as the latter’s ex-wife is in the headlines for her ties to the Donald Trump hush money trial, which is currently underway in New York.
The former president is accused of falsifying internal business records. This was allegedly part of a scheme to quash stories that he thought could hurt his presidential campaign in 2016 (via Sky News). He is accused of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. If found guilty, the offence is punishable by up to four years in prison – although it’s unclear if he is likely to face jail time.
Trump and West have had ties in recent years too, with West previously confirming he asked Trump to be his running mate when he aims to become US President in 2024. They later came to blows, but earlier this year appeared to have reconciled, as West openly endorsed Trump in this year’s US presidential election race.
In other Ye news, it was reported earlier this week that the rapper had gotten involved in the ongoing rap beef between Drake, J. Cole, Future and Kendrick Lamar – making an appearance on Justin Laboy’s radio show The Download, and premiering his remix of ‘Like That’.
His latest album was a collaborative LP with Ty Dolla $ign titled ‘Vultures 1’, and was given a two-star review by NME, and criticised for its “degrading lyrics and messy mixes”. It was reported earlier today (April 25) that its follow-up, ‘Vultures 2’ may be released as soon as next week.
