Kanye West allegedly told TMZ he “loved Hitler and the Nazis”

Kanye West allegedly professed his love for Adolf Hitler in 2018 when he infamously told TMZ that slavery was a “choice.”

During Wednesday episode of the podcast “Higher Learning”Van Lathan claimed the rapper commented in front of the camera, but TMZ eventually edited them video.

“I’ve heard him say such things before,” Lathan told co-host Rachel Lindsay, referring to Ye’s recent anti-Semitic comments.

“I mean, I was surprised because anti-Semitic statements like this are gross. But as for him, I knew it was in him because when he came to TMZ he said such things and they removed it from the interview, ”he claimed.

Lathan – who worked for TMZ until 2019 – claimed to have mentioned the Holocaust while rejecting Ye’s comments about slavery, but rapper “Gold Digger” made shocking claims in response.

“If you look at what I said in TMZ it came from me saying,” Hey Kanye, everything you just said there has to do with real life. ” What I said later – if I remember it was a long time – was, “12 million people actually died because of Nazism, Hitler and other things,” and then I go on to talk about what he said about slavery. ‘Argued Lathan.

“The reason they took him out is because it wouldn’t make sense if they didn’t keep Kanye saying he loves Hitler and the Nazis, which he said when he was at TMZ. He said something like, “I love Hitler, I love the Nazis.” Something like that.

Lathan remembered a Jewish member of the tabloid staff who challenged West for his anti-Semitic remarks, but this did not affect the musician’s views.

“When I saw [the new tweets], I thought, “Oh, I knew it would come eventually.” Actually, I was expecting it to come a lot sooner than now, ”said the podcaster, referring to Ye’s last tweet.

Page 6 contacted Ye and TMZ representatives, but did not receive a reply immediately.

Just last week, Ye was banned from his Instagram account after he shared a deleted screenshot of a text message exchange with Sean Love Combs, also known as Diddy, in which he hinted that the rapper was controlled by Jews.

When Diddy asked the rapper to “stop playing those internet games” amidst his last series of IG tirades, he replied, “This is not a game,” before continuing, “I’ll use you as an example to show the Jews who said call me that no one can threaten me or influence me. “

He then switched to Twitter after he was kicked out of Instagram and continued to write in the deleted tweet: “I’m a bit sleepy today, but when I wake up I’m flying to death con 3 ABOUT JEWISH PEOPLE The funny thing is that it can’t actually be anti-Semitism because blacks are Jews too. You played with me and tried to charm anyone who opposed your program.

The post has been deleted and West was then banned from his Twitter also.
