Kanye West has had a long fascination with Adolf Hitler and Nazi culture, according to one of his former longtime business associates.
According to a CNN source, the 45-year-old reportedly wanted to name his 2018 album after Hitler, but allegedly was talked into naming it after himself with what became known as the seven-track Ye LP.
“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,” the individual — who spoke anonymously out of fear of retaliation — said.
The former executive revealed that Kanye “spoke openly” about his “admiration” for Hitler’s use of propaganda after reading his 1925 Mein Kampf Nazi manifesto.
The anonymous executive claims he reached a settlement with Kanye after leaving the company over workplace complaints including harassment.
Kanye’s alleged comments will come as no surprise to former TMZ employee Van Lathan, who claimed that Ye professed his “love” for Hitler during an interview with the company, but those parts were edited out.
“I already heard him say that stuff before at TMZ,” Lathan said during an episode of Higher Learning earlier this month. “I mean, I was taken aback because that type of antisemitic talk is disgusting. It’s like, I’m taken aback any time anyone does that, right?
“But as far as [West], 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. … He said something like, ‘I love Hitler, I love Nazis.’ Something to that effect when he was there. And they took it out of the interview for whatever reason. It wasn’t my decision.”
A long line of entities have since severed ties with Kanye as a result of his controversial anti-Semitic remarks including Balenciaga, Vogue, CAA, Def Jam, Gap and more.
Adidas decided to terminate its contract with the “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” artist earlier this week as well due to his recent anti-Semitic rhetoric. The move decimated Kanye’s net worth from a reported $2 billion to about $400 million, per Forbes.

A pair of superstar athletes in Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown and NFL All-Pro Aaron Donald even left Kanye’s Donda Sports agency.
Apple Music made the first move at censorship of all the major streaming platforms after removing the “Kanye West: Essentials” playlist and the “About Me” artist section from Yeezy’s catalog.
Based on his first comments since the fallout, Ye doesn’t appear to be ruffled by losing such a large amount of money in a short space of time.
“Ari Emmanuel, I lost 2 billion dollars in one day and I’m still alive,” Kanye wrote to Instagram. “This is love speech. I still love you. God still loves you. The money is not who I am. The people is who I am.”
We know this is fake. Kanye doesn’t like to read
Yeah. Kanye said himself he has never read a book in his life and theres no way he lied about that. Oh. Wait.
That’s why he is so intelligent and educated.
Lmao this just keeps getting worse and worse. Maybe this will be his rock bottom and he can finally get the help he needs.
He NEEDS an ass whippin! But I love watching fuck heads like this wreck their own shit with their dumb ass mouth…
There is literally a Hilter album coming out tomorrow. Westside Gunn HWH10. So stop wwith the stupid Kanye stories. Its low hangign fruit at this point.
He changed the name to just “10” now, lol.
WSG has said before it was a play on words: “The Devil Wears Prada, Hitler Wears Hermes”, which is a lot different than just naming an album “Hitler” because you really like…Hitler.
You’re on point. Ye wanting to title his album Hitler is ridiculous. As if WSG didn’t lay claim to that shit. He’ll even Tragedy Khadfi named himself the “”Arab Nazi”. Ye’s mad late! On another note, I thought he said he didn’t read???
Not the same bozo. Westside doesn’t admire Hitler. You tried though… “But what about him” a** … Lmfao
This website is sad..hip hop journalism is just as bad as the quality of rappers we have. Reach ass article

The kardashians are devils. All 6 kids names start with K. 6 k’s, that’s kkkkkk, multiple twice. The devils number is 6. Think about that. These women have caused nothing but grief to those they get involved with…they are Sirens. Medusas at minimal. After all the failed relationships and downfalls of their partners, think about it. Evil manifested in man.
