Kanye West has been sued and dropped by his talent agency after he posted a stream of antisemitic abuse, put T-shirts with a swastika on sale in his online shop, and was alleged to have described himself as Hitler to a Jewish employee.

Last week West, also known as Ye, wrote a barrage of antisemitic posts on X including, “I’m a Nazi … I love Hitler”.

The swastika T-shirt was placed for sale on the website of his fashion brand Yeezy, with the product line “HH-01”, assumed to be code for “Heil Hitler”.

Shopify, the company that provided the online platform for Yeezy, has now taken the store offline, stating: “All merchants are responsible for following the rules of our platform. This merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms.”

    The last outfall was so bad that even Alex Jones had to argue that Hitler wasnt a good guy. I’m just wondering how he was able to get back into the spotlight to repeat this shit. I mean, I have an idea what convinced him now is the time to shine again.

      He said he was jealous of Elon and that it should have been him to do the salute

          You really think he will, even after all this? Cause that would truly be insane… and scary.

            Don’t underestimate the stupidity of people.

            Take it from The Boondocks “The Trial of R. Kelly”:

            “why do you still support him after all these allegations have come to light?” “Cause he sound good!”
