Kanye West Mocked By Lily-Rose Depp’s Character In ‘The Idol’ Finale Over Anti-Semitic Remarks: Controversy Surrounds Rapper’s Appreciation For Hitler

Kanye West faced mockery for his involvement in anti-Semitic scandals during the finale of the television series “The Idol.” The 46-year-old rapper, who had previously been dropped by several prominent brands and sued by a former employee over alleged instances of praising Hitler and Nazism in business meetings, became the subject of a joke in the controversial HBO series. The character Jocelyn, portrayed by Lily-Rose Depp, a pop star in the show, referenced Kanye West’s alleged admiration for Adolf Hitler during the Sunday finale.

Background on Kanye West’s Anti-Semitic Controversies

Kanye West’s troubles with anti-Semitic comments began in November, when he was accused by an ex-employee of expressing support for Hitler and Nazi ideologies during various business meetings. This led to his dismissal from multiple prominent brands and a subsequent lawsuit. During the finale of “The Idol,” Jocelyn’s agent remarks on Kanye West’s past success in filling arenas until he apparently embraced Adolf Hitler. The reference alludes to Jocelyn’s character falling under the influence of the sleazy nightclub owner Tedros, played by Abel ‘The Weeknd’ Tesfaye.

Kanye West entered into a settlement agreement with the former employee who made the allegations, although he denied the claims outlined in the settlement. It was reported that Kanye had initially considered naming his 2018 album ‘Hitler’ after the disgraced world leader but ultimately changed his mind for unknown reasons. Additionally, Kanye was known for controversial statements, including an infamous TMZ interview where he argued that slavery was a “choice” and allegedly professed his love for Hitler and Nazis.

Reactions and Consequences

Following Kanye West’s series of anti-Semitic posts on Twitter, he faced significant backlash and was ultimately banned from the platform. Numerous companies, including Adidas, Gap, Balenciaga, JPMorgan Chase, and Vogue, severed their ties with the rapper due to his outbursts. Despite having bipolar disorder, Kanye later stood by his remarks when asked if he regretted making anti-Semitic comments. During the controversy, his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her family members publicly denounced his statements. Khloé Kardashian, his former sister-in-law, expressed her support for her “Jewish friends and the Jewish people” on Instagram.

In the finale of “The Idol,” Lily-Rose Depp’s character Jocelyn took a dig at Kanye West by referencing his reported appreciation for Adolf Hitler, highlighting the rapper’s involvement in anti-Semitic controversies. This incident reflects the consequences faced by Kanye West in the aftermath of his controversial statements and their impact on his personal and professional life.
