Kanye West slammed as ‘downright dangerous’ following latest ‘crispy’ swastika clothing stunt: ‘It’s unacceptable!’
Kanye West has been branded “dangerous” following another spate of swastika themed clothing posts on his X account.
In a now deleted screed, the 47-year-old rap mogul shared variations of his infamous T-shirt bearing the Nazi symbol to his 33 million followers.
Returning to X over the weekend, West shared an extensive collection of tops in red, white and black – all adorned with a swastika.
“Product coming in cripsy,” he wrote along with the post, which some suggested was a grotesque reference to how bodies were cremated during the Holocaust.

West also posted a selfie of himself modelling one of the tees with the caption “never mention money”.
His latest outbursts prompted Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of Jewish group the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), to condemn the rapper.
“There is no excuse – none – for praising Hitler,” Greenblatt told the Daily Mail.
“Glorifying a genocidal dictator with swastika merch is not ‘edgy’ or ‘controversial.’
“When someone with Kanye’s influence spreads Nazi glorification, it emboldens extremists. It’s unacceptable and downright dangerous,” he added.
The ADL joins other organisations and individuals who have spoken out against West after his repeated social media diatribes.
The American Jewish Committee warned of the “dangerous influence” the 47-year-old had over his followers.
“Hate, left unchecked, only multiplies. At a time when antisemitism is skyrocketing to terrifying levels worldwide, Ye (West) is actively endangering Jews.
“We urge others with a platform like Ye’s – particularly in the entertainment industry – to call out this blatant hatred,” they wrote.

Actor David Schwimmer also blasted West as a “deranged bigot” in a call to X owner Elon Musk to ban the rapper from the platform.k to ban the rapper from the platform.
“Silence is complicity,” he added chillingly.
During his outbursts, West addressed staff at X in a claim that: “shadow banning me every 2 days is not freedom of speech”.
He later deleted his posts and left the platform with the message: “I quit Twitter for now. They just deleted my last tweet. Jordan leaving the NBA.”
While Musk has not addressed the question of removing West indefinitely from X, he explained the rapper’s posts would be gated behind a censor – similar to that of violent of pornographic content.
“Given what he has posted, his account is now classified as NSFW (not safe for work) … You should not be seeing that anymore,” he wrote on February 10.
