It appears that the tables have turned as Kanye West's own fans are turning against him in a popular online forum after his recent comments about Hitler.

After appearing on "InfoWars" with Alex Jones earlier this week, the rapper's fans as well as Taylor Swift's supporters have been taking over a dedicated Reddit page called "r/Kanye."

Instead of defending the musician, they have been sharing appreciation for the "Paper Rings" hitmaker and sharing educational materials about the Holocaust.

One user shared a photo of Swift with the caption, "This is now a Taylor Swift Subreddit. We had a good run fellas," that amassed thousands of upvotes from other users. (via Billboard)

There were also users who petitioned to change the subreddit name to "Kanye (Taylor's Version)."

For those more serious fans, many users have been clearing up the misinformation West had been reportedly spreading on social media and interviews by sharing details and graphic information about the Holocaust.

As of this writing, the rapper has not publicly commented about the recent subreddit issue.

Kanye West's Recent Issue

The big change within the rapper's subreddit comes after his interview with Jones where he made controversial comments, saying he sees "good things about Hitler."

The "Donda" hitmaker also said, "Jewish people are not going to tell me, 'You can love us and you can love what we're doing to you with the contracts, and you can love what we're pushing with the pornography.'"

Elsewhere in their conversation, West doubled down his comments by saying he didn't like the word "evil" being associated with Nazis and that although he loves Jewish people, he also "love Nazis."

"I do love Hitler. I do love the Zionists," he declared.

After the interview's release, the topic "Kanye" and "Infowars" became the biggest stories online as it immediately dominated the trending topics spot on Twitter and Google Trends as clips from the video made rounds on social media.

Later that day, West took to his official Twitter account to share an image of what appears to be a swastika inside a Star of David.

Elon Musk disapproved of the rapper's action and explained in a post that the rapper violated the platform's "rule against incitement to violence," which led to his account being suspended again.
