Kanye West is facing fierce backlash once again after a series of anti-Semitic remarks and the sale of a swastika-themed T-shirt on his Yeezy website.
The rapper’s latest stunt has left many in Hollywood disgusted, with several celebrities voicing their disapproval of his actions.
The Offensive T-Shirt and Social Media Storm
Kanye, 47, made headlines recently for selling a $20 white T-shirt featuring a swastika symbol on his Yeezy website.
This came after a shocking rant on X (formerly Twitter), where he unleashed a wave of racist, sexist, and homophobic comments.
The situation escalated when he used a Super Bowl commercial to promote the shirt, an item now removed from his website by Shopify.
His actions have led to widespread outrage, particularly in Hollywood.
Hollywood Celebrities Respond
Hollywood stars, including Isla Fisher and David Schwimmer, have spoken out against Kanye’s vile behavior.
Isla, who converted to Judaism, expressed her horror on Instagram, calling Kanye a “monster” and urging her followers to unfollow him.
David Schwimmer, meanwhile, condemned Kanye’s self-identification as a “Nazi,” branding him a “deranged bigot” and demanding that Elon Musk remove Kanye from X.
Schwimmer also warned that silence in the face of Kanye’s hate speech is complicity in real-world violence against Jews.
AI Video Condemns Kanye’s Actions
In response to Kanye’s behavior, an AI-generated video was created to show digital versions of high-profile Jewish celebrities condemning his actions.
The video features AI versions of actors like Scarlett Johansson, Lisa Kudrow, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Jake Gyllenhaal wearing a T-shirt that mocks Kanye’s controversial design.
The shirt in the video features a raised middle finger and a Star of David, with the word “Kanye” printed above it, directly mocking the offensive swastika T-shirt.
Generative AI Expert’s Strong Statement
The video was shared by Israeli generative AI expert Ori Bejerano, who called out Kanye’s actions as deliberate incitement against Jews.
Bejerano wrote, “This is not a mistake, not a gimmick, and not ‘artistic provocation’.
This is a deliberate incitement against Jews and a normalization of Nazi symbols.”
He emphasized that Kanye’s actions are more than just offensive—they are dangerous and should be condemned by everyone.
More Fallout from Kanye’s Remarks
Amid his outrageous actions, Kanye has also been dropped by his talent agency, 33 & West.
Agent Daniel McCartney made an announcement that he could no longer represent Kanye due to his harmful and hateful remarks.
This followed a bizarre Super Bowl commercial in which Kanye attempted to promote his online store by showing off new teeth and directing viewers to his website, which only sold the controversial T-shirt.
Shocking Social Media Tirade
Kanye’s three-day social media rant included support for Adolf Hitler, declarations that he would no longer “trust or work with Jewish people,” and a series of inflammatory and hate-filled messages.
Among his tweets, he proudly declared, “I AM A NAZI,” and later added, “I LOVE HITLER NOW WHAT B*****S.”
He also made bizarre and insulting comments about the appearance of others and attempted to downplay the severity of his behavior by labeling it a “social experiment.”
What’s Next for Kanye West?
While Kanye has faced backlash in the past for similar anti-Semitic remarks, this latest series of events has further alienated him from the public eye.
It remains unclear what will happen next, but one thing is certain—his actions have caused irreparable damage to his reputation, and the Hollywood community has made it clear that they will not stand by in silence.
