Kanye West

<p>No one is quite sure what end game <a href="/profile/KanyeWest" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Kanye West</a> is aiming for, but the rapper is shocking the world. Earlier today (December 1), West joined Alex Jones for a conversation that is still garnering reactions. During the exchange, Jones attempted to dispel allegations that West is a Nazi. Instead, the <em>Donda</em> hitmaker revealed himself to be a Nazi apologist while <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/606714-kanye-west-to-alex-jones-i-like-hitler" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">also praising Adolf Hitler</a>.</p>



<p>Not long after the video circulated, far-right social media platform Parler made an announcement. West was reportedly in negotiations <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/441389-kanye-west-to-buy-conservative-social-media-platform-parler-in-groundbreaking-deal" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">to purchase the app</a>, but the company now says that it is no longer an option. </p>

<p>&#8220;In response to numerous media inquiries, Parlement Technologies would like to confirm that the company has mutually agreed with Ye to terminate the intent of sale of Parler,&#8221; the company tweeted. &#8220;This decision was made in the interest of both parties in mid-November.&#8221;</p>



<p>A reason why the deal was axed wasn&#8217;t shared, but West has fallen into <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/605935-kanye-west-says-the-irs-froze-his-accounts-for-owing-50-million-in-taxes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">severe money troubles</a>. His anti-Semitic takes have caused a global firestorm, and one by one, his partnerships dwindled. Subsequently, West accused <a href="/tags/adidas" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Adidas</a> of freezing his bank accounts, only to blame the IRS later.</p>

<p>During his conversation with Alex Jones, Ye said, &#8220;I see good things about Hitler.&#8221; He added, &#8220;I like Hitler,&#8221; and explained how the genocidal, tyrannical dictator contributed to society. Elsewhere, he continued to spew anti-Semitism.</p>



<p>Following the broadcast, several tweets sprung up on West&#8217;s Twitter account. He promoted his Christian faith by writing &#8220;Jesus is King,&#8221; but it wasn&#8217;t all about religion. West also made mention of the <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/396136-qanon-shaman-jacob-chansley-sentenced-revealed-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">January 6 insurrection</a> on the Capitol. Dozens of rioters were prosecuted for their involvement, and West now calls them &#8220;political prisoners.&#8221;</p>
