Канье Уэст пришёл к выводу, что он "не нацист" после глубоких размышлений.

Rapper Kanye West stated that he is "not a Nazi" following a series of antisemitic messages on social media this month. This was reported by New Musical Express, as conveyed by UNN.

This statement came after the artist of the hit Gold Digger posted extremely controversial messages on social media earlier this month and sold a T-shirt featuring a swastika on his website before it was taken down.

His series of posts—which began after the Grammy Awards—included a retraction of his apologies to the Jewish community for previous antisemitic remarks, as well as a declaration that he is a "Nazi" and the words: "I love Hitler."

He also praised billionaire and owner of X Elon Musk, calling him "the coolest person ever on Twitter," after Musk was accused of Nazism during Donald Trump's inauguration.

In subsequent messages, he mocked other marginalized communities, claimed that "slavery is a choice," and more.

Afterward, he cleaned up the Yeezy website and began selling a white T-shirt featuring a large swastika on the chest, which was labeled "HH-01" on his site—possibly a reference to the Nazi slogan "Heil Hitler."

Shopify later shut down the website; however, the online retailer stated that this was due to potential fraud, not the sale of the swastika T-shirt.

Reminder

Kanye West posted on Instagram a report from the valuation company Eton Venture Services, indicating that he has officially become a billionaire again.
