Kanye West has been heavily criticized for a Super Bowl ad that promoted a website selling a swastika T-shirt, leading to calls for his ban from social media and condemnation from antisemitism groups.
Kanye West has faced severe criticism for a television advertisement that directed viewers to a website selling a T-shirt emblazoned with a swastika during the Super Bowl . The ad, which aired in the Los Angeles area, featured West lying down and telling viewers, '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.
' Upon visiting the website, viewers were met with a single T-shirt prominently displaying a swastika on the front, accompanied by the code 'HH-01', widely believed to be a reference to 'Heil Hitler'. This incident follows West's deactivation of his X account last week after posting more antisemitic content. In his final post, he stated, 'I'm logging out of Twitter. I appreciate Elon for allowing me to vent. 'It has been very cathartic to use the world as a sounding board. It was like an Ayahuasca trip.' 'Love all of you who gave me your energy and attention. To we connect again . Good afternoon and goodnight.' West's Friday posts included statements such as 'I love Hitler' and 'I'm a Nazi', prompting the Campaign Against Antisemitism to call on Elon Musk to permanently ban him. The group condemned the T-shirt listing as yet another example of West's dangerous prejudice. The Campaign Against Antisemitism stated, '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 instil fear in those targeted by antisemitism and white supremacy.' This is not the first time West, also known as Ye, has been suspended from Twitter. In October 2022, his account was restricted due to antisemitic comments but he returned the following month. The subsequent outcry led Adidas to terminate their lucrative trainer deal with West. Two months later, he was again locked out after posting content, including one seemingly depicting a swastika inside a Star of David. Elon Musk, who rebranded Twitter as X in 2023, stated at the time that the suspension was 'for incitement to violence', but the account was reinstated the following summer.
