Kanye West receives fresh backlash

The Idol, American television series, has took a brutal dig at Kanye West for his anti-Semitism scandal in its shock finale on Sunday.

The controversial drama mentioned the American rapper's admiration for Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and vile ant-Semitic rants in a scene which saw Lily Rose Depp's character Jocelyn put on a showcase for her management team to convince them she was ready to tour.

In the scene, her agent, referencing Jocelyn's relationship with The Weeknd's character Tedros, said: "You know, f*****g Kanye was filling arenas until he decided to start following Adolf Hitler."

West, officially known as Ye, was banned from Twitter and lost a series of lucrative sponsorship deals after his social media rants last year.

In December 2022, Kim Kardashian's ex-husband West sparked massive reactions with his comments as the rapper said he 'likes' and 'loves' Hitler', defended Nazis and denied the Holocaust during an unhinged appearance on podcast Infowars.
