Kanye West Said He Loved Hitler During 2018 TMZ Appearance

Kanye West Said He Loved Hitler During 2018 TMZ Appearance

Remember that TMZ appearance Kanye West made in 2018? The one where he told us he got lipo so we wouldn’t call him fat.

During that appearance, Kanye made headlines for declaring that slavery was a choice, but according to Van Lathan (who worked at TMZ at the time and made headlines of his own when he cleared Ye), the rapper also said he loved Hitler and nazis during that appearance. However, we never got to hear those comments because they were left on the cutting room floor. Lathan made the revelation on his podcast, Higher Learning, which he co-hosts with Rachel Lindsay.

It’s not clear what the rationale was, but it seems someone at TMZ decided that anti-Black hate was safer than antisemitism.
