This video is from 2015 meaning it is the most recent and up to date information. And considering they had already finalized the story and script, heck, even the boss concepts by the time Ground Zeroes was released (the only thing they had to worry about was implementing the gameplay, playtesting it, and recording the voice actor's lines), if Kojima wanted to denounce it as non-canon, he would have done it way back when Ground Zeroes was first released.

Besides, Bluerock already made it clear, twice, that we are NOT going to list Portable Ops and Rising as non-canon. Spinoffs, yes, but not non-canon.
