New legal documents reveal Kanye West is planning to sue celebrity dentist Dr. Thomas Connelly. The rapper claims he is suffering from a nitrous oxide addiction due to what he claims is the dentist’s reckless and unethical treatment.
Dr. Connelly was reportedly a formal notice of intent to sue for malpractice by Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s attorneys. Connelly allegedly began serving as West’s dentist in early 2024.
In the documents, obtained by E! News, Dr. Connelly provided cosmetic dental treatment to Kanye West from 2024 to 2025. During that time, West and Censori claim he was given large amounts of nitrous oxide and then left to “fend for himself with a serious induced addiction.”
“You repeatedly administered or supplied nitrous oxide (‘laughing gas’) and/or other sedative substances to Ye in quantities and frequencies that had no legitimate dental or medical justification,” West and Censori’s lawyers wrote. “Notably, you went so far as to deliver large ‘surgical-size’ nitrous oxide tanks to Ye’s personal residence (including the residence he shared with Ms. Censori), effectively enabling and encouraging him to inhale nitrous oxide outside of any medical setting.”
The notice also claims the dentist “instructed Ye on how to self-administer nitrous oxide” and when Kanye began “exhibiting distressing neurological symptoms and erratic behavior” as a result of the alleged addiction, Dr. Connelly continued to provide him with nitrous oxide. They also claim the dentist gave West an injectable sedative “verifying his medical soundness.”
“As a result, in this instance, Ye suffered extreme mental and physical distress leading to urgent medical care,” the lawyers wrote. “Your actions and omissions were negligent, grossly negligent, and reckless, and some may have been intentional and malicious.”
It is also claimed in the notice that Bianca Censori has been “deprived of the companionship, support, services, and marital relationship of her husband” because of his dependency on nitrous oxide. “Instead of enjoying a healthy married life, she was forced to witness Ye’s physical and mental distress and deterioration,” the lawyers wrote.
