Kanye West caught wearing swastika tee in LA despite saying ‘I’m not a Nazi’

Kanye West has been caught on camera wearing a t-shirt bearing a large swastika logo just weeks after declaring “I’m not a Nazi”.

West, who goes by the mononym Ye, has previously expressed admiration for Hitler and labelled himself a “Nazi” while ranting on social media about Jews.

Last month, he made several inflammatory posts, including saying “I love Hitler” and “Jewish people actually hate white people and use black people”.

He also accused X owner Elon Musk of “stealing my Nazi swag”, in reference to accusations that the billionaire made a Nazi salute during a speech, and said he would “never apologise” for his antisemitic comment.

Several days later, though, he once again took to social media, writing: “After further reflection I’ve come to the realization that I’m not a Nazi.”

But the rapper appears to have made another screeching U-turn as TMZ released a video of him out and about in LA wearing a white t-shirt emblazoned with a large black swastika, which his clothing line Yeezy started selling in the aftermath of his tirade.

The clip showed Ye walking around a car park and chatting to a group of men, seemingly without concern for the hate symbol he was displaying.

Then, in the early hours of this morning, he authored another series of posts, again attacking Jews.

One post read, in all capitals, read: “Play the black music that Jews make money from. It’s cool for n***** to kill n***** and have famous n***** go in and out of jail and actually dying and killing each other, but there’s outrage from my t-shirt.

"Let’s have the concersation and talk to me. You got every single famous n**** under your thumb except for one”.

It comes after it was reported that Yeezy is being sued by a Jewish former employee over allegations of “antisemitic and misogynistic abuse”.

The unnamed plaintiff claims that West orchestrated a “calculated campaign to threaten and psychologically torment women and Jewish individuals around him”.

This allegedly included direct messages in which he identified himself as a Nazi and said “Hail Hitler, with the former employee claiming that she was let go after reporting the rapper’s conduct to her supervisors.
