Initially, most people thought Kanye West was doing it for fun when he praised Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party. This is all serious stuff, as it has been going on for years, and he was obsessed with Hitler for a long time. According to the latest reports, the rapper expressed his admiration for Hitler while making his album The College Dropout, and even attempted to use Nazi propaganda strategies to boost his popularity.

Kanye West’s Decade-Old Love For Adolf Hitler

The controversial rapper Kanye West has been making headlines for a few months for behaving unapologetically constantly and making antisemitic remarks. An outcry over the rapper’s ‘White Lives Matter’ T-shirts quickly turned into an ugly controversy of antisemitic comments before he appeared on Alex Jones’ show to praise Hitler and the Nazis.

According to Rolling Stone, who decided to interview several of West’s former associates to dig deeper into this matter, the outlet discovered that West’s admiration for Hitler and the Nazis goes back almost two decades in 2004, which they describe as a well-kept secret within his inner circle.

A former West associate revealed he was shocked when Ye praised Hitler’s marketing skills during a 2015 business call.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, a source from the music industry said West has always tried to emulate the dictator’s control of the masses, and the source said,

“He was just so fascinated by [Hitler] – someone that can have complete control over people and how he did it. I think it was maybe the understanding of who Hitler was and how he created his army … I think [West] started almost to correlate how he could manipulate things to be, not the same level, but how he could try to get people to be his ‘army.'”

Another source revealed,

“If he felt you were trustworthy… there was a reasonably high likelihood that he would attempt to engage with you and evangelize his beliefs about Hitler and the Nazis to you.”

West did not talk about these fixations with everyone because a person had to be a part of his circle of trust for him to praise Hitler.
