A Jewish businessman ended his association with Kanye West after the rapper allegedly subjected him to antisemitic abuse.
Alex Klein, who worked with West around the time of his 2021 album Donda, told the BBC he was racially abused while working for the troubled rapper.
He said: “He [Kanye] was saying ‘I feel like I wanna smack you’ and ‘you’re exactly like the other Jews’ – almost relishing and revelling in how offensive he could be, using these phrases hoping to hurt me.”
“I asked him: ‘do you really think Jews are working together to hold you back?’ and he said ‘yes, yes I do.”
