Kanye West's anti-Semitic rant is nothing new, according to his former staff.
For numerous years, the "All Of The Lights" rapper has been saying unsettling things in the workplace, and he has apparently paid off a colleague to keep him quiet about his racist conduct.
According to NBC News, the troubled musician and businessman reached a settlement deal with a former employee who claimed to have heard Kanye praising Adolf Hitler or the Nazis during business meetings.
Six more people have claimed to have heard Kim Kardashian's ex-husband expressed conspiracy theories against Jewish people or glorify Hitler in business situations in the previous five years, according to the site.
Ryder Ripps, an artist who worked with the Yeezy creator on and off from 2014 to 2018, was the only individual who talked on the record.
The musician believes he sought to counter Kanye's views since he is Jewish, but he never believed his remarks were hazardous.
"Nazis are fantastic at propaganda," Ryder overheard Kanye remark, adding that the "Goldigger" rapper also said to him in 2018: "You're not insulted that like I'm interested in Nazis or anything."
Though Ryder previously did not take Kanye seriously, he has changed his mind after hearing the "N*ggas In Paris" rapper's anti-Semitic sentiments have increased on social media and in interviews in recent weeks.
He told NBC, "This is dangerous, and disgusting, and actually violent."

However, this is not the first time that people have come out to reveal Kanye West's infatuation with Hitler and the Nazis.
CNN reported last week that numerous sources said the father-of-four planned to call his 2018 album "Hitler," but he changed his mind for an unexplained reason.
Kanye also allegedly spoke freely about reading "Mein Kampf," the Nazi Party leader's 1925 autobiographical autobiography.
"He would admire Hitler by expressing how fantastic it was that he was able to gain so much power and would talk about all the great things he and the Nazi Party did for the German people," Kanye's former coworker added.
Kanye West has lost his billionaire title as a result of his recent utterances. Adidas, Balenciaga, Gap, and Vogue reportedly cut relations with him following his remarks.
