He was one of America’s biggest music stars. But now the scandal rapper is sinking Kanye West (45) always deeper.
West followed up his recent anti-Semitic tirades with another outrage. In an interview with a conspiracy theorist portal, he said: “I don’t like the word ‘evil’ in connection with Nazis. I love Jewish people, but I also love Nazis.”
And then the rapper, masked with a black mask, added: “I also see good sides in Hitler. (…) I like Hitler.”

West, who now calls himself Ye, claimed that Hitler invented the autobahn and the microphone. But the fact is: Germany’s later Chancellor Konrad Adenauer (CDU) had the first autobahn built in 1932 – between Cologne and Bonn. At that time he was Cologne’s Lord Mayor. The Nazis later downgraded the autobahn to a country road to build up their propaganda tale.
And mass murderer Hitler had absolutely nothing to do with the invention of the microphone…
His album should also be called Hitler
In recent weeks, Ye, who suffers from bipolar disorder, has repeatedly shocked with anti-Jewish statements. The musician wrote on social networks that he wanted to “bring death to Jewish people”.
He also raved about the alleged power of media controlled by Jews. Crazy conspiracy theory! He, too, is the target of the “Jewish underground media mafia”.
A month ago, CNN revealed that the musician originally intended to title his 2018 album Ye, Hitler. An executive who worked for him said Ye was “obsessed” with the Nazi dictator.
Even die-hard fans distanced themselves from the rapper as a result. More and more people around him are turning away – including ex-wife Kim Kardashian (42) and his longtime friend Justin Bieber (28).
He seems to find recognition for it elsewhere. Ex-US President Donald Trump (76) recently invited him dinner a. Right-wing extremist Nick Fuentes (24) was also there.
This brought Trump fierce criticism from his ex-Vice Vice President Mike Pence (63). He told NewsNation: “It was wrong for President Trump to give a seat at the table to a white nationalist, an anti-Semite and a Holocaust denier, and I think he should apologize for that.”
After the meeting, Trump claimed not to have known Fuentes. Trump wrote of West in the network he co-founded Truth Social: “Anyway, we got along well, he expressed no anti-Semitism.”
