Kanye West might have just confirmed that he is getting into the porn industry, though it’s possible that he’s trolling his fans and followers.
The polarizing artist took to X (formerly Twitter) with a short video clip on Wednesday (April 24) that read the date”4 24 24″ and a succinct message against a plain-white background: “YEEZY PORN IS CUMMING.”
The video’s voiceover features a woman directing viewers his website, except there’s nothing on there besides Yeezy clothing items.
Earlier this week, TMZ reported that the Chicago native is planning to launch a porn studio, which would be part of “a broader adult entertainment division” of his existing Yeezy empire.
The outlet also claimed that he is in talks with Mike Moz, the ex-husband of porn veteran Stormy Daniels, to help him launch the brand, which they reportedly said could debut as early as this summer.

This move would certainly be bold for Kanye West, who has been very critical as well as vocal about his appetite for adult content in the past.
In a 2019 interview with Zane Lowe prior to the release of his PG-friendly gospel album Jesus Is King, he admitted he had a “full-on pornography addiction.”
“For me, Playboy was my gateway into full-on pornography addiction,” he said. “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.
“From age five ’til now, having to kick the habit and it just presents itself in the open like it’s okay and I stand up and say, ‘No, it’s not okay.’”
He then credited faith with helping him cure his addiction, saying: “With God I’ve been able to beat things that had a full control of me.”
Despite this, Kanye was later accused of frequently showing pornographic content to adidas employees during their lucrative Yeezy partnership, including sex tapes of him and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
The controversial rapper and fashion designer has also come under scrutiny over his current wife Bianca Censori’s penchant for wearing racy outfits that leave little to the imagination.
Earlier this year, her father publicly aired his frustration at the 46-year-old for “parad[ing] her around like a trashy naked trophy pony,” per The Daily Mail.
