Ye, the artist previously known as Kanye West, aged 46, is reportedly contemplating the idea of establishing a pornography studio as his latest venture beyond music.
According to a recent report from TMZ, Ye and his team are said to be in advanced discussions with Mike Moz, the former husband of Stormy Daniels, to develop a potential “Yeezy Porn” division under the Yeezy parent company.
Moz, a seasoned professional in the adult entertainment industry with over ten years of experience as a producer, is purportedly being considered to spearhead this new endeavor, which could potentially debut as soon as this summer.
Ye’s relationship with pornography appears to be complex. While he openly incorporated themes of sexual fantasies in his earlier music, his perspective shifted around five years ago when he announced his conversion to Christianity.
In a 2019 interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, West, who notably served as the creative director for the Pornhub Awards in 2018, revealed that Playboy magazine had been his entry point into what he described as a “full-on pornography addiction.”
“My dad had a full-on magazine laid out when I was five,” he told Lowe. “Playboy was a gateway to a full-on pornography addiction. … It has impacted every choice I have made in my life from age five to now.”
Elsewhere in the conversation, which was recorded ahead of the release of his Jesus Is King album featuring the Sunday Service Choir, Ye opened up about how his Christianity changed him.
“Now that I’m in service to Christ, my job is to spread the gospel, to let people know what Jesus has done for me,” said Ye, who was still with Kim Kardashian. “I’ve spread a lot of things. There was a time I was letting you know what high fashion had done for me, I was letting you know what the Hennessey had done for me, but now I’m letting you know what Jesus has done for me, and in that I’m no longer a slave, I’m a son now, a son of God. I’m free.”
In 2022, West wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post that pornography “destroyed” his family.
“Hollywood is a giant brothel Pornography destroyed my family I deal with the addiction instagram promotes it Not gonna let it happen to Northy and Chicago,” he wrote at the time, per Page Six.
A lot has changed between then and now, including Ye’s marriage to Bianca Censori, 29, which happened secretly in December 2022. She’s been photographed a number of times—by Ye and paparazzi alike—in clothing that tests the boundaries of the word “revealing.”.
On his latest album, Vultures, Ye sampled an infamous line from the 1999 film Dogma for his song “Back to Me” where he raps, “Beautiful, big titty, butt-naked women just don’t fall out the sky, you know?”
