Kanye West has come under fire for rocking a German Reich logo t-shirt that has ties to the Nazi party.
TMZ captured photos of Ye shopping with his new wife, Bianca Censori, at Balenciaga earlier this week in a lavish Beverly Hills mall.

Under his black jacket, Kanye donned a white t-shirt emblazoned with the German Reich and coat of arms that was allegedly used by Nazis before adopting the swastika logo.
“Bundeswehr” can also be seen above the coat of arms, which is reportedly translated to the “federal defense forces” in Germany.
Apparently, there are no hard feelings between Kanye West and Balenciaga as he had no issues blowing a check in the designer store after the French fashion house dropped him following his antisemitic remarks in October.
“Balenciaga has no longer any relationship nor any plans for future projects related to this artist,” Balenciaga’s parent company, Kering, said in a statement in October to sever ties to all partnerships with Ye.

He previously walked in the brand’s muddy fashion show to kick off Paris Fashion Week last year.
Regardless, Kanye could also be showing support to his close friend and collaborator Demna, who still serves as the creative director at Balenciaga.
It was another public outing for Ye and new boo Bianca Censori. Over the weekend, Kanye and the YEEZY architect dined at the bougie hot spot NoBu in Malibu alongside the rapper and producer’s daughter, North.
Kanye tied the knot with Bianca Censori in a private ceremony at the top of 2023, but it seems the couple hasn’t yet filed a marriage certificate to make it legal.

The Chicago mogul and Censori have made plans to have him meet his wife’s family in Australia at some point in the near future, but the Aussie government may stop Ye from entering the country due to his antisemitic remarks.
Australia has a long history of turning away people with antisemitic beliefs and Kanye might fall into that category as he’s expected to have to apply for a visa to step foot in the Land Down Under.
