After Kanye West was stripped for days in X, including a series of anti -Semitic publications that praised Hitler, and that they said that the Jews were not reliable and exclaimed “I am a Nazi”, the website of their Yeezy brand sold only one only one Thing this Monday morning: a shirt with a swastika of $ 20.
The shirt appeared on the website during the weekend, despite the fact that on Saturday West wrote in X: “I would never sell a t -shirt with a swastika because people could be physically hurt by using it … I love my fans and followers.”
West also supposedly published a Super Bowl announcement in the Los Angeles area leading people to Yeezy.com, where that was the only available article (the commercial did not specifically mention the t -shirts with swastika).
The commercial was issued before the West account in X disappeared from the platform on Monday morning, after an indirect rival launched in the industry, Taylor Swift, during the Super Bowl. This marked the end of a series of publications on the platform that included calls to “free” the musical tycoon are “Diddy” combs of the federal prison, as well as anti -Semitic and misogynist publications.
The @kanyewest account in X did not show previous tweets and on Monday morning appeared with the message: “This account does not exist.”
Before the account was deactivated, West published about Taylor Swift singing during the part -time show of Kendrick Lamar, in which the rapper performed his winning song of Grammy Not Like Us, a confrontation theme aimed at Drake in which Call “certified pedophile.”
“Why are we allowing Taylor Swift to appear on television singing a song about knocking down a black man and accusing him of things that can destroy his life?” West wrote. “Kendrick is being used by these whites and Jews, just like me.”
The last message posted in West’s account was: “I am leaving Twitter. I appreciate Elon for allowing me to vent. It has been very cathartic to use the world as a resonance box. ”
West, who lost his lucrative Yeezy agreement with Adidas and other commercial associations after making anti -Semitic comments on Twitter and Instagram years ago, began publishing strange statements – including anti -Semitic and misogynistic comments – Thursday night, declaring that “I never I will apologize for my comments about the Jews. ”

His publications included dozens of comments about the Jewish and holocaust people, as “now I love Hitler, and what, p ** as?”, “I am a Nazi”, “Hitler was tamoaaan great” and “I will normalize to speak about Hitler in the same way that it has been normalized to speak of killing N **** s ”.
One of his publications said: “I love it when the Jews come to me and they tell me that they can no longer work with me, it is my favorite,” apparently in reference to the businesses he lost due to similar comments in the past, which included the breakup of relations with Balenciaga, Gap, Foot Locker, Creative Artists Agency, the Art Institute of Chicago and two law firms (it was also appointed “Anti -Semitic of the Year” by the StopantisemitisM surveillance group).
Among the tweets, published in a period of 10 hours, there were also comments on Combs, who has been in jail for months accused of sexual trafficking and sexual aggression by dozens of people. In addition, he referred to a controversial moment at the Grammy Awards of last weekend, when West appeared on the red carpet with his wife Bianca Censori, who wore a completely transparent dress that left his naked body in sight.
The costume choice unleashed an online debate on whether the dress was an empowering artistic statement or a degrading form of coercion by West, who on Friday stated: “I have dominion over my wife, this is not a feminist day Woke ”.
He added that wearing the dress was Censori’s decision and that he would not force her to do something she did not want, but that she “could not have done it without my approval.”
The American Jewish committee issued a statement on Friday, condemning West’s comments and calling the entertainment industry to reject their “shameless hatred.” “At a time when anti -Semitism is increasing at terrifying levels worldwide, Ye is actively endangering Jews,” the organization said.
Elon Musk, owner of X and who has also been indicated by behaviors perceived as anti -Semitic, responded to an X user who described West’s publications as “disturbed.” “Many problems like this can simply internalize responsibility,” said Musk.
Cyberwell, a non -profit organization focused on fighting online anti -Semitism and the denial of the Holocaust, said that West’s diatribe is an example of how social media platforms are “systematically reducing the application of their own digital policies”.
Last week, West revealed that he had been recently diagnosed with autism, after receiving a false diagnosis of bipolar disorder almost ten years ago. In the podcast The Download, he said that autism, a neurological and development disorder has influenced its strange public behavior and that makes it stubborn and argumentative, referring to the title of his song Can’t Tell Me Nothing. He also said he no longer takes the medication that was prescribed for bipolar disorder because, according to him, he blocked his creativity.
The publication that initiated West’s most recent diatribe contained only two words: “Free Puff” in reference to combs. He then appealed to former president Donald Trump with a message that said: “@realdonaldtrump please release my brother Puff”, claiming that prosecutors are “trying to make an example of Puff.”
Comink, who has used the Puff Daddy, Puffy and P. Diddy names throughout his career, was arrested and imprisoned in September after being accused of sexual trafficking and organized crime. Prosecutors claim that “he abused, threatened and coerced women and other people around them to satisfy their sexual desires, protect their reputation and hide their behavior.” It also faces multiple demands of men and women who claim to have been sexually assaulted by him in incidents that date back to the 90s. Com combs has denied all the accusations against him.

Surprising data
On Friday, West launched a collaboration between its Yeazy Fashion Line and the Sean John de combs brand, which was withdrawn on Monday. On the Yeezy website several t -shirts were on sale with Sean John (listed by $ 20), and West said the profits would be distributed 50/50 between him and combs. Then he added: “I just discovered that Puff cannot earn or receive money while he is imprisoned, so I will send his part to Justin.” It is not clear who he was referring to, but his eldest son is called Justin.
A now infamous anti -Semitic conversation between Kanye West and Tucker Carlson was filtered in October 2022 after Fox News edited those parts of a transmission in which West stated that the body positivity movement is a “black race genocide” and that He was pressed to remain silent about his support for Donald Trump before the 2016 elections.
The following October, a series of strange public apparitions, interviews and publications in West Social Networks occurred after the rapper wore a shirt with the phrase “White Lives Matter”, a motto associated with a neo -Nazi group, in its fashion parade Yeezy in Paris. West was restricted on Instagram and briefly suspended from Twitter.
CNN then reported that West wanted to appoint his 2018 album in honor of Adolf Hitler and several anonymous sources told reporters who had an “obsession” with the Nazi leader. Six people who had previously worked with West told NBC News that he had made several comments Pro-Hitler and Pro-Nazis, and in December 2023 he praised Hitler during an appearance in Infowars, the transmission channel led by the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
After this, West was abandoned by most of its commercial partners and disappeared from the public eye for months.
Forbes assessment
West, who was once considered one of the world’s billionaires, lost that status when his agreement with Adidas, which was estimated represented 1.5 billion of his net worth, crumbled.

Without Adidas, Forbes estimated in 2022 that West had a value of 400 million dollars thanks to its properties, the value of its musical catalog, its participation in the molding company of its ex -wife Kim Kardashian, Skims, and other assets.
Earlier this year, West claimed to be a billionaire again – and repeated the statement in his outburst on X on Friday – but Forbes has not changed its assessment.
