Kanye West has just returned to the limelight, but so have the new wave of accusations against him. A hoard of interviews, random social media posts, and outbursts led him to get banned from several platforms and outcast by a lot of celebrities. He went away from it all for months, before returning with his new wife, Bianca Censori. But the ghosts of his controversial past may be catching up to him now.

Other than his own Jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy documentary, he has been a center of topic for the media. Jumping on the bandwagon, the BBC came up with their own new documentary titled The Trouble with KanYe. Contributing to the content is Ye’s former business partner, who has some strong revelations about Ye’s anti-Semitic comments.

Kanye West made a lot of enemies due to his controversial statements, and they are speaking up now. According to Deadline, Ye’s former ally Alex Klein revealed in the new BBC documentary about the rapper’s sudden and offensive outburst. They apparently had a disagreement about something and Ye said, “I feel like I wanna smack you”. Their partnership came to an end after Ye’s anti-Semitic remarks, and he accused Klein of being ‘just like the other Jews.’ 

As per him, Ye felt that people of that community were trying to hold him back. But also, his comments made sense to him because he felt like it would help with his election campaign. He was aiming for the Whitehouse in 2020, wanting a Black Panther style of Presidency, and has stood for it again. The ‘Famous’ rapper even visited Churches with allies to spread his message.
