Kanye West is selling $20 T-shirts with swastikas

Rapper Kanye West has deactivated his X account, bought an ad that aired during the Super Bowl and is now selling T-shirts with swastikas on his Yeezy website.

Kanye West is currently selling T-shirts with swastikas on his website, capping off a wild, hate-filled week for the rapper highlighted by posts on his X account. The website received fresh promotion Sunday when West, who changed his name to Ye, bought a local TV ad during the Super Bowl, appearing to show him sitting at the dentist’s office while recording a 30-second spot on an iPhone to push people to his Yeezy website. Although it aired during the Super Bowl, it wasn’t a national ad on Fox and only viewers in a few markets saw it, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Fox, which didn’t immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment, doesn’t have control over all the commercials that air on its affiliates. Shopify, the online platform that is handling orders of the $20 T-shirts, didn’t immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment. For the past few days, West has spewed virulently antisemitic, homophobic and misogynistic hate speech via his X account to his more than 32 million followers. Celebrities, Jewish groups, anti-hate organizations and other X accounts had pleaded with Elon Musk’s X platform to take action. Some of West’s X posts had visibility limitations placed on them, including those with homophobic statements and another one advocating for violence against Jews. A note attached to some posts said. “This post may violate X’s rules against hateful conduct,” adding that the post “can’t be replied to, shared or liked.”
