Jimmy Kimmel Names Kanye West ‘Adolf Twitler’ Amid Antisemitic Comments

Jimmy Kimmel took aim at Kanye West during his late night talk show, giving the rapper the nickname "Adolf Twitler." Get the details here.

During the monologue kicking off his late night talk show on Wednesday night (Feb. 12), Kimmel called Ye a “Nazi.” He added, “In the wake of his antisemitic spinout this weekend, Adolf Twitler was cut by his talent agency,” in reference to Ye’s former agent, 33 & West founder and partner Daniel McCartney, cutting ties with him “effective immediately” earlier in the day. Ye went on a four-day hate spree on X beginning last Friday (Feb. 7), in which he posted dozens of all caps screeds every hour that included homophobic, misogynistic ableist and antisemitic slurs, also calling for the freedom of Diddy and praising Hitler. During Super Bowl LIX, Ye aired a commercial in several markets, promoting Yeezy and encouraging fans to shop the marketplace.
