NBC News reported that six additional people said Ye either “mentioned conspiracy theories about Jewish people or praised Hitler” in a professional setting over the past five years. Ryder Ripps was the only member of the group who was comfortable sharing his story publicly, while others remained anonymous.

The conceptual artist Ryder Ripps, who worked intermittently with West from 2014 to 2018, claimed that he previously opposed West’s comments since he is Jewish. Still, he never thought the remarks were “dangerous.”

Ripps said to the media outlet, “He had told me a bunch of s**t about like, how, ‘Nazis are good at propaganda.'”

Additionally, he claimed that the rapper told him in 2018, “you’re not offended that like I’m interested in Nazis or something.”

Ripps seemed to have never taken West seriously before, but that appears to have changed after the rapper’s anti-semitic comments on social media and in interviews have ramped up over the past few weeks, including a promise to commit “death con 3” against Jewish people.

Ryder Ripps told NBC News, 

“This is dangerous, disgusting, and actually violent. With this pattern happening and the doubling and tripling down of all this, it’s pretty obvious that this is some kind of ng, hate-filled, strange Nazi obsession.”

As a result of West’s current actions, Ripps said West has “crossed the line,” noting that he has seen an “uptick of people attacking me personally” for his religious beliefs. Ripps and the other sources are not the first to claim that the West was obsessed with Hitler and the Nazis.

Last month, the initial report by CNN focused mainly on Kanye West’s praise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party during certain phases of the interview. According to the outlet, West was at odds with Universal Music Group and Def Jam Recordings over his album title. However, he has repeatedly said that’s how he should be addressed since releasing the album in June 2018.

Nevertheless, the outlet reported that West wanted the album to be called ‘Hitler.’ Finally, in an intense moment of tension, West agreed to name the album Ye after the dispute over the album’s name.

It was reported that West publicly discussed reading Hitler’s book, Mein Kampf.

Another former colleague alleged,

He would praise Hitler by saying how incredible it was that he accumulated so much power and would talk about all the great things he and the Nazi Party achieved for the German people.”

In the past, many have heard similar comments both privately and publicly. Several celebrities, including John Legend, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Howard Stern, have spoken out against West’s hateful rhetoric.
