Kanye West faced ridicule in the finale of the HBO series 'The Idol' for his alleged anti-Semitic scandals. The 46-year-old rapper had previously been dropped by several major brands and was sued by a former employee over instances where he allegedly praised Hitler and nazism in business meetings.
In the finale of 'The Idol,' Lily-Rose Depp's character Jocelyn made a reference to Kanye's reported admiration for Adolf Hitler. During a showcase for her management team, Jocelyn's agent on the show said, "You know, f****** Kanye was filling arenas until he decided to start following Adolf Hitler."
This joke was seen as a nod to Jocelyn's character being manipulated by a sleazy nightclub owner. It has been reported that Kanye once wanted to name his 2018 album 'Hitler' but changed his mind for unknown reasons.
While Kanye entered a settlement agreement with the employee who accused him of praising Hitler, he denied the allegations made in the settlement. The rapper has also been known for his controversial statements, including his claim that slavery was a "choice."
The finale episode of 'The Idol' once again brought attention to Kanye's past controversies, igniting a new wave of mockery and criticism.
