Kanye West’s latest expansion of his swastika T-shirt line has been condemned by multiple groups, including the Anti-Defamation League, who characterized the rapper’s most recent series of X posts as ‘unacceptable and downright dangerous.’
The Runaway artist, 47, on Saturday posted another shock stream of posts, showcasing a new set of shirts and logos emblazoned with swastikas to his 33.3 million followers on the platform.
West was unabashed in his latest line of Nazi-inspired couture – a collection of long and short-sleeve tops in black, white and red with swastikas in the center, adding that the product was ‘coming in crispy.’
The ‘crispy’ line was ostensibly a reference to Holocaust extermination camps where Jewish people were gᴀssed and incinerated.
ADL CEO and National Director Jonathan Greenblatt told Dailymail.com exclusively in response on Monday, ‘There is no excuse – none – for praising Hitler. Glorifying a genocidal dictator with swastika merch is not “edgy” or “controversial.”
‘When someone with Kanye’s influence spreads Nazi glorification, it emboldens extremists. It’s unacceptable and downright dangerous.’

The American Jewish Committee referred Dailymail.com to a statement in which they acknowledged West’s ‘anti-Jewish hatred’ in his social media posts – and the ‘dangerous influence they can have on his millions of followers, particularly on social media, where a significant portion of today’s antisemitism thrives.’
Said the AJC: ‘Hate, left unchecked, only multiplies. At a time when antisemitism is skyrocketing to terrifying levels worldwide, Ye is actively endangering Jews.
‘We urge others with a platform like Ye’s – particularly in the entertainment industry – to call out this blatant hatred.’
It was not immediately clear if any of the latest tweets – which the Black Skinhead artist subsequently deleted Saturday – violated X/Twitter’s stated ‘Violent and hateful enтιтies policy.’
Dailymail.com has reached out to reps for X/Twitter’s Help Center for further clarification on the policy, as well as West’s rep Milo Yiannopoulos for comment on the latest developments.

The Chicago native continued with the antisemitic sentiments despite a recent set of personal complications stemming from his outspoken views on Jewish people.
‘I TRULY LIKE JEWISH PEOPLE,’ West said Saturday. ‘THEY [JUST] CAN NO LONGER BE THE CREATIVE DIRECTORS OF THE PLANET … THEY ARE THE BULLYS… NO IM THE BULLY.’
They included a row with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy; and reports of his views spurring tension between ex-wife Kim Kardashian, who he shares four children with, and her sister Kourtney’s baby’s father, Scott Disick.

Subsequently, companies such as Foot Locker and Gap removed his Yeezy products from their shelves, while industry mainstays including Vogue magazine and Balenciaga publicly distanced themselves from the rapper/fashion designer.
At the time, the talent agency CAA dropped West from its roster, while a documentary about West made by the studio MRC was shelved.
West expressed his admiration for Adolf Hitler while denying the Holocaust in a December 1, 2022 appearance on Alex Jones’ former show Infowars.
‘He didn’t kill six million Jews,’ the Dark Fantasy singer said of Hitler. ‘That’s just factually incorrect. I’m not trying to be shocking. I like Hitler. The Holocaust is not what happened.
West said that ‘Hitler has a lot of redeeming qualities,’ adding that ‘every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler.’
West, who appeared alongside far-right influencer Nick Fuentes on the program, was banned from Twitter later that day for posting a picture of a swastika interlaced with a Star of David.
