Ye, previously known as Kanye West, used a Super Bowl commercial on Sunday night to send people to its website while selling stamped shirts with a swastika, the symbol of Nazi Germany that is still used by modern extreme extremists right .
White t -shirts have a black swastika in the front and were the only items on sale on the cover of Yeezy.com from Monday morning. No text or explanation accompanied the element, only the letters “HH-01”. They are available for $ 20.
The announcement of the Super Bowl, which was not shown at the national level but, according to multiple reports, was seen at least in the Los Angeles area, shows Ye in the chair of a dentist apparently receiving treatment.
“So what happens, guys? I spent, like all the money for the commercial in these new teeth, “he said.” So, once again, I had to shoot it on the iPhone. UM, UM, UM, Go to Yeezy.com. “The shirts were not mentioned in the announcement.
A YE representative did not immediately respond to a request for comments from NBC News.
The news occurs when YE’s X account, where he had 33 million followers and had been publishing a series of highly offensive anti -Semitic messages in recent days, has been deactivated.
The Anti-Defamation League published a statement on Monday that described the sales of the shirt as additional proof of Ye of Ye. The organization, which was formed to combat intolerance and discrimination anti -Jew, reiterated that the swastika was “adopted by Hitler as the main emblem of the Nazis.”
“He galvanized his followers in the twentieth century and continues to threaten and infuse fear in those attacked by anti -Semitism and white supremacy,” said the ADL. “If that were not enough, the shirt is labeled on the Kanye website as ‘HH-01’, which is code for ‘Heil Hitler’.”
The @kanyewest account page, which has existed since 2010, now says “this account no longer exists.”
It was not clear why the account was offline, but you said in a message on Sunday: “I am closing the Twitter session”, referring to the original and still widely used appointed from the social network X.
“I appreciate Elon for allowing me to vent,” he continued. “It has been very cathartic to use the world as a sound limit.”
The shirts seemed to go on sale at Yeezy.com during the weekend, although they said in X that he would never sell a shirt with a swastika.
“I would never sell a swastika shirt because people could be physically damaged to wear it … I love my fans and followers,” he wrote on Saturday.
Before their X account was disconnected, Ye published a new round of antisemy tweets on Super Bowl Sunday, including derogatory comments and conspiracy theories about Jews.
On Friday, Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the ADL, said Ye was responsible for an “atrocious sample of anti -Semitism, racism and misogyny of himself in his x account”.
They were blocked from their Twitter/X account in 2022 on anti -Semitic comments.
