Kanye West is king of the long, rambling message. His latest came last night on X, and he defended selling a swastika shirt.
The 47-year-old directed people to his Yeezy.com website in a Super Bowl commercial earlier this month where he sold the t-shirt for $20. That was before Shopify removed the site for violating its terms.
Ye addressed all of this in his recent messages and said he’s been thinking about selling the shirt for almost a decade. He also addressed his anti-Semitic Twitter rant from earlier this month, when he praised Adolf Hitler.
“TWITTER RAMPAGE WAS 90% JEW PROOF” Ye tweeted last night. “WELL 2 YEARS AGO I TWEETED DEATHCON 3 ON THE JEWS IM SURE NO ONE REMEMBERS THAT. AND A FEW SPECIFIC JEWS NOT THE ENTIRE RACE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD BUT A FEW SPECIFIC JEWS CAME TOGETHER AND DID EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO DESTROY ME NOT PLAYING VICTIM JUST REFRESHING EVERYONES MEMORY. THIS TIME I PUSHED EVERY CANCELABLE IDEA POSSIBLE I PUSHED EVERY BUTTON I COULD …. IVE HAD MY SWASTIKA T SHIRT IDEA FOR OVER 8 YEARS IT WAS SO INTRIGUING TO ME THAT A SYMBOL HAD SO MUCH PROGRAMING IN IT.”
“YEEZY WAS ALSO DROPPED BY SHOPIFY THIS WAS A MAJOR VICTORY BECAUSE I HATE SHOPIFY AND I ALWAYS HAVE I NEW THEY WOULD DO SOME PUSSY SH*T LIKE THIS,” he added.
Like we said, Ye isn’t good at being succinct. You can read the rest of his lengthy message above.
