There is a valid connection between the famous artist Kanye West and the German Philosopher Frederic Nietzsche, and it is in the form of Kanye West 2007 hit ‘Stronger’.
Within the song there is a line saying: “That dont kill me can only make me stronger”. This comes from Frederic Nietzsche’s quote “what does not kill me make me stronger” taken from his ‘Twilight of the Idols’. The song ‘Stronger’ references to Nietzsche and Charles Darwin and also “God”.
