Howard Stern Compares Kanye West To Hitler: 'Tired Of People Excusing His Behavior'

Howard Stern took a swipe at Kanye West over his recent anti-Semitic remarks.

During the Wednesday episode of his "SiriusXM" show, the designer compared the rapper to Adolf Hitler and said he's "tired of people excusing" West's behavior.

"I almost don't want to give any energy to this Kanye West character," he said. "I don't know much about Kanye West. I'm not big into the rap scene, but he is... I'm really tired of people excusing his behavior by saying, 'Well, he's just mentally ill.'"

The host talked about the "Ye" singer's recent guesting on Chris Cuomo's self-titled show, where he got into a heated argument with Cuomo over anti-Semitism and seemed not to be sorry for his comments.

Stern questioned those who condone West's behavior on the excuse that he's mentally ill, saying if that's the case, then he should have a conservator over his assets, just like what happened to Britney Spears.

Stern also played a clip from the interview in which West blamed the "Jewish underground media mafia" for why he's never called a billionaire or tycoon in news articles.

"Guess what, douchebag? When they write about me, they call me the shock jock. You don't have control over... you are a rapper. That is what you are. That's how you became famous," said Stern. "If a newspaper article doesn't point out the fact that you're some sort of designer or genius, maybe that's not because he's Jewish, but maybe because he just doesn't put that much thought into who the f*** you are and what your business is," he continued.

"This is so depressing. I mean, Kanye used to be fun crazy. Now he's like Hitler," Stern added.

West's recent anti-Semitic remarks led to his account being restricted on Instagram. Meta also deleted content from his page for violating the social media platform's rules and guidelines.

The same thing happened to his Twitter account, which was later restricted after a tweet violated the company's rules. The American Jewish Committee (AJC) also called out West's anti-Semitic language, saying the rapper should figure out a way to make his point without being anti-Semitist.
