- West ultimately released the album under the name ‘Ye’

Kanye West has long admired Nazi leader Adolph Hitler, and once wanted to name an album after him, insiders claim.
Sources close to the now disgraced rapper told CNN how West was ‘obsessed’ with Hitler and even wanted to name his 2018 hit album after him — before ultimately releasing it under the name ‘Ye.’
‘He would praise Hitler by saying how incredible it was that he was able to accumulate so much power, and would talk about all the great things he and the Nazi Party achieved for the German people,’ a former business executive said.
The unnamed source claimed that people in West’s inner circle were ‘fully aware’ of his interest in Hitler, as he would speak openly about reading Mein Kampf, Hitler’s 1925 manifesto, and expressed his ‘admiration’ for the Nazis for their propaganda.
As a result, the business executive said, West created a hostile work environment, leading him to ultimately quit.
He is said to have reached a settlement with Ye and some of his companies over workplace complaints, including harassment, and asked not to be named due to a confidentiality agreement and fear of retribution.
As part of the agreement, CNN reports, West denied the accusations lodged against him.
