Kanye West has put his foot in his mouth yet again, said EOnline​.com. The rapper, 34, was booed last week while performing at a music festival in England, when he launched into a rant comparing himself to Adolf Hitler. “I walk down the street, and people look at me like I’m f---ing insane, like I’m Hitler,” West told the crowd during a six-minute monologue. “But one day the light will shine through, and one day people will understand everything I ever did.”
