Why is any element in $rad(kG)$ nilpotnet?

I am reading proof of Brauer's theorem and I came across this result that any element of $rad(kG)$ is nilpotent. Why is this true?
$rad$ is Jacobson radical and $kG$ is group algebra over field $k$. Further $G$ is finite and $k$ is splitting field of $G$.
