Kanye Paid Settlement to Ex-Employee Who Accused Him of Anti-Semitism

Kanye West’s anti-Semitic remarks have put a sizable dent in his wallet.

According to documents reviewed by NBC News, the polarizing artist paid a settlement to a former employee who accused of him using bigoted speech in the workplace. The accuser spoke on the condition of anonymity, as they had signed a non-disclosure agreement; however, the network reportedly reviewed the settlement documents as well as proof of the payout the ex-employee had received.

News of the settlement comes about a week after CNN published a piece about Kanye’s alleged fascination with Adolf Hitler and Nazi Party. The outlet reported Kanye had reached a settlement deal with an ex-executive who ultimately left his position because of the rapper’s “obsession” with the German dictator, whose years-long reign led to the deaths of millions of Jewish people in the 1930s and ’40s. NBC News has yet to confirm that settlement, as it “appears to be separate from the case of the former employee who shared settlement documents” with the network.
