Decked out in a black balaclava covering his entire face, rapper Kanye West claimed to "love Hitler" and "adore the Nazis".


Rapper Kanye West, increasingly isolated after his recent anti-Semitic remarks, went a little deeper on Thursday when confessing his admiration for Hitler and the Nazis during an interview with a conspiratorial American presenter.

During an ubiquitous appearance, the artist, who now calls himself Ye, wore a black balaclava covering his entire face.

He launched into a tirade about sin, pornography and the devil.

“I also see positive things about Hitler

,” said the rapper, on the set of the

Infowars

show by far-right conspirator Alex Jones.

Kanye West 'loves Hitler'

“This guy (…) invented the highways, invented the microphone that I use as a musician.

We can't say publicly that this person has done anything good, and I've had enough

, ”added Kanye West.

The rapper, who claims to have bipolar disorder and recently suggested he could run for President of the United States in 2024, doubled down on the provocation, prompting shocked laughter from his host.

"I've had enough of labels, every human being has brought something of value, especially Hitler

," he insisted.

"I love Hitler."

“The Nazis were thugs and did very bad things

,” tried to correct him presenter Alex Jones, recently sentenced to pay nearly a billion dollars for denying the reality of a massacre in a school.

“But they did good things too

,” the rapper retorted.

“We have to stop insulting the Nazis all the time.

(...) I love the Nazis.”

Stuck in a series of controversies, Kanye West has been dropped in recent weeks by the brands with which he collaborated.

The sports equipment manufacturer Adidas notably cut ties with the rapper at the end of October because of remarks deemed anti-Semitic.

The ready-to-wear chain Gap and the fashion house Balenciaga have also turned their backs on him.

In early October, the rapper displayed the slogan “White Lives Matter” during a parade in Paris

,

hijacking the name of the anti-racist movement “Black Lives Matter”.

On set Thursday, he appeared alongside white supremacist Nick Fuentes, with whom he attended a highly controversial dinner this week with former US President Donald Trump.

His remarks immediately sparked a deluge of condemnation from many personalities on social networks.

In a statement, the Republican Jewish Coalition denounced Kanye West as a

“vile and repugnant cultist who targeted the Jewish community with Nazi-like threats and libel.”

“Conservatives who made the mistake of tolerating Kanye West need to be clear that he is an outcast,”

added this organization close to the Republican Party.
