Kanye West has attempted to explain why he designed and sold a T-shirt with a swastika emblem on it.
Returning to X after his explosive tweet storm during Super Bowl weekend, the rap legend addressed the controversy over his lengthy rant, which saw him attack Jewish people, praise Hitler and Nazism, and defend violence and sexual abuse against women.
Ye began by claiming that his “TWITTER RAMPAGE WAS 90% JEW PROOF” before explaining his comment: “WELL 2 YEARS AGO I TWEETED DEATHCON 3 ON THE JEWS IM SURE NO ONE REMEMBERS THAT [grinning face with sweat emoji].”
He added: “AND A FEW SPECIFIC JEWS NOT THE ENTIRE RACE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD BUT A FEW SPECIFIC JEWS CAME TOGETHER AND DID EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO DESTROY ME NOT PLAYING VICTIM JUST REFRESHING EVERYONES MEMORY. THIS TIME I PUSHED EVERY CANCELABLE IDEA POSSIBLE I PUSHED EVEY [sic] BOTTON I COULD.”
Kanye then turned his attention to his swastika T-shirt, saying: “IVE HAD MY SWASTIKA T SHIRT IDEA FOR OVER 8 YEARS IT WAS SO INTRIGUING TO ME THAT A SYMBOL HAD SO MUCH PROGRAMING IN IT.
“I REMEMBER GOING TO JAPAN AND GASPING WHEN I SAW WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE SWASTIKA ON CLOTHING IT FELT ILLEGAL TO EVEN LOOK AT IT THATS HOW I HAD BEEN PROGRAMMED I THEN FOUND OUT THAT SWASTIKA HAD MANY DIFFERENT MEANINGS AND MANY DIFFERENT NAMES.”

The Yeezy boss also revealed that his antisemitic rant had led to the departure of two employees and teased a feature on The Game‘s upcoming album The Documentary 3.
“I WILL WRITE THIS MORE POETICALLY IN A BIT CAUSE RIGHT NOW IM FINISHING MY VERSE FOR GAME’S ALBUM,” he continued. “THE IDEA OF BEING JEW PROOF IS I SAID ALL THESE POLITICALLY INCORRECT THINGS AND NOBODY WAS ABLE TO STOP ME EXTORT ME THREATEN ME TO CHANGE ANYTHING AND I MADE 40 MILLION THE NEXT DAY BETWEEN MY DIFFERENT BUSINESS.
“THERE’S I LOT OF JEWISH PEOPLE I KNOW AND LOVE AND STILL WORK WITH. THE POINT I MADE AND SHOWED IS THAT I AM NOT UNDER JEWISH CONTROL ANYMORE IN WAR YOU TAKE A COUPLE LOSES [sic] I LOST ONE OF MY FAVORITE YEEZY DESIGNERS NAMED SIMON HE TAILORED THE GRAMMY DRESS.
“THIS WAS A MAJOR LOSS WE LOST MALCOM WHO WAS OUR LEAD STYLIST AND SHOPPER WHO ALSO FOUND SIMON MAYBE ONE DAY THEY WILL UNDERSTAND WHY I HAD TO DO WHAT I DID AND ONE DAY THEY WILL FORGIVE MY METHOD.”
Kanye also addressed his Shopify account being terminated due to the controversial garment: “YEEZY WAS ALSO DROPPED BY SHOPIFY THIS WAS A MAJOR VICTORY BECAUSE I HATE SHOPIFY AND I ALWAYS HAVE I NEW THEY WOULD DO SOME PUSSY SHIT LIKE THIS.
“ANYONE WHO’S ON SHOPIFY JUST KNOW THEY CONTROL YOUR MARKET AND THEY HAVE ALL OF YOUR DATA WHICH RAISES THE VALUE OF SHOPIFY WHILE EXCLUDING THE BRANDS FROM THAT UPSIDE HARLEY FINKELSTEIN PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I BASICALLY HAVE THAT RIGHT I KNOW I DIDN’T GRAJATATE.”
Like the rest of his recent content, Ye’s posts have since been deleted.
The swastika T-shirt isn’t the only item of Yeezy clothing that has caused a stir of late. After calling for Diddy to be freed from jail, Kanye began selling the same hoodie that was worn by Cassie when she was brutally attacked by the disgraced mogul in 2016.
The Chicago native later boasted that he had made over $30,000 in revenue from sales of the hoodie and even attempted to justify the horrific assault, calling it an act of “true love.”
This is old news also the symbol is used elsewhere and is no problem. Why is it a problem to use a swastika but to promote Satan is OK? Upside down crosses and baphomets are all over the place the Satan statue is in government buildings. Everyone else can run gotcha campaigns with Satan but Ye can’t run with this?
Because Satan isn’t real you moron. WW2 was. People including Americans died just for you to say stupid shit like this
Satan is to real. He’s our current president. Hail Satan 😈
@Oosh I’m so sorry for your TDS. Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. Start by taking the orange dick out your mouth
Well put. Seriously people, think critically ffs. Satan is mythical told through stories and is obviously fictitious, while the Holocaust actually happened. You know, where over 6 million people were put to death solely because of their ethnicity, but only after they were tortured through mistreatment, malnourishment, and some of the most egregious atrocities a human being could experience. Imagine your 5 year old child being ripped from your arms to be put to death in another chamber where you don’t even get to die together and you’re completely helpless to it. Unbelievable this is where we are with this and simps online peddle nonsense like it never happened or wasn’t a big deal. Humans are gross.
His creativity has also been on decline over the last 8 years.
How? He wants to make droam, affordable housing, schools, true education, and actial.paradise but his creation just doesn’t align with your brainwashed matrix mind
“Affordable housing” isn’t that the nice term for a slum lord? The schools he makes are just a side hustle for his cult that brain wash people like you into thinking hate is the new cool. Selling retardation isn’t creativity. You are using all the buzz words that are floating around in this new ultra right online fascism. All the dirt will come to the light.
You just made the internet dumber. Congratulations
I will write this off as trolling 🤣….brainwashed 🤣🤣🤣
🤢🤮
Well to his credit he did make that black skinhead song about 12 years ago so he’s technically not lying.
Ye’dolf resorts to behaving like a special needs child to promote his shitty albums because his music is absolute trash
What shifty albums? He.has number 1s like Vultures and he discovered the drill sound putting Young Chop and all the chiraq boys on a national scale he actually helped a ton of younger people who were snubbed by the industry like Vory or JPEG and even X letting X share revenue on their tracks but instead you’d rather hate him because zionists tell you to and you live in suburban America in the streets we know what he says is true but you want narratives to line up
Goat need to collab with Lil Darkie and Dave Blunts
Get Darkie’s name out your mouth
this n!qq@ is literally what eminem would have been if he were black! Listen to kanye and listen to eminem Hailey song on Eminem Show, dude is black eminem!
