The mercurial hip-hop star allegedly mistreated Jewish employees inside his fashion company and compared himself to Adolf Hitler, according to a civil lawsuit filed Tuesday.

American rapper Kanye "Ye" West posted a series of antisemitic remarks on social media platform X (formerly Twitter ), calling himself "a Nazi" and describing Adolf Hitler as "fresh," on Friday. Newsweek reached out to the Anti-Defamation League, StopAntisemitism, and X's press teams for comment via email on Friday.

The employee, who filed a complaint against Ye and his company Yeezy in California's Superior Court on Tuesday, accuses Ye and Yeezy of discrimination, harassment and retaliation on account of her sex and Jewish religion.
