Kanye West has been slammed by the The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for 'vile antisemitism' - as he sells swastika T-shirts on his Yeezy website. The 47-year-old rapper, now known as Ye, used the Super Bowl to promote his Yeezy website, which now displays a single item - the $20 white T-shirt featuring a swastika. He posted an image of the white top early on Saturday morning, described his latest design as 'my greatest performance art piece thus far'.

The controversial merchandise launch came just hours after a 12-hour barrage of shocking racist, homophobic and sexist tweets on X on Thursday night, which also included one begging President Trump to free Diddy from prison. These included antisemitic remarks, where he expressed support for Adolf Hitler and stated he would never 'trust or work with Jewish people' again and insisted he 'will not apologize' for his views.

And in response to the -shirt sales the ADL has called out his 'vile antisemitism' in a statement shared with MailOnline. Kanye West has been slammed by the The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for 'vile antisemitism' - as he sells swastika T-shirts on his Yeezy website.

The ADL is a New York-based international non-governmental organization that was founded to combat antisemitism. They said: 'As if we needed further proof of Kanye's antisemitism, he chose to put a single item for sale on his website – a t-shirt emblazoned with a swastika. 'The swastika is the symbol adopted by Hitler as the primary emblem of the Nazis. It galvanized his followers in the 20th century and continues to threaten and instill fear in those targeted by antisemitism and white supremacy.

'If that wasn't enough, the t-shirt is labeled on Kanye's website as 'HH-01,' which is code for 'Heil Hitler.' Kanye was tweeting vile antisemitism nonstop since last week. 'There's no excuse for this kind of behavior. Even worse, Kanye advertised his website during the Super Bowl, amplifying it beyond his already massive social media audience.'. Kanye used the Super Bowl to promote his Yeezy website, which now displays just the $20 white T-shirt featuring a swastika.

He filmed a bizarre, close-up video of himself for a Super Bowl ad, telling viewers to visit his online store. 'I spent all the money for the commercial on these new teeth,' West said, smiling for the camera and wearing sunglasses. 'So, once again, I had to shoot it on the iPhone.'. 'Um. Umm. Umm,' West continued before definitively directing viewers to his brand's website. 'Go to Yeezy.com.'. He posted an image of the white top early on Saturday morning, described his latest design as 'my greatest performance art piece thus far'.

The rapper was previously accused of anti-Semitism in 2022 after making a series of racist remarks, but later apologized, insisting it was not his 'intention to hurt or demean' the Jewish community. On Thursday night that apology appeared to have been retracted as he tweeted: 'IM NEVER APOLOGIZING FOR MY JEWISH COMMENTS I CAN SAY WHATEVER THE F**K I WANNA SAY FOREVER WHERES MY F***ING APOLOGY FOR FREEZING MY ACCOUNTS SUCK MY D**K HOWS THAT FOR AN APOLOGY.'.

A second tweet stated: 'So funny how N****** rapping about killing N****** is not hate but posting a swastika is hate.'.
