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.”

    I’m bipolar and I’m fucking tired of hearing that excuse for him. Even if I’m off my meds I’m not a fucking Nazi

      Not sure where I said or implied it was an excuse?

      He’s some kind of weird bigot for sure, but he’s also got a history of these random unhinged outbursts from time to time that are clearly a result of something more acute/immediate than being a nazi.
