Kanye West Faces Backlash Over Alleged Nazi Symbolism In New Yeezy Clothing Line

Kanye West Faces Backlash Over Alleged Nazi Symbolism In New Yeezy Clothing Line

 

Kanye West is under fire, once again.

The rapper’s new Yeezy clothing line, which dropped on December 26, includes T-shirts, hoodies, and jackets priced at $20.

Critics are calling out the garments for featuring logos resembling the Wolfsangel symbol, historically associated with Nazi Germany and now linked to neo-Nazi groups like Aryan Nations.

This controversy adds to Ye’s history of ties to extremist symbols, including backlash earlier this year for wearing a shirt featuring Varg Vikernes, a musician with neo-Nazi ties, and his 2018 TMZ interview where he expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler.
