Kanye West has sparked outrage once more, this time by wearing a swastika T-shirt that he previously sold on his Yeezy website before it went dark. The rapper was spotted in Los Angeles on Thursday, chatting with a group of people while wearing the shirt, ensuring the camera caught a full, unfiltered view of him in the controversial attire.
The Disturbing Sight
The sight of West standing in the shirt, appearing completely unaware of or indifferent to the gravity of the symbol, quickly caught the attention of onlookers and social media users. West further stoked the flames by doubling down on his intentions in a tweet on Friday, saying, “It was always a dream of mine to walk around with a Swastika T on.”
A History of Controversy
This latest incident follows weeks of troubling behavior from West, including selling merchandise featuring Nazi symbols on his Yeezy website. He even aired a Super Bowl ad promoting the controversial merchandise. In the past, West made headlines for declaring himself a Nazi and praising Adolf Hitler, though he later deleted those posts and claimed he wasn’t a Nazi anymore.
