Kanye West and Bianca Censori File Lawsuit Against Dentist Over Nitrous Gas Use
Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, have filed a legal letter against a Beverly Hills dentist, accusing him of recklessly supplying them with dangerous amounts of nitrous gas, leading to a chemical dependency that caused neurological damage and "mood instability."
The couple’s lawyer, Andrew Cherkasky, says his firm outlined the claims in a letter sent to Dr. Thomas Connelly on Thursday. The letter informs the dentist that a malpractice lawsuit will be filed on behalf of the couple at the end of 90 days. The letter alleges that Connelly supplied West with nitrous oxide in "quantities and frequencies that had no legitimate dental or medical justification," and instructed the rapper, now known as Ye, on how to self-administer.
The lawyer says Connelly observed that West was "showing signs of dependency and neurological harm" by May 2024, including reports that he was frequently wearing an inhaler mask, obsessively discussing nitrous oxide, and displaying other signs of overuse and toxicity. The lawyer alleges that Connelly willfully ignored these "red flags" and continued with the alleged misconduct, even acknowledging in text messages and emails that he made "mistakes" in his treatment decisions.
The letter demands that Connelly notify his malpractice insurance carrier so they may assign counsel and participate in discussions toward resolution. Cherkasky is representing West and Censori along with Katie Cherkasky, his legal partner and wife.
West, 47, was once among the most respected and bankable artists in the music and fashion industries, working with other top artists and global brands including Adidas. He has since become known as a cultural and business pariah, making headlines for the far-right and antisemitic tirades he posts on social media.
