The 46-year-old is once again in hot water due to claims made in a new BBC Two documentary titled The Trouble with KanYe.

The doc, which kicked off on Tuesday night, features Alex Klein- the man who helped Kanye with his Stem Player for his Donda 2 album, and he had plenty to say on the hitmaker.
The business duo went their separate ways after Kanye’s previous antisemitic remarks, and according to Alex, this led to the music star lashing out on him.
“Kanye was very angry you know, he was saying ‘I feel like I wanna smack you’ and ‘you’re exactly like the other Jews’ – almost relishing and reveling in how offensive he could be, using these phrases hoping to hurt me,” Alex claimed in the new documentary.
He continued: “I asked him and I said ‘Do you really think Jews are working together to hold you back?’ and he said ‘Yes, yes I do but it’s not even a statement that I need to take back because look at all the energy around me right now. Without that statement, I wouldn’t become president.”
Kanye, who ran a failed campaign for president in 2020, apparently is ready to try his hand again at being “leader of the free world” in 2024.
This is not the first time that Kanye’s ex business partner has made wild claims against him.
In 2022, Alex shared with the LA Times that Kanye “tried to call me racist when I gently told him that attacking a whole race of people wasn’t good for him or Stem.”
The U.S. Sun has reached out to Kanye’s rep for comment.
DOWNFALL
Kanye’s career took a damaging hit in 2022 when he shocked the world by making antisemitic comments.
Back in October of that year, the Yeezy founder was dropped by Adidas and barred from various social media sites at least temporarily for his comments online and in interviews, including controversial fashion choices.
During an episode of podcast Drink Champs, Kanye stated: “I can say antisemitic things, and Adidas can’t drop me. Now what? Now what?”
Weeks earlier Kanye had called out the company online, taunting their Chief Executive Officer Kasper Rorsted.
He wrote on Instagram at the time: “Ima use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me.”
Days later, he once again doubled down and said: “I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con [sic] 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE.”
Defcon is a military term used as an alert system by the US armed forces.
‘THAT’S WHY I SAID IT’
During an interview with Piers Morgan, Kanye refused to apologize for his tweet.
“Racism is racism and you know that I think, don’t you?” Piers said during the interview.
“Yes, obviously, that’s why I said it,” Kanye responded at the time.
The host asked for confirmation: “So, you said it knowing it’s racist?”
“Yes,” replied Ye.
He added: “I fought fire with fire. I’m not here to get hosed down. I’m a different type of freedom fighter.”
Kanye eventually acknowledged that he caused “hurt and confusion” to people who were affected by his rant after two hours of Pier’s probing.
“I will say I’m sorry for the people that I hurt with the ‘def con’ … I feel like I caused hurt and confusion.”
YE GOES OFF AGAIN
Kanye, however, would once again cause chaos in December 2022 when he appeared to glorify Hitler and the Nazis in a masked interview on Alex Jones’ far-right show Infowars.
“I see good things about Hitler, also,” Kanye said.
He added: “I love everyone, this guy invented highways, the microphone, every human has something of value they brought to the table, especially Hitler.
“Also, Hitler was born Christian.”
The performer also praised the ruthless dictator’s party, adding: “They did good things too. We have to stop dissing the Nazis all the time.
“The Jewish media has made us feel like the Nazis and Hitler have never offered anything of value to the world.”
Kanye said he didn’t like the way the word “evil” was associated with the Nazis.
“I love Jewish people, but I also love Nazis,” he commented.
Kanye- whose divorce to Kim Kardashian was finalized in November 2022, is now married to Bianca Censori.
