Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, used a Super Bowl commercial to direct people to his website where he was selling T-shirts with a black swastika, the symbol of Nazi Germany. The website only featured these T-shirts on its front page, with no text or explanation, priced at $20. A representative for Ye did not comment on the controversial items. This news came as Ye’s X account, where he had been posting antisemitic messages, was deactivated. The Anti-Defamation League criticized the T-shirt sales as evidence of Ye’s antisemitism, as the swastika is associated with Hitler’s regime. The shirt was labeled as “HH-01,” seen as code for “Heil Hitler.”
Ye’s @kanyewest account, existing since 2010, was also deactivated, with Ye stating he was logging out of X, thanking Elon Musk for allowing him to express himself. Despite previously stating he would never sell a swastika shirt, Ye began offering them for sale on his website over the weekend. He continued to post offensive antisemitic tweets, leading to condemnation from the ADL. Ye had previously been locked out of his Twitter/X account in 2022 for similar reasons.
