Did Kanye West always admire Hitler? The Donda singer is undoubtedly one of the most controversial figures in the entertainment industry today. Although considered a musical genius, his extreme points of view and their continuation led many distancing themselves from the artist. Despite his conservative opinions, the singer was let loose in the name of free speech.

But his free speech sparks a debate. Where does one draw the line between free speech and hate speech? The sudden escalation from attacking celebrities to admiring a Nazi leader has increased the fears of normalizing such talks. But for Kanye West, it may not have been such a sudden journey. Maybe he always liked the much-disliked leader.

Did Kanye West just come out of the closet about his long-time admiration for Hitler?

Amidst all the controversies piling up about Ye, it would seem skeletons are emerging from his closet. As per a source, West would praise the Hitler, finding it incredible how “he was able to accumulate so much power and would talk about all the great things he and the Nazi Party achieved for the German people.” It is said that the Gold Digger singer admired the Nazi leader even 20 years ago and wanted to use propaganda to push his fame and career.

Even his TMZ interview was cut out and former employee Van Lathan Jr. claimed that Ye said, “I love Hitler. I love Nazis.” These statements throughout the year would cause the people in his work environment to feel uncomfortable. Hitler’s accumulation of power and ability to “achieve” so much through the Nazi party is what attracted Ye to the disgraced leader.

His inner circle considers his dangerous admiration to be a well-kept but well-known secret. His “Deathcon 3 to Jewish people” comment was only the beginning of his coming out as pro-Hitler. While many celebrities have spoken up against him, it has not stopped him from changing his narrative. It remains to be seen whether he will be allowed to continue speaking as an individual or if he will be stopped in any legal way.
