In The Trouble with KanYe, which launches tonight UK time on BBC Two and is paired with a podcast, the rapper’s former business partner Alex Klein accuses him of anti-Jewish remarks when the pair parted ways.
“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,” Klein says in the documentary. “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”.
In the BBC documentary, presenter Mobeen Azhar travels to Cornerstone Christian Church in California where West is known to visit. While there, he meets a man living in his car outside the church who said West had asked him to be his 2024 Presidential Election Campaign Manager. The homeless man, Mark, said that West regularly visits the church where white nationalist Nick Fuentes is known to hold political meetings. John Boyd, who ran West’s 2020 presidential campaign, also features in the documentary.
