Kanye West has been accused of openly praising Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party.
Former employees of the disgraced rapper-turned-fashion designer are speaking up about West’s anti-Semitic remarks made years before 2022.
According to a new report from NBC News, West went as far as to pay a former employee “hush money” who alleged that he had used anti-Semitic language in the workplace.
Six additional employees, who worked with West, claim they witnessed him in professional settings over the last five years praise Hitler and/or mention conspiracy theories about Jewish people.
It appears the “Donda” rapper has been using this kind of language much longer than his recent Twitter outbursts and national TV interviews.
The only employee to speak out against West’s anit-Semitism was Ryder Ripps, who worked on and off with him from 2014 to 2018.
Ripps recalled multiple times when West spoke positively about Hitler and the Nazis or mentioned anti-Jewish conspiracies.
Ripps believes West’s remarks are “dangerous and disgusting and actually violent.”
“With this pattern that’s happening and with the doubling and tripling down of all this, it’s pretty obvious that this is some kind of disgusting, hate-filled, strange Nazi obsession,”
