British comedian Jimmy Carr has sparked debate after comparing Prince Harry to Kanye West during a recent stand-up performance, referencing both men's controversial associations with Nazi imagery. Carr's remarks, shared widely on social media, alluded to Prince Harry's infamous Nazi costume at a 2005 party and Kanye West's public statements and music touching on Nazi themes. The joke has drawn mixed reactions online, with some defending Carr's wit and others criticizing the comparison.
The incident has reignited discussion about Prince Harry's past scandal, which he has since apologized for and addressed in his memoir and interviews. Kanye West, meanwhile, has faced backlash for his comments and music, though he recently claimed to have renounced antisemitism. Carr, known for his provocative humor and past controversies, continues to be a prominent figure in British entertainment, with recent financial success and ongoing personal family disputes also making headlines.
