Shopify Shuts Down Kanye West's Yeezy Site After Swastika T-Shirt Sale

Kanye West's website, Yeezy.com, was taken offline by Shopify after it featured a $20 T-shirt emblazoned with a swastika, following a controversial Super Bowl ad promoting the site. The Shopify spokesperson stated that West's store violated their terms by not engaging in authentic commerce practices. The Anti-Defamation League condemned West's actions, emphasizing the swastika's historical significance and the dangers of antisemitism. West's recent social media activity included a series of antisemitic posts, leading to widespread outrage and calls for action from celebrities and advocacy groups. Despite the backlash, West previously claimed he would never sell such a shirt, raising questions about the timing and intent behind the advertisement and website content. The controversy has escalated following West's recent deactivation from X, where he made inflammatory statements about antisemitism and praised Hitler.
