Rapper Kanye West, who currently goes by the name Ye, has praised Adolf Hitler in an interview published Thursday on the far-right blog “Infowars”, where he has denied the existence of the Holocaust and made anti-Semitic comments.

West appeared with his face fully covered by a ski mask and his hands covered with gloves in that interview broadcast on “Infowars” by broadcaster and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

” You’re not Hitler, you’re not a Nazi,” Jones began, to which the rapper replied that he sees ” good things ” about the dictator.

” All human beings have value to bring to the table, especially Hitler,” West said at another point in the interview.

Later the singer clarified that he is not really that interested in Hitler, but that he considers him “a great guy”, with a “great outfit” and that he was a “great architect”.

Before a commercial break, Jones told him that he had a fetish for Hitler, to which the artist replied: ” I like Hitler.”

He assured that “what happened was not a Holocaust, let’s look at the facts about that. Hitler has many positive qualities.” In addition, he denied that the dictator killed six million Jews, “that is factually incorrect.”

In another moment, the rapper indicated that he does not like the word “evil” next to Nazi: “I like Jewish people, but I also love Nazis. ”
