'Kanye West Is Like Hitler!' Howard Stern Slams Rapper Amid Continuous Controversial Statements
Kanye West seemingly blasts everyone in his vision, but Howard Stern disapproves of it.
Stern became the latest personality to call out West as the rapper lets go of damaging and derogatory statements against several people.
On Wednesday's episode of Stern's SiriusXM radio show (via Mediaite), he called the "Jesus Is King" rapper the new "Hitler" and said he almost does not want to give energy to his current character.
"I don't know much about Kanye West. I'm not big into the rap scene, but he is... I'm really tired of people excusing his behavior by saying, 'Well, he's just mentally ill,'" the host said.
Stern talked about the rapper's appearance on Chris Cuomo's show, saying that West's self-defense claims and his mental illness are s-t. He shared with his viewers a snippet from that particular interview where Kim Kardashian's ex-husband ranted about not being called a billionaire or tycoon because of the "Jewish underground media mafia."
Because of West's "depressing" statements, Stern shared how the rapper went from being fun and crazy to being Hitler-like.
Stern's comments directed at West's anti-Semitic posts and interviews this month caused the rapper to lose his Instagram account.
West continuously showed his hatred toward Jews in the past weeks.
Kanye West Says "Sorry Not Sorry"
Stern's outrage came after West sat down for an interview with Piers Morgan in his "Piers Morgan Uncensored" on the same day.
When the British journalist asked him about his racist comments that insulted Jewish people, West continuously defended himself and said he was not sorry for what he said.
He also declared that he fought "fire with fire."
Something seemingly changed as he offered an apology later in the interview.
"I will say I'm sorry for the people that I hurt. I feel like I cause hurt and confusion, and I'm sorry for the families of the people that had nothing to do with the trauma that I had been through and that I use my platform where you say, 'Hurt people hurt people,' and I was hurt," he continued.
In similar news, West also got sued by George Floyd's daughter in a $250 million lawsuit due to his comments about the African-American man, claiming he died of fentanyl and not because police knelt on his neck.
The statement reportedly caused "harassment, misappropriation, defamation, and infliction of emotional distress" to the bereaved family.
