Kanye West has deleted his social media accounts amid backlash to his plans to launch a Yeezy Porn studio.
The rapper, 46, who previously revealed he had an addiction to pornography which ‘destroyed his family’ took down his accounts shortly after teasing that his studio was coming soon with a lewd post.
The Grammy-winning artist, whose career has dipped amid a torrent of anti-Semitic remarks he’s made since the fall of 2022, received dozens of responses from fans who were disappointed into his foray into adult entertainment.
A number of fans brought up West’s past spiritually-driven projects – including his 2019 album Jesus Is King and his Sunday Services – in comparison to the porn project.
‘I thought you gave your life to Christ what happened man? You took it back or what?’ one fan said.

Another said, ‘Go back to Christ, this ain’t it’ while another advised, ‘Find God.’
One user told the rapper, ‘You sold your soul to the devil’ while another asked, ‘Weren’t you selling Jesus albums a year ago?’
A fan shared a clip of Natalie Portman as Padmé Amidala opposite Hayden Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker.
‘JIK Ye Fans seeing this,’ the fan said with a broken-hearted emoji, referring to the 2019 album.
A number of users threw West’s past comments on porn back in his face, sharing anti-porn sentiments he expressed on his Twitter in December of 2022, according to Newsweek.
One read, ‘The use of Porn destroyed my family but Jesus will heal everything.’
Another said, ‘Remove any and all forms of pornography from Twitter and every platform. Pornography is the product of [pedophilia]. When grown men look at porn they are watching someone’s daughter relive trauma for money.’
A user posted the old tweets, adding in reference to the turn to porn: ‘We just fetched your archives.’
One user said West was being badly advised in regards to the potential turn to adult entertainment.
More recently, however, he is thought to have been behind his wife Bianca Censori‘s jaw-dropping outfits that leave her intimate parts exposed to view.
Now a representative for Kanye has informed TMZ that the rap star hopes to add an adult entertainment branch to his Yeezy empire, possibly this summer.
He is said to be communicating with adult film producer Mike Moz, who used to be married to Stormy Daniels, in hopes that Mike will run his studio.

Mike’s history in porn stretches back to at least 2007 when he was an art director on Operation: Desert Stormy, whose star Stormy Daniels he married that year.
Although Kanye has purportedly been considering entering the porn industry for some time, he is now said to be in serious negotiations to start a studio.
Kanye described himself as a porn addict in 2019, saying that his fixation with adult entertainment began when he was only five years old
‘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 later, during a bitter feud with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian over their children’s schooling, he claimed porn had ‘destroyed’ his family.
The former couple are co-parenting two daughters, North, 10, and Chicago, six, as well as two sons, Saint, eight, and Psalm, four.
Kim wed Kanye in 2014 and filed for divorce in February 2021 after months of speculation that their marriage was on the verge of collapse.

The following year, Kanye claimed to have a porn ‘addiction’ while denouncing his former mother-in-law Kris Jenner, in a furious Instagram caption addressed to Kylie Jenner’s former assistant Victoria Villarroel.
‘Don’t let Kris make you do playboy like she made Kyle and Kim do,’ he urged Victoria: ‘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.’
Kim starred in a Playboy shoot in 2007, while her younger half-sister Kylie covered the magazine’s Pleasure issue over a decade later in 2019.
In October 2022, Kanye’s career imploded after he launched a string of antisemitic tirades, including a vow to go ‘death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE.’
Shortly thereafter, Kanye faced allegations that he had presided over a ‘sexualized’ work environment suffused with pornography at Yeezy.
He was accused of showing staffers nude photos and footage of Kim in a supposed bid to intimidate them, in an exposé published by Rolling Stone.
