Kanye West-Inspired Neo-Nazi Merch Is Reportedly Being Sold Online

Kanye West-inspired merchandise is reportedly being sold by various retailers online utilizing Ne0-Nazi designs along with his Ye24 campaign logo.

Marketplaces are selling t-shirts among other items emblazoned with Kanye’s 2024 presidential logo but made within a pair of antisemitic Swastikas.

There are t-shirts also using the Swastika inside a Star of David, which Kanye tweeted out at the top of December and what ultimately led to his Twitter suspension by Elon Musk for violating the company’s hate speech guidelines.

Anti-hate groups such as the Anti-Defamation League and the Combat Antisemitism Movement have spoken out against the sale of the merchandise.

“Disturbed to see sites selling swastika-themed merch in support of Ye’s presidential bid. Some of the symbols appear to have originated among white supremacist trolls on 4chan in Nov & have since been incorporated into merch by online sellers, including print-on-demand platforms,” the ADL wrote.

“It doesn’t matter whether the sellers of this merch are trying to make a buck or to spread hatred. Reputable platforms have a responsibility to put a stop to it. Kudos to those who already have.”

There’s no evidence that Kanye West has any involvement in the sale of the merchandise.

Kanye has seemingly laid low in recent weeks after lighting up headlines with his controversial antics and antisemitic remarks which resulted in the loss of many of his partnerships such as Balenciaga, Gap, Def Jam and adidas.

His name was connected to a hate crime earlier this month when an elderly Jewish man was assaulted in New York City’s Central Park.

Authorities reported the assailant made several antisemitic statements before yelling out “Kanye 2024” and walking off. The victim was taken to a hospital in the area, where he was treated for a chipped tooth and a broken hand.

This is not the first time Kanye West’s name has been used by others to support their antisemitic beliefs.

In October, a group called the Goyim Defense League staged a protest in Los Angeles by hanging multiple signs from a freeway overpass. One sign read, “Kanye is right about the Jews.”
