Kanye West erases entire website except for a shockingly hateful $20 T-shirt
Is this is most disgusting move yet?
Kanye West has seemingly deleted his entire website with the exception of a single T-shirt that features a swastika symbol, available for purchase for $20 (£16.15).
The reprehensible move comes just after the rapper deleted his own X account following three days of shocking online rants.
It seems the move was planned as a part of the ad Kanye paid to air on Sunday during the Super Bowl.
The ad appeared to show him sitting at the dentist’s office while recording a 30-second spot on an iPhone and encouraging people to visit his website.
CNN reports that it wasn’t a national ad on Fox and only viewers in a few markets saw it.
The 47-year-old rapper sparked calls for him to be banned from the social media platform this week after erratic ranting that included him declaring himself to be a Nazi, professing his ‘love’ for Adolf Hitler and claiming he had ‘dominion’ over his wife Bianca Censori.
The website now only contains the single t-shirt (Picture: yeezy)The shirt appeared Monday morning despite a Saturday post from Kanye that read: ‘I would never sell a swastika tee because people could be physically harmed wearing it … I love my fans and supporters.’
There have been understandably strong reactions online, with X user @CryptoSam01 writing ‘Genuinely evil’ under news of the post.
Others speculated about the rapper’s previously disclosed mental illness diagnoses. @dafunkateer wrote: ‘Is this mental illnes or very avant garde performance art? I honestly cannot tell.’
@RealPolitics posted: ‘He’s lost the plot.’
On Sunday, Elon Musk took action after an X user complained about Kanye being able to freely post pornography on his account.
‘Given what he posted, his account is now classified as NSFW. You should not be seeing that anymore,’ the businessman replied.
The rant went on for days and was extremely erratic and offensive (Picture: X) Many of the posts included misogynistic rhetoric (Picture: X) What is the history of the swastika symbol and why does it matter?While the swastika is an ancient symbol with roots in many cultures, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, where it traditionally represents good fortune, prosperity, and spiritual well-being, it was appropriated by the Nazi party in Germany in the 20th century.
The Nazi’s twisted it into an emblem of hate, racism, and genocide. Because of its association with Nazi atrocities, especially the Holocaust, the swastika is now widely recognized in the West as a symbol of white supremacy and far-right extremism.
Using the swastika today—especially in Western contexts—is dangerous because it is deeply linked to Nazi ideology, making it a powerful symbol of hate speech and a provocation that can incite fear, anger, and violence.
In many countries, such as Germany, the display of the Nazi swastika is illegal, reinforcing its status as a symbol of oppression and genocide.
Hours later, Ye signed off from the platform and bizarrely expressed his gratitude to Elon.
He wrote: ‘I’m logging out of Twitter. I appreciate Elon for allowing me to vent. It has been very cathartic to use the world as a sounding board. It was like an Ayahuasca trip.
‘Love all of you who gave me your energy and attention. To we connect again. Good afternoon and good night.’
The American Jewish Committee issued a statement Friday condemning Kanye’s rants. It added: ‘At a time when antisemitism is skyrocketing to terrifying levels worldwide, Ye is actively endangering Jews.’
Perhaps most horrific of all, in the midst of his rants yesterday, Kanye attempted to profit off Diddy’s horrifying attack on Cassie Ventura.
The Super Bowl ad Kanye paid for directed people to his website (Picture: Fox)The 47-year-old rapper has shared a screenshot from an unearthed video of Diddy physically assaulting his then-girlfriend in 2016 at the InterContinental Hotel in LA. The video – published by CNN last year – showed Diddy, real name Sean Combs, kicking, dragging and throwing an object at Cassie.
Alongside the photo, Kanye wrote a lot of disturbing commentary.
‘When I [sic] man truly loves a woman he may express it in rage I empathize with both sides,’ one tweet read.
