‘The Idol’ finale takes a dig at Kanye West for ‘following Adolf Hitler’

“The Idol” finally came to an end – but not before throwing some shade at Kanye West.

HBO’s controversial series, which stars Lily-Rose Depp as a pop star named Jocelyn, referenced West’s reported appreciation for Adolf Hitler during Sunday’s finale.

In the final episode, Depp’s character put on a showcase for her management team in an attempt to convince them that she was ready to go back on tour.

“You know, f–king Kanye was filling arenas until he decided to start following Adolf Hitler,” her agent said, seemingly referencing Jocelyn’s relationship with Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye’s slimy character, Tedros.

In the series, Tedros preys on Depp’s troubled pop idol character and the pair engage in extremely graphic sex scenes.

Despite backlash from both fans and TV critics, The Weeknd has continued to defend the show, even telling Variety lat month that the heavy criticism was “very much expected.”

“We’re playing with genres with this show, we’re doing exactly what we wanted to do,” he explained.

As for West, he was sued by an ex-employee last November over multiple instances in which he allegedly praised Hitler and Nazism in various business meetings.

The Yeezy founder, 46, entered a settlement agreement with the employee and denied the claims made in the settlement. It later came to light that West allegedly wanted to name his 2018 album “Hitler” after the disgraced world leader – but changed his mind for unknown reasons, CNN reported.

West also allegedly professed his love for the German dictator in the same TMZ interview that he infamously argued that slavery was “a choice.”

“He said something like, ‘I love Hitler, I love Nazis.’ Something to that effect,” Van Lathan recalled on his “Higher Learning” podcast last October.

Lathan recalled a Jewish staff member at the tabloid allegedly challenging the “Stronger” rapper over his anti-Semitic comments. West reportedly left with unchanged views.

“When I saw [the new tweets], I was like, ‘Oh, I knew that this was eventually coming.’ As a matter of fact, I had anticipated it coming, like, way earlier than this,” the podcaster said, referencing West’s slew of anti-Semitic posts which got him banned from the platform last Fall.

Celebrities were quick to denounce the musician’s behavior, while companies like Adidas, Gap, Balenciaga, JPMorgan Chase and Vogue severed their working ties with him.

The multi-Grammy award winner, who has bipolar disorder, later doubled down on his remarks when asked if he was sorry about making anti-Semitic comments.

West’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, and her family members even spoke out against him in a rare move at the time. The rapper’s ex sister-in-law Khloé Kardashian wrote on Instagram that she supports her “Jewish friends and the Jewish people.”
