Kanye West Celebrates Adolf Hitler’s Birthday With Antisemitic Remarks

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, is once again under fire after his public celebration of late German dictator Adolf Hitler‘s birthday.

On Sunday (April 20), Ye took to X to question members of the Jewish community deeming Hitler as the “antichrist” despite practicing Judaism.

“How can Jewish people define Hitler to be the anti christ when they are not Christian themselves,” the 48-year-old wrote on the platform, accounting for his latest incendiary antisemitic remark that has reignited public outrage.

In another post, he posted a photo of Hitler along with his birthday, which he noted coincides with the Easter holiday this year. However, Ye offered no clear explanation of what he meant by that particular connection.

The statements, widely condemned as deeply offensive and historically ignorant, adds to Ye’s troubling pattern of antisemitic rhetoric.

Despite the backlash, which has already cost him major brand partnerships and prompted widespread criticism, the artist shows no signs of walking back his beliefs. In fact, he previously doubled down on his stance, boasting of his perceived immunity to consequences from the Jewish community.

“The idea of being Jew-proof is I said all these politically incorrect things, and nobody was able to stop me, extort me, or threaten me to change anything,” he wrote on X in February. “And I made 40 million the next day between my different businesses.”

The controversial hitmaker also clarified that he’s not against members of the Jewish community as individuals and continues to work and collaborate with people of that background and faith.

“There’s a lot of Jewish people I know and love and still work with,” Ye added. “The point I made and showed is that I am not under Jewish control anymore. In war, you take a couple losses.”

This latest controversy has drawn renewed calls for accountability from fans, civil rights groups, and public figures alike. While Ye continues to claim freedom from “Jewish control,” critics argue his comments not only perpetuate dangerous stereotypes but also embolden hate speech and historical revisionism.

Once one of music’s most influential figures, Ye now faces increasing isolation, with many questioning how much longer his platform will endure under the weight of his own words.
