Kanye West allegedly wanted to call his 2018 album ‘Hitler’ after the German leader.
Kanye West Allegedly Wanted To Call His 2018 Album ‘Hitler’-‘He Would Praise Hitler And The Nazis,’ Says Source
That is certainly not a very good look given that Hitler would go on to be involved in one of the biggest crimes in history, that being the Holocaust.
And given that Kanye had recently faced backlash after he vowed to go ‘def con 3’ on Jewish people, this does not put him in a good light. The rapper would eventually go on to call the album ‘Ye,’ but it seems that West had a certain fixation on Hitler.
An unnamed business executive, who allegedly worked for Kanye, told CNN the following: “He would praise Hitler by saying how incredible it was that he was able to accumulate so much power and would talk about all the great things he and the Nazi Party achieved for the German people.”
Much in the same way, former reporter for TMZ Van Lathan also claimed that Kanye had expressed his admiration for Hitler and the Nazis.
This was part of an apparent rant that the rapper had done this month. Although that segment of the interview would go on to be taken out, it nevertheless has damaged Kanye’s reputation extensively.
Van’s following comments confirmed as much: “I mean, I was taken aback because that type of anti-Semitic talk is disgusting. But as far as him. I knew that that was in him because when he came to TMZ, he said that stuff and they took it out of the interview.”
The fans on social media were outraged by this accusation. A certain subset of people were of the view that there was no way back for Kanye from this. One person wrote: “Stick a fork in Kanye, he’s done.”
Kanye has yet to respond to this, but based on what we have seen so far, things are not looking very good. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
