Rapper Kanye West has sparked outrage after a Super Bowl commercial promoted a website selling a t-shirt with a swastika. Critics, including the Anti-Defamation League, condemned the ad as a blatant display of anti-Semitism. The incident follows a pattern of West's controversial statements and online behavior.
Kanye West has faced intense criticism for a Super Bowl advertisement that promoted a website selling a t-shirt emblazoned with a swastika. The rapper, who has previously been condemned for overt anti-Semitism online and for praising Adolf Hitler, appeared in the commercial during Sunday's highly anticipated American football game.
The ad, filmed from a dentist's chair, featured West lying down and stating, 'I spent all the money for the commercial on these new teeth, so once again I had to shoot it on the iPhone... go to Yeezy.com'. The sole item available for purchase on the website was the white t-shirt with a prominent swastika on the front, also labeled with the code 'HH-01', widely interpreted as a reference to 'Heil Hitler'. Fox, the network that broadcast the Super Bowl, is now facing scrutiny over how the advertisement was allowed to air.The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) condemned West's actions on social media, stating, '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 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 ADL further criticized the 'HH-01' code, calling it a blatant reference to 'Heil Hitler'. They emphasized the severity of West's actions, stating that he used the Super Bowl platform to amplify his anti-Semitic message beyond his existing social media audience.This controversy follows a series of incidents where West has made public statements widely deemed as anti-Semitic. He was banned from Twitter on Monday after posting numerous hateful tweets, including characterizing slavery as a 'choice'. In the past, West had praised Hitler during an interview with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and made incoherent statements about Jews and Zionists in a video obtained by TMZ. He later issued an apology to the Jewish community in Hebrew on Instagram, expressing regret for any pain caused by his words and actions. However, this latest incident has reignited concerns about his deeply troubling views and the platform they are given
