Kanye West has resumed posting on social media about Nazism, just a day after claiming that he was no longer a Nazi — going so far as to say that he wants to bring his swastika T-shirt to the Super Bowl.
In his latest inflammatory tirade, Ye reiterated his recent (and highly improbable) claim that he would headline next year’s Super Bowl halftime show and added that he would wear the controversial item of clothing during his performance.

“Next year I’m performing at the superbowl wearing my wittle T shirt,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
The G.O.O.D. Music founder also spoke about wanting to become an official member of the Nazi Party and jokingly compared himself to the Dave Chappelle character Clayton Bigsby, a blind Black man who is a member of the Ku Klux Klan.
He then likened himself to the legendary comedian, who has been criticized (and even assaulted) for his comments about the LGBTQ community.
“Even Dave Chappell [sic] has been attacked on stage Free speech comes with a cost And I’m ready to pay any cost to say whatever the fuck I want to say Forever,” he wrote.

Kanye continued by posting a photo of Sex Pistols punk rocker Sid Vicious wearing a swastika T-shirt, applauded a video of right-wing figure Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute during a recent speech, and defended his adoption of Nazi imagery.
“When I use a swastika I render myself unusable to users,” he added. “The swastika to shows n-ggas that we don’t have to be afraid of white people. When I grew up in Chicago there were gang bangers who were scared to go downtown where the white people were.”

Ye also stood by his previous controversial comments, which have included praising Hitler, attacking Jewish people and defending violence and abuse against women.
“I stand on everything I said,” he declared. “And nobody finna ever make me apologize again.”
Kanye West has spent much of the last two weeks making antisemitic remarks, including selling T-shirts printed with the swastika emblem.
The move led to Shopify taking down his Yeezy website, although Ye has since claimed that his account has been restored.
In a bizarre twist, the rap legend claimed earlier this week that after “further reflection” he came to the conclusion that he was “not a Nazi,” which appeared to be inspired by Adam Sandler.
While performing a song during SNL‘s 50th anniversary special last weekend, the actor and comedian (who is Jewish) joked: “50 years of finding out your favorite musician is antisemitic.”
Ye responded on X: “Adam Sandler Thank you for the love.”
