American television series The Idol has lashed out at Kim Kardashian's ex-husband Kanye West for his anti-Semitism scandal.
The Idol, in its shock finale on Sunday, took a brutal dig at the rapper, mentioning Kanye'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.
In December 2022, Kim Kardashian 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.
