If you didn’t think Kanye West (fuck Ye) was one sleezy-ass bastard. Well, here you go.

The rapper has launched a new T-shirt on his website featuring a swastika, the infamous Nazi Party symbol that Adolf Hitler adopted in 1920.

“Since 1945, the swastika has served as the most significant and notorious of hate symbols,” says the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) on its website. Ye has previously made antisemitic statements, including expressing admiration for Hitler and the Nazis.

The garments are priced at $20, with Shopify handling the transactions. It stands as the sole product available on yeezy.com.

During Sunday’s Super Bowl, West ran a local advertisement directing viewers to his website, without revealing details about the T-shirts. According to Ye, he personally recorded the advertisement, which features him speaking to the camera from a dentist’s chair. The commercial aired locally in Los Angeles, as reported by Variety.

“I spent, like, all the money for the commercial on these new teeth,” Ye said in the commercial, showing off a set of jewel-encrusted teeth. “Once again I had to shoot it on the iPhone. Um… Um… Go to Yeezy.com.”

The T-shirt release follows recent antisemitic content posted on his social media. His X account has since been deactivated.

The ADL, which combats discrimination against Jewish people, voiced strong opposition to the T-shirt sales.

“As if we needed further proof of Kanye’s antisemitism, he chose to put a single item for sale on his website — a T-shirt emblazoned with a swastika,” the group said in a post on X. “The swastika is the symbol adopted by Hitler as the primary emblem of the Nazis. It galvanized his followers in the 20th century and continues to threaten and instill fear in those targeted by antisemitism and white supremacy.”

The organization highlighted that the product code HH-01 appears to reference “Heil Hitler.”

“Kanye was tweeting vile antisemitism nonstop since last week. There’s no excuse for this kind of behavior. Even worse, Kanye advertised his website during the Super Bowl, amplifying it beyond his already massive social media audience,” the ADL added.
