Kanye West is currently at the center of a nasty controversy that is negatively affecting his net worth, and it’s a result of the anti-semitic rhetoric he’s pushed back of late.
However, sources close to the rapper have now revealed that he has a long history of being an anti-semite which can be traced back to an unhealthy love of Adolf Hitler.
German dictators were responsible for the genocide of European Jews during World War II, which we all know as the Holocaust.
Kanye West Reportedly Admires Dictator Adolf Hitler
An anonymous source close to the Yeezy founder revealed to CNN that West, who now goes by the name Ye, has a deep admiration for Hitler and even wants to name his 2018 album after the German politician.

A former business associate of the rapper anonymously told the publication that Ye’s love for Hitler resulted in a hostile work environment because he was “obsessed” with the notion of gaining power like the late dictator.
According to the unnamed executive, “He would praise Hitler saying how incredible it was that he was able to amass so much power and would talk about all the great things he and the Nazi Party accomplished for the German people.”
The business associate revealed that he left his position with Ye’s company after filing a harassment complaint. However, she eventually reached a settlement with the rapper, who vehemently denied the harassment allegations.
According to sources, the 24-time Grammy Award winner is so invested in becoming like Hitler that he often talks openly about reading the dictator’s 1925 autobiographical manifesto, “Mein Kampf,” and supporting Hitler and Nazi propaganda against Jews.
To make matters worse, insiders claim that many people in the rapper’s inner circle were “fully aware” of his love for the disgraced leader but did not warn him. For his 2018 album, which he initially wanted to name after the dictator, Academy founder Donda finally decided on “Ye.”
This isn’t the first report to discuss the “Good Morning” rapper’s adoration for Hitler. Earlier this month, former TMZ reporter Van Lathan claimed the 45-year-old professed his love for the late politician during an interview with the famous outlet.

Lathan, during an episode of his “Higher Education” podcast, claimed, “I’ve heard him say that before. I’ve heard him say that before. I mean, I’m shocked because that kind of anti-Semitic talk is disgusting. But as far as he, I know that’s in him because when it came to TMZ, he said that, and they took it out of the interview.
The former journalist shared that she tried to rebut the rapper but only got more shocking claims about her love for Nazis and Hitler.
Ye Millionaire’s Status In Danger Because Of Anti-Semitic Words
While Ye seems to have gotten away with his anti-Semitic remarks in the past, that hasn’t been the case recently. After the fashion designer took to Twitter earlier this month to spew dangerous rhetoric, everything around him turned into chaos.
The tweet in question read, “I will die over Jews Funny thing I can’t actually be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jews too You guys have played me and tried to blackmail anyone who opposes. your agenda.”
The Atlanta native has since been losing deals left and right, with brands running away from him. It first started with JPMorgan Chase confirming they were closing all of Ye’s accounts with them. After that, brands such as Balenciaga, Vogue, Gap and Adidas issued statements announcing they were cutting ties with him.

However, the deadliest deal was from Adidas, which reportedly accounted for over a billion dollars of his net worth. The sportswear company that initially put its partnership with Ye under review ended their partnership earlier this week.
“After a thorough review, the company has decided to terminate the partnership with Ye immediately, end production of Yeezy-branded products, and stop all payments to Ye and his company. Adidas will discontinue the Adidas Yeezy business with immediate effect,” the released statement read.
According to Forbes, the terminated deal means Ye’s net worth is now around $400 million, with income now coming from several sources such as his music catalog, cash, and a 5% stake in ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS brand.
