A former TMZ staffer said he was unsurprised by Kanye West's troubling antisemitic language recently, claiming the rapper made comments praising "Hitler and the Nazis" in a previous, edited interview at the celebrity gossip site.
Van Lathan, the host of the Higher Learning podcast, said West sat down with TMZ for an interview and claimed the rapper said he "loved Hitler and the Nazis." According to Mr Lathan, that portion was cut out of the interview.
