Kanye West paid a settlement to a former employee who alleged that he praised Hitler and Nazis during business meetings, reports NBC News.
The embattled rapper, 45 – who has seen his career and reputation go into freefall after he vowed to go ‘death con 3 on Jewish people’ in a vile Twitter post last month – is said to have paid the employee after they allegedly witnessed ‘more than one’ instance in which he praised the fascist leader and his party.
The publication states that while West paid the employee, he denied the claims made by them in the agreement.
They also claimed they signed multiple NDAs while working with the musician.
NBC News reports they received proof the settlement had been paid to the employee.
Last week, in what appears to be a separate incident, West’s former business executive said the star created a hostile work environment with his anti-Semitic remarks, leading him to ultimately quit.
It was also claimed by one of the six people that they recalled ‘multiple instances dating back to 2019’ of West comparing himself to Hitler, blaming Jews for certain events and discussing ‘anti-Jewish conspiracy theories.’
This comes after a former TMZ employee claimed in a podcast last month that West made anti-Semitic comments that the outlet chose not to publish in 2018.
Speaking on his Higher Learning podcast, Van Lathan Jr said that when he confronted West over his remarks that slavery ‘sounds like a choice,’ West also spoke about his love of Nazis.
‘I already heard him say that stuff at TMZ,’ Lathan Jr said. ‘I mean, I was taken aback because that type of anti-Semitic talk is disgusting. It’s like, I’m taken a back any time anyone does that, right?
The former employee – who asked to remain anonymous due to signing a non-disclosure agreement – claims that West praised Hitler in 2018 during a meeting about apparel, alleging he said the tyrant ‘had some good qualities’ and that ‘he wasn’t all bad.’
They said: ‘He would kind of present things as like questions to ask people their opinion on something but then he would go really hard and aggressive on, like, what he thought about it and on really just topics that would upset people, like there were people always visibly upset.’
