"This is sick, dangerous, hateful stuff": Kanye logo sparks mass outrage over Swastika symbol inside the Star of David

Kanye West posted a picture of a swastika intertwined with the Star of David on his official Twitter account. This comes after the controversial rapper claimed to "like" Hitler in his most recent InfoWars podcast appearance. Netizens have since taken to social media to express their rage against Ye and his Anti-Semitic statements.

Trigger Warning: Anti-Semitism, The Holocaust, Hate Speech

@kanyewest This is sick, dangerous, hateful stuff.

Kanye West took to the social media platform to promote his 2024 presidential run. He posted an image of the Nazi's swastika symbol inside the Star of David. For those unversed, the latter symbolizes the Jewish identity. In the tweet, he also wrote:

“YE24 LOVE EVERYONE.”

Kanye West also included the hashtag,

“LOVESPEECH”

The image appears to have been created using the latest version of Adobe Photoshop.

Twitter just told me that there is nothing wrong with Kanye West posting a swastika in a Star of David. You’re a real piece of work, @elonmusk.

After posting the disturbing image, he proceeded to show support for the now-canceled fashion house Balenciaga and shared his hatred towards p*rnography in a series of tweets.

I stand by Balenciaga and denounce all witch hunts and I cancel cancel culture Jesus is King Ending trafficking doesn’t start or end with a fashion campaign for Christ Sake

Netizens react to Kanye West's post of an image of the swastika inside the Star of David

Internet users showed no support towards the Yeezy designer, who was seemingly promoting Anti-Semitism. Netizens endlessly fired at the Praise God singer and expressed concern about his influence on youngsters. Many also noted how it took Twitter almost an hour to remove the disturbing image from his profile.

Instagram page StopAntisemitism tweeted about it and called out Elon Musk for not removing the tweet sooner. Musk is the new CEO and owner of the micro-blogging platform since his takeover in October 2022.

Horrifying - a swastika embedded within a Jewish star.

Does Kanye West have to physically hurt a Jewish person before you act @elonmusk?

Kanye West just posted a photo of a swastika inside of the Star of David. This is abhorrent and dangerous. Shame on anyone who has enabled and supported him on his crusade against the Jewish people. We refuse to be silent in the face of this deplorable anti-Semitism. Never again.
Kanye West tweeting out a Swastika inside a Star of David is, without exaggeration, the most insane thing I think I've witnessed in my entire life.

Kanye West tweeting that image of a swastika inside the Star of David is disgusting and an open act of anti-Jewish prejudice and hatred. It’s not provocative speech. It’s designed to make antisemitism acceptable and edgy.
Antonio Brown: "Nobody can ruin their Legacy as badly as me! NO ONE!"

Kanye West: "Hold my Swastika."

Star of David inside of a swastika symbol is the biggest insult towards Jewish people. I've had enough of Kanye. This time is really huge, even as the most tolerant human being on the planet i can't tolerate this one. 🥴

Kanye put a swastika in the Star of David, and said CP3 was with Kim K. I don’t think we’ve seen this level of unhinged before.

Kanye West goes on Anti-Semitic rant on InfoWars

Ad

Before causing havoc on Twitter, the 45-year-old appeared on InfoWars hosted by Alex Jones. As he continued to spew anti-Jew speech, the rapper said he did not deserve to be called a Nazi or demonized.

Kim Kardashian's ex-husband then began to speak about his thoughts on Hitler and claimed that he "liked" Hitler as he could recognize some "good things about" the Nazi leader.

The rapper added:

“I love everyone. Jewish people are not going to tell me you can love us, and you can love what we’re doing to you with the contracts, and you can love what we’re pushing with the p*rnography. But this guy that invented highways, invented the very microphone that I use as a musician, you can’t say out loud that this person even did anything good, and I’m done with that.”

Kanye then said everyone has some value they bring to the table, "especially Hitler."

Alex Jones, a far-right conspiracy theorist, pushed back against West's hate speech and said he dislikes Nazis. He added:

“I don’t like what some of the mafias are doing either.”

In response, West said that he likes Hitler.

West appeared on the podcast after being photographed with his daughter North West, who was wearing the Star of David on a sweatshirt. The clothing item also included the words "Donda" and the date 8.5.21.
