Journalist Mobeen Azhar, who fronted the broadcaster’s Battle For Britney documentary, presents The Trouble With KanYe.
It looks at the musician, now legally known as Ye, and his 2024 US presidential campaign.
Klein, who created music streaming platform and remix device Stem Player in collaboration with Ye, which released the Donda 2 album, told Azhar about the alleged reaction his former business partner had when they parted ways.
He said: “We turned down 10 million dollars. Kanye was very angry you know, he was saying ‘I feel like I wanna smack you’, and ‘You’re exactly like the other Jews’ – almost relishing and revelling in how offensive he could be, using these phrases hoping to hurt me.
“I asked him and I said ‘Do you really think Jews are working together to hold you back?’
“And he said ‘Yes, yes I do, but it’s not even a statement that I need to take back because look at all the energy around me right now. Without that statement, I wouldn’t become president’.”
