Kanye West has been sued and dropped by his talent agency after he posted a stream of antisemitic abuse, put T-shirts with a swastika on sale in his online shop, and was alleged to have described himself as Hitler to a Jewish employee.

Last week West, also known as Ye, wrote a barrage of antisemitic posts on X including, “I’m a Nazi … I love Hitler”.

The swastika T-shirt was placed for sale on the website of his fashion brand Yeezy, with the product line “HH-01”, assumed to be code for “Heil Hitler”.

Shopify, the company that provided the online platform for Yeezy, has now taken the store offline, stating: “All merchants are responsible for following the rules of our platform. This merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms.”

    Let’s not forget the first time he got banned from Twitter when he put “the Jews” on “deathcon 5.” This guy is broken. I hope he can get some help.

      He subscribes to the black hebrew conspiracy theory so to him, jews aren’t the real israelites, they stole it all from the original israelites, who were all black.

      It’s completely nuts and the cult has killed people before, including… MLK’s mother
