Former TMZ Staver says star praised Hitler, podcast kills interview

Van Lathan Jr. — who confronted Kanye West during his disgraceful 2018 talk at the TMZ office when West said 400 Years of Slavery “sounds like an option” — announced Tuesday in his podcast, Higher Education, that West also said he liked Hitler and the Nazis, but his Delete these notes.

Lathan, who previously worked at TMZ, said he was not surprised by West’s anti-Semitic posts on Instagram and Twitter over the weekend because he was aware of West’s alleged beliefs from their interaction at TMZ.

Lathan said West “said something like, ‘I love Hitler, I love Nazis,'” something to that effect. And they took her out of the interview for whatever reason—that wasn’t my decision, after some sort of conversation with West.

Lathan claimed that a producer at TMZ’s offices stood up and faced West, as did Lathan, and said, “I’m Jewish and that’s offensive to me, what I just said.”

As claimed by Lathan TMZ Videos The width of his confrontation with the West was modified; The producers allegedly left out a Lathan mention of people who died “due to Nazism and Hitler” because it “would make no sense unless they stayed in Kani saying he loved Hitler and the Nazis”.

West referred to the Jewish people and the Holocaust in his interview with TMZ, equated the association of the Holocaust with Jews with the association of slavery with blacks, and claimed that “imprisonment is something” that unites “blacks and whites as one race.”
