Kanye teased his new idea on YouTube, with a video of a white screen with a simple message reading, "Yeezy Porn is C*mming."
That was all the motivation Jimmy needed to kick off a recent monologue on his show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!
After sharing the news with his studio audience, Jimmy pointed out the irony in Kanye's model - especially just a few years after opening the Donda Academy, a religious private educational institution named after his late mother
"It's the next logical step after opening a pre-K through 12th grade Christian private school," Jimmy joked sarcastically.

"You can't say he doesn't have range, right?" he continued.
As the laughs died down, Jimmy quipped, "'That’s the kind of business genius is. He said: 'You know what the internet could use? Some porn!'"
PORN HUB
Ye is planning to start the studio in a partnership with adult film star Stormy Daniels' ex-husband Mike Moz, according to TMZ.
Although the business won't fully start until later this year, a rep for the rapper claimed the idea had been in the works for some time.

PORN PAST
Kanye has not publicly commented on the business plan at this time, but the rapper has experienced a rollercoaster relationship with the porn industry over the years.
In 2018, he worked as the official creative director of the Pornhub Awards and even performed at the ceremony.
He has also previously gone on the record to claim that he suffers from a porn addiction.

Jimmy Kimmel
Kanye said that the industry threatened his relationship with his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, 43, and the former couple's four young kids.
In a 2022 Instagram rant, he slammed social media for encouraging porn to be even more accessible.
