Hilary Duff’s husband Matthew Kona releases ‘F**k Ye’ t-shirts after Kanye West’s anti-Semitic swastika shirts were shut down

Hilary Duff’s husband Matthew Kona releases ‘F**k Ye’ t-shirts after Kanye West’s anti-Semitic swastika shirts were shut down

Just hours after Kanye West’s website featuring anti-Semitic swastika t-shirts was taken down, musician Matthew Koma responded with shirt of his own.

West, 47, raised eyebrows with his Super Bowl commercial that revealed a website – Yeezy.com – which featured Nazi swastika t-shirts he was selling for $20.

His X posts were condemned by the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee, and his X profile was later deactivated.

The website featured in the commercial – which was powered by Shopify – was taken down on Tuesday, with visitors now greeted with a message that says the ‘store is not available.’

Now Koma, 37, the Jewish musician who married actress Hilary Duff in 2019 and share three daughters together, has fired back with an expletive-laden shirt of his own.

The white t-shirt simply reads, ‘F**k Ye,’ and, like Yeezy’s own shirts, will cost $20, though the funds will go to a good cause.

‘Hey I can make a shirt too – link in bio , all proceeds to the blue card holocaust survivor charity,’ Koma said in his Instagram post. 

Koma’s Instagram bio includes a link for his shirt that is sold at the Winnetka Bowling League website.

The website adds the t-shirts are currently in a pre-order phase, with shirts expected to ship out in two to four weeks.

The 100% cotton t-shirts is made with a classic fit along with, ‘taped neck and shoulders’ and ‘double needle sleeve and bottom hems.’

The Blue Card Fund’s mission is, ‘to provide direct financial ᴀssistance to needy Holocaust survivors.’

The charity’s official website adds, ‘Of the nearly 3,000 Holocaust survivor households The Blue Card serves, three-quarters are over the age of 78 and nearly 70% live alone.’ 

The site adds that several Holocaust survivors, ‘ struggle to afford basic needs, such as adequate food and healthcare,’ and, ‘more than half of them fall 200% below the federal poverty line, meaning their income is less than $24,980 annually.’

After Ye’s website was taken down, a representative for Shopify released a statement about why the website was taken down.

'Hey I can make a shirt too - link in bio , all proceeds to the blue card holocaust survivor charity,' Koma said in his Instagram post.

‘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,’ the company said in a statement (via Variety).

The Super Bowl ad – which West sH๏τ with an iPhone that directed viewers to the website – made it through the legal approval process needed for a Super Bowl spot.

The ad was approved because there was no issues with the ad itself, not necessarily with the website showcased on the ad.

Ye’s X account was deactivated as well after several antisemitic, misogynistic and pornographic posts including declaring himself a Nazi and calling Hitler ‘so fresh.’
