AceShowbiz - A newly-surfaced text brought insight into Kanye West's alleged addiction to nitrous gas. While the "Vulture" rapper and dentist Thomas P. Connelly denied the claims, the disturbing text appeared to support the allegations made by Ye's former chief of staff Milo Yiannopoulos.

The text, surfacing online on Tuesday, August 13, saw a group chat between Ye, Connelly and Yiannopoulos. The dentist could be seen saying that he wanted nitrous to be legalized. He wrote, "This needs to be a long term goal. Get recreational nitrous legalized."

Yiannopoulos expressed his disagreement to the idea, writing, "Why would anyone want to introduce another drug to an already depressed, addicted, demoralized and apathetic population of dopamine slaves?"

Ye, meanwhile, wasn't bothered by the argument as he replied, "Can I have the Nitrus today." He added, "Tom, You said you'd bring them by today. Checking in." The rapper's replies indicated that it wasn't the first time he consumed the laughing gas.

Earlier this month, Yiannopoulos claimed that Ye's dentist Connelly provided the hip-hop star with excessive amounts of nitrous oxide for recreational use. According to a legal affidavit filed by Yiannopoulos, Connelly exploited Ye's "psychological vulnerabilities" despite being aware of his addiction to nitrous oxide, also known as "laughing gas" or "hippy crack." The affidavit alleged that Connelly charged Ye over $50,000 per month for supplying "enormous quantities" of the gas.

According to the legal documents, Yeezy staff members expressed concerns about the "Gold Digger" rapper's growing dependence on the gas, observing him wearing an inhaler mask continuously. The affidavit pointed out that prolonged nitrous oxide use can produce symptoms similar to Ye's bipolar diagnosis, including mood swings, paranoia and impaired communication.

Connelly's representative quickly shut down the accusations. Speaking to TMZ, the rep dismissed them as "not only factually incorrect but also intentionally misleading" and insisted that Connelly's team maintains that he adheres to ethical and legal standards. The rep also accused Yiannopoulos of fabricating claims for attention and attempting to harm Connelly's reputation.
