Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, are suing Kanye's former dentist, Dr. Thomas Connelly, for medical malpractice, which includes giving Ye nitrous oxide and fraudulent billing, among others.
Biance Censori is acting as a witness in the case since she has been impacted by the harm the doctor's negligence caused Ye in 2024 and 2025. The legal team is headed by Andrew Cherkasky, and they have sent Dr. Thomas a notice of intention.
Dr. Thomas had treated Ye in 2024 for various cosmetic procedures, including getting a custom titanium crown, specialized prosthodontic procedures, and some other treatments.
Why is Kanye West suing his dentist, Dr Thomas?
As per The Hollywood Reporter, Kanye's legal team sent Dr.Thomas a formal notice of intent on Wednesday. They claim that the dentist allegedly supplied Ye with nitrous oxide for non-medical purposes and encouraged him to use it without any supervision. The letter states that:
''Evidence shows that during the time Ye was under your care, you engaged in numerous inappropriate and dangerous practices that were far outside the bounds of any legitimate medical purpose or standard of care.''
It further reads:
''These actions were not isolated incidents but rather part of a pattern of improper conduct by you from 2024 through 2025 while Ye was your patient. Ms. Censori, as Ye’s spouse, was a witness to and impacted by many of these events (some of which took place at their shared residence).”
As per TMZ, Kanye's team also claims that when the dentist noticed signs of nitrous oxide dependency in Ye, he abandoned him without providing any transition.
For context, Kanye's alleged nitrous oxide use came to light back in August 2024 when Ye's ex-chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, filed a complaint with the California Dental Board. He accused Dr. Thomas of supplying Ye with nitrous oxide for money, as he took a whopping $50K every month from him.
At the time, Milo also claimed that Ye would frequently talk about the gas during meetings, and he also claimed that the dependency on the gas caused his unpredictable behaviour. Dr.Thomas had denied these allegations, saying that they were misleading and factually incorrect.
Dr. Thomas Connelly has yet to issue a public response to the legal notice served by Kanye West’s legal team in May 2025. In other news, Kanye and Bianca are together after the rumors of the couple splitting had taken over social media. Bianca had issues with Kanye's control over her career decisions; however, as Ye agreed to give her more personal and professional independence, things between the two had settled.
According to reports, Kanye and Biance are currently on their European tour, which they taking to work on their relationship.
