Wakandian Prince Kanye West Wanted to Name his 2018 Album “Hitler”

Forbes:

Kanye West, also known as Ye, wanted to name his 2018 album after Adolf Hitler and had an “obsession” with the Nazi leader, CNN reported Thursday, citing several anonymous sources who used to be close to West, the latest revelation as the rapper has faced immense fallout for making antisemitic comments.

Four sources told CNN that West wanted to name his 2018 album Hitler, but ultimately went with the name Ye.

A former business executive who worked with West told the outlet that West had an affinity for Hitler and praised the dictator “by saying how incredible it was that 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.”

Do I think this is real? Let me think about it for a minute.

This may not have actually happened, but I choose to believe. Our Wakandian, Ye, spoketh, and what he sayeth be “Hitler be good and shieet.”

The executive said West spoke about having read Hitler’s book Mein Kampf and was admirable of the Nazi’s use of propaganda, and that West’s interest in Hitler was well known amongst his inner circle.

CNN’s report echoes a claim made by former TMZ staffer Van Lathan, who said West publicly praised Hitler during his infamous 2018 rant at the office; A source corroborated Lathan’s claims to CNN.

Again, I can go either way on this one, but it’s not that difficult to believe Kanye West would honestly admire Adolf Hitler. The natzees were really cool, and the aesthetic is undeniably fantastic. Adolf Hitler himself was a homeless orphan turned street painter turned WWI infantry veteran turned leader of a political party with six people turned jailed revolutionary turned leader of Germany.

And he wasn’t the “dictator,” of Germany, he was the leader. As a result of his policies Germans went from starving to death, to being a part of a flourishing nation. Kanye himself talks about the things that Adolf Hitler did for Germans, indicating that he has some amount of populist sentiment, and isn’t entirely captivated by the well designed suits and the rallies.

After Adidas severed ties with West on Tuesday, Forbes estimated he is now worth $400 million, down $2 billion.

We can quibble over exactly how net worth is calculated, but there’s no question that Kanye West has lost billions in assets because of this. At this point he needs to actually go DEFCON Six Million on Der Juden. I’d suggest reading some Nation of Islam books like “jews selling blacks,” for a good start.
