Kanye West Faces Backlash Over Swastika Apparel and Statements

The rapper's public display of Nazi symbolism and antisemitic comments has drawn widespread condemnation and professional consequences.

Kanye West was seen wearing a swastika T-shirt in Los Angeles, following his recent sale of similar merchandise on his Yeezy website.
West posted on X (formerly Twitter) seeking jewelers to design a swastika chain, sharing a video of a bedazzled swastika.
The rapper has made multiple antisemitic statements recently, including declaring himself a Nazi and praising Adolf Hitler, which he later walked back before repeating similar rhetoric.
Shopify shut down West's online store citing policy violations, and his talent agency dropped him, while public figures and organizations, including the ADL, have condemned his actions.
Fans and collaborators, such as Ty Dolla $ign and Charlie Puth, have criticized West's behavior, which has further tarnished his legacy and sparked legal action from a former Yeezy employee.
