*Kanye West used an $8 million Super Bowl ad to drive traffic to his website, where he is now selling a $20 T-shirt featuring a swastika.
The 30-second commercial, which aired in select markets (L.A., Philly, Atlanta) showed Ye in a dental chair repeatedly saying “Umm” while promoting Yeezy.com. When FOX approved the ad on Friday, the site featured standard Yeezy apparel, but by Sunday, it was reduced to just the controversial white shirt with a black swastika on the front. This comes after Ye’s recent antisemitic rants, where he openly declared himself a Nazi.
Despite the backlash, TMZ reports suggest the ad generated $2 million in sales with around 100,000 shirts purchased.
Meanwhile, West’s X (formerly Twitter) account has been deactivated following backlash over his latest antisemitic posts.
“IM A NAZI,” he wrote in all-caps over the weekend. “I LOVE HITLER NOW WHAT BITCHES.”

In another post, he added: “SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE JEWISH AND I DONT TRUST ANY OF THEM.”
Deadline reports that as of Monday morning, the rapper’s page displayed the message: “This account doesn’t exist.”
Ye seemingly deleted his X account after the page was flagged as having “potentially sensitive content”.
Amid the backlash, Elon Musk, who purchased Twitter in 2022 for $44 billion, said: “Given what he has posted, his account is now classified as NSFW [not safe for work]. You should not be seeing that anymore.”
Before the account was shut down, West thanked Elon “for allowing me to vent.”
“It has been very cathartic to use the world as a sounding board,” he said.
