Kanye West sued by former Jewish employee after calling himself Hitler

American rapper Kanye West recently witnessed a spike of hate across social media after going on a series of anti-Semitic posts on Musk’s X (formerly known as Twitter), advertising a $20 Swastika t-shirt during his Super Bowl ad and praising the late Nazi leader, Adolf Hitler. 

Additionally, Kanye West who goes by the name “Ye” found himself in hot water after a former Jewish employee sued him claiming that the rapper allegedly threatened her because of her faith and likened himself to Hitler during the incident. During her statement, Ye’s former employee added that she was fired the day after.

The former employee, Jane Doe filed a complaint at the Los Angeles County Superior Court on Feb. 11, 2025. The lawsuit includes that Kaney “carried out a calculated campaign to threaten and psychologically torment Jewish people around him, especially Plaintiff.”

Doe was allegedly a marketing strategist for the American rapper in late 2023, around the time Kanye West apologized in Hebrew for the Jewish community amid his previous anti-Semitic rant.

Ye allegedly called Doe a “bitch” and “ugly” after spewing hate speech towards her religion. The lawsuit also adds that the controversial rapper shared a picture of a naked woman in a group chat that Doe was present in 2024.

A chat log swarmed several social media outlets of their conversation, showcasing Kanye’s condescending language towards Doe.

Kanye’s recent social media activity had several celebrities such as Friends star David Schwimmer, Matthew Koma, and Charlie Puth demanding the American rapper stop posting. By the time of writing this article, Kanye West had deactivated his X account and disabled his Yeezy website where he sold the Swastika t-shirt.

Matthew Koma, Hillary Duff’s husband, also released a $20 t-shirt to counter Kanye West’s offensive behavior.
