Kanye West's ex-aide deported to UK and sends indirect message on social media

When Kanye West was performing in New Orleans, which, by the way, some reports say was the biggest gathering in the city's history, his one-time close aide Milo Yiannopoulos was nabbed by ICE.

A late July court order was against the far-right commentator for overstaying his visa in the country.

Agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested him while Yiannopoulos was at the Louisiana airport.

Immediately, he was deported to the United Kingdom. 

From there, now, he appears to be taking a dig at the authorities who detained him.

In a post on X, he commented on an advertisement for KFC's limited-time 'Dirty Louisiana Burger'.

He simply wrote, "Oh f*** off.”

According to TMZ, the caption is a potshot at Louisiana, the state where he was detained and deported.

But interestingly, about 2.5 hours – that is how long Kanye West performed at his latest concert in New Orleans but uttered not a single word about his former top executive, Milo Yiannopoulos, being arrested by ICE.

That is what TMZ pointed out.

At the concert, Ye – consistent with his style – wore a mask that fully covered his face while belting out one of his top hits, such as Through the Wire, Jesus Walks, and The Good Life.

At one point, the rapper’s close collaborator Ty Dolla $ign also joined him.

Together, they did a mashup of the songs associated with the Backstreet Boys and the Return of the Mack.

Given past proximity, the report said both rappers did not weigh in on Yiannopoulos’s detainment, who could be on the verge of facing deportation.

That’s because—though he entered the US legally in 2019—he stayed long past what was allowed on his immigration status.

In light of this, an immigration judge ordered his removal in a ruling on July 22, 2026.

As a result, agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained Yiannopoulos at a Louisiana airport on Thursday.

However, the far-right commentator's and Chicago rapper's relationship status remains unclear, and both have been linked and faced a torrent of criticism over the years because of the Grammy winner’s controversies.

Initially, Yiannopoulos joined the Donda hitmaker in 2022; Yiannopoulos wore several hats in a professional capacity for West, from being an adviser to the rap star’s brief yet ill-fated presidential bid to becoming a chief of staff to him and his company Yeezy.

On various occasions, he openly defended Ye during several controversies and even quit over several disputes with the rapper, but most of the time he rejoined him.
