Westside Gunn has responded to the backlash he’s been receiving on Twitter for flipping an image of Nazi-branded cocaine into an album cover for his Hitler Wears Hermes series. Gunn posted the image on Twitter, over the weekend. In response, some fans argued that he took things too far.

“Y’all cosign his nazi fetish but demonize Ye for saying love everyone. I can’t stand y’all n***s,” one user posted. Another wrote: “i understand the aesthetic and series name and whatnot but you might want to tone it down a little.” Gunn replied in a post on Sunday: “WSG hate is the best shit on the internet. Bc while I’m getting hated on Im either in my mansion, a luxury vehicle, island with my entire family, or a 5star something in the best clothes money can buy, smelling great & worth MILLIONS or even places u couldn’t dare go bc I’m a [goat emoji].”

Yeezy Season 10: Kanye West’s Latest Runway Has Nazi Links, Stem Player Points Out

by

Just a few weeks ago, it seemed as though Kanye West was preparing to spend some time out of the spotlight. He cancelled his bid for the presidency and is focused on spending time with his wife, Bianca Censori. However, the embattled artist made a noteworthy return earlier this week. He surprisingly hosted a secret Yeezy Season 10 fashion show at a small venue in Los Angeles. Some were happy to see Ye returning to his creative roots after countless months of chaos. Others, like the Stem Player company who previously cut ties with him due to his troubling antics, couldn’t help but notice the apparent Nazism links shown throughout the collection.

As HipHopDX notes, the tech company’s Instagram Story shared several photos from the runway event. They made sure to condemn West, making it abundantly clear that they’re no longer connected to him. Many of the images have since been deleted. One compared the “Flashing Lights” hitmaker’s skinhead models kneeling behind a line of candles in an empty warehouse to a snapshot of white nationalists carrying tiki torches in a Charlottesville, Virginia, march held in 2017. Elsewhere, Censori’s white angel wings were said to be the same as a German Reich coat of arms previously worn by Ye in 2022, earning him plenty of backlash.

Stem Player Puts Kanye West on Blast

In their accompanying statement, Stem Player wrote, “Stem is not a part of this. If you found us through far-right politics, this account isn’t for you. If you found us in other ways, clarification over and not needed. Back to building.” West’s latest stunt comes less than a year after he broke the internet with his controversial “White Lives Matter” shirt at the Yeezy Season 9 show in Paris. Interestingly, the father of four reportedly wasn’t in attendance at this week’s LA presentation. At the time, very little was shown in terms of clothing.

Aside from making waves in the world of fashion, the 45-year-old is also stirring up rumours that his presidential campaign may be back on after reconnecting with Milo Yiannopoulos. See footage from Kanye West’s last-minute Yeezy season 10 presentation below. Afterward, share your thoughts on the brand’s latest collection and its apparent Nazi imagery usage in the comments.

D.L. Hughley Compares Kanye West To Lucifer

by

The beef between D.L. Hughley and Kanye West is well-documented. They seem unlikely to have tension, but following West’s anti-Semitic rants, Hughley came forward. The legendary comedian argued that if Kanye was a woman, he would be under conservatorship like Britney Spears.

In a new interview with VladTV, Hughley again tackles West’s controversies. “I really fault a lot of these people who are taking advantage,” he began. “Well, I can’t say they’re taking advantage.” However, he doesn’t understand why West’s team allows him to jump from one outlet to another, knowing he would make unhinged statements.

Vlad brought up West stating that his mother, Michael Jordan’s father, and Bill Cosby’s son were all sacrificed. He also detailed the circumstances surrounding Donda West’s untimely death following cosmetic surgery. Vlad claims he investigated the story, and it was far from a sacrifice.

“I think that—biblically, Lucifer was a cherub. He was—his name means Morning Star. Lucifer was beautiful and he was God’s minister of music,” Hughley replied. “He was exalted, and he was perfect. And Lucifer had seen God. He knew that he was created by him. But Lucifer was so charismatic and so talented, he talked other angels in trying to bum rush heaven.”

“If talent and charisma is so mesmerizing, so intoxicating, it can make angels rise up against God,” Hughley continued. “It can make us alter our understanding of things. We’ll start to believe things. That is the most dangerous thing about what’s going on here.”

“It says a lot that a man who loves Hitler and Trump, it says a lot that you love those two people. And it says even more that people are contorting themselves to make that make sense.”

Meanwhile, after declaring his admiration of Adolf Hitler, saying Nazis aren’t all bad, and repeatedly speaking negatively about the Jewish community, West has been silent. He has promised he will attempt the presidential nomination in 2024, and it’s expected that he will reemerge with the details of his campaign.

Kanye West Inspires Nazi Merch Being Sold Online

by

Kanye West’s recent antisemitic behavior has inspired a line of Nazi merch available online promoting his 2024 presidential campaign. While not officially affiliated with the rapper, the designs feature his campaign logo alongside swastikas and more.

The shirts, which were shared on social media by the Anti-Defamation League, come after West praised Adolf Hitler on InfoWars.

In its tweet sharing images of the merch, the ADL writes: “Disturbed to see sites selling swastika-themed merch in support of Ye’s presidential bid. Some of the symbols appear to have originated among white supremacist trolls on 4chan in Nov & have since been incorporated into merch by online sellers, including print-on-demand platforms.”

“It doesn’t matter whether the sellers of this merch are trying to make a buck or to spread hatred. Reputable platforms have a responsibility to put a stop to it. Kudos to those who already have,” they concluded.

Kanye previously tweeted an image of a swastika inside a Star of David. In response, Elon Musk banned him from the site.

In addition to the controversial merch, West recently topped Simon Wiesenthal Center’s (SWC) Global Antisemitism List. The organization cited “his continued anti-Semitic comments and leveraging his immense social media platform to weaponize hate, bigotry, and ignorance.”

The merch isn’t the first time that West’s actions have inspired further antisemitism. Earlier this month, an attacker used Ye’s name in a hate crime on an elderly Jewish man in New York City’s Central Park. The assailant reportedly yelled out “Kanye 2024” during the attack. Additionally, an antisemitic protest in Los Angeles back in October also featured signs reading, “Kanye is right about the Jews.”

Alex Jones Slams Kanye West’s “Hitler Fetish”

by

Alex Jones called out Kanye West and Nick Fuentes for having a “Hitler fetish” after the two appeared on his show, last week. Jones reflected on the interview while speaking with right-wing YouTuber Steven Crowder on Tuesday.

“There is this Hitler fetish. And no, I’m not into dudes in fancy peacock military uniforms that, by the way, got 22 million Germans killed,” Jones said. “Hitler was horrible, screw Hitler, burn in hell Hitler.”

Speaking of Kanye in particular, Jones remarked, “I don’t think he’s mentally ill — I think he’s enjoying himself.“

Jones also labeled Fuentes “baby Hitler” and a “Nazi lover.”

Of the entire interview, Jones says, “I can’t bring myself to watch it again — I can’t stand to watch it.”

Fuentes responded to the criticism by labeling Jones “controlled opposition” on Telegram afterward.

“MTG and Alex Jones both threw me under the bus to appease Jewish groups,” he wrote. “I don’t take it personally but people need to be aware that they are the definition of controlled opposition.”

Speaking on Jones’ InfoWars show, Kanye West had admitted to liking Hitler.

“The Jewish media has made us feel like the Nazis and Hitler have never offered anything of value to the world,” Ye said at one point. “I see good things about Hitler, also.”

After the interview, West posted a picture of a swastika on Twitter. Elon Musk banned him from the platform in response.
