Kanye West has allegedly relapsed on nitrous oxide, a New York Post exclusive report says. His memory is said to be affected, and his behavior is erratic, sources claim.

The relapse is said to have started after dental procedures in Los Angeles in January 2025. Though medically used for sedation, Kanye West is said to have continued using it recreationally.

Sources close to him say that his inner circle is worried and that his wife, Bianca Censori, is agitated. Others say their marriage is tense. West has yet to comment on these claims, and his spokespeople have refused to comment on requests.


Sources say Kanye West’s alleged drug use is affecting his memory and behavior

The New York Post reports that Kanye West's use of nitrous oxide started after he had a dental procedure in Los Angeles. The gas is normally given to patients to ease pain and relax them, but insiders say that Kanye West kept using it beyond medical guidance.

Individuals who know what went on say that his demeanor shifted in the weeks after the procedure, which gave rise to speculations regarding how much Kanye West was using. Nitrous oxide, although lawfully available for medical use, has been abused recreationally because of its fleeting euphoric high.

Excessive use can cause impaired thinking, dizziness, and memory loss. While there has been no official word on Kanye West's status, sources accuse him of using the drug frequently enough to be considered a problem.


Insiders suggest Kanye West’s marriage under strain due to reported substance use

West's reported use of nitrous oxide has allegedly strained his marriage to Bianca Censori. According to the New York Post, there has been growing tension between the couple, especially after a Grammy party in early February when West's conduct is said to have been out of character.

Certain insiders maintain that Kanye West's experience in Japan earlier this year was characterized by more stable behavior, but since returning to Los Angeles, individuals close to him have observed a change.

There are reports that individuals in his inner circle fear that his environment is facilitating his claimed substance use. There has been no confirmation from Censori or official approval from Kanye West on the nature of their relationship.


Concerns grow over Kanye West’s alleged memory issues and erratic actions

The New York Post quotes sources that state Kanye West has been experiencing memory loss. Reports suggest that Kanye has been forgetting things and events, at times, days after they happen.

Some are speculating that this could be part of the reason for his erratic behavior and inflammatory public statements. Kanye West has come under criticism in recent times for a sequence of comments and actions that have attracted criticism.

Some informers hint that his condition of mind may be a matter of worry, but there has been no official analysis or medical report confirming anything yet. His history of issues with mental illness is reported widely, but it is not recognized whether his alleged drug application is linked to any broader issues.

But so far, no information has been gathered from Kanye West or his team about these claims. As of now, the extent of his suspected application of materials and its influence on his health and relations is yet to be recognized.
