NYT: Kanye advised a Jewish manager to kiss a picture of Hitler every day

[Teletubby 149,838]

Kanye West once advised a Jewish manager at Adidas to kiss a picture of Hitler every day and drew swastika on a shoe during a meeting at the company's headquarters in Germany, according to a New York Times investigation detailing the dramatic downfall of his mega-partnership with the shoe brand.

Among other revelations in the Times expose: he forced company execs to watch **** with him during a meeting in his New York apartment, he paid a “seven-figure” settlement to one of his own senior employees who accused him of repeatedly praising the architect of the Holocaust.”

He left colleagues aghast during one of his earliest meetings with Adidas in Germany in 2013 when he drew a swastika on a shoe to protest what he though were their sub-standard designs.

The report suggests that Kanye is also a fan of Hitler's propaganda as he repeatedly told the Adidas employees that Hitler had mastered the art of propaganda and often expressed his admiration by declaring the Nazi leader a master marketer.

Ye told a Jewish manager to hang a photo of Hitler in his kitchen and kiss it every day to practice unconditional love.

He was considering naming his next album “Hitler,” according to several former Adidas employees. (It was ultimately titled “Ye.”)

But, according to the picture painted by the Times, execs continually overlooked or ignored West’s problematic behavior in favor of the vast profits his shoe designs brought in

Probably also why that @$$, Chris Brown is still running around. Someone bigger than him is still profiting from his releases so they give him protection needed from law etc

He’s genuinely a scumbag

desperately trying to not be petty about folks on this site who still stuck up for him and looked the other way about things like this

Love that this happened in one of their first meetings and they were still like "...well "

I bet he has wet dreams about him every single night and wakes up only to realize it wasn't real and cries as he kisses a pic of him

If you're mentally ill and extremely rich weird things can happen. Normal person with this manic behavior would probably end up homeless, but not him. He remains... rich and crazy. But this is clearly a mentally ill person. Can not even be mad at him. Probably needs medication.

This is so disgusting. Also, sad that we all actually believe it to be true because of his past actions. Kanye doesn’t deserve anything he has in life.

He can rot

I mean he's right about the propaganda thing but that's not something to admire at all. 

I mourn the passing of Ms. Donda frequently; she wouldn't have let this happen.

This is totally f*** up omg, I dont want to apologize this awful behaviour but a friend of mine turned schizophrenic and as time passes his thoughts are more and more confused and he tends to mix everything in a mystic way and says strange things like this...

Yeah, it's one thing to study the way Hitler used his silver tongue to lead his nation and people into commiting horrible atrocities and it's another thing to admire him for it

Kanye needs help

Kanye's admiration for Hitler began before his mother died

West has been discussing his admiration for Hitler and what he sees as positive achievements of Nazi Germany for nearly two decades, describing it as a well-known but well-kept secret within the rapper’s inner circle.
In early studio sessions the then-26-year-old frequently discussed Hitler and Nazis and quizzed others on their thoughts, according to a 2003 music industry source who claims to have witnessed the conversations firsthand. “It was like a daily thing”.
In 2005 he successfully blocked a D.J. from distributing his unreleased songs from the 1990s, during deposition he suggested that the work contains anti-Semitist lyrics.
