Kanye West's Yeezy Site Shut Down After Selling Swastika Shirt

justjared.com:

The retail website for Kanye West’s clothing brand Yeezy was offline Tuesday morning (February 11) two days after listing a $20 swastika T-shirt.

The listing came after the brand’s founder went on an antisemitic rant on social media praising Adolf Hitler and saying Jewish people are untrustworthy, adding: “IM A NAZI.” Yeezy.com now features an all-white screen, reading: “Something went wrong.

What happened? This store is unavailable.” Keep reading to find out more… Shopify issued a statement confirming the news: “All merchants are responsible for following the rules of our platform.

This merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms, so we removed them from Shopify.” Kanye also ran a Super Bowl ad in the Los Angeles area Sunday night directing people to yeezy.com, where a plain white T-shirt with a black swastika printed on the front was the only item available for sale. Kanye later deactivated his X account.
