Kanye West's clothing brand, Ye, is facing backlash after it was discovered that they were selling t-shirts featuring swastikas on their website. This controversial move has sparked outrage among fans and critics alike.
The t-shirts, which were being sold on Kanye West's website through the Shopify platform, featured the Nazi symbol alongside other designs. Many customers were quick to point out the offensive nature of the shirts, leading to swift condemnation of Ye and calls for them to be removed from the site.
In response to the criticism, a spokesperson for Kanye West's team stated that the shirts were not meant to offend anyone and were meant to promote a message of unity. However, this explanation did little to quell the outcry from those who found the use of the swastika to be deeply offensive.
This incident comes just weeks after Kanye West's controversial Super Bowl ad, which also drew criticism for its use of provocative imagery. As the controversy continues to swirl around the Ye brand, many are questioning the intentions behind these marketing strategies and calling for greater accountability from the musician and fashion designer.
