On Thursday (February 27) the rapper took to Twitter/X to write: “For all jewelers, I’m looking for swastika chain designs,” alongside an animated video of a bedazzled swastika.

It was followed yesterday (February 28) by further posts doubling down on the recent backlash he’s faced for attempting to sell merchandise featuring the symbol.

In one now-deleted post, he said that some rappers write music about how many people they’ve killed, but are “SCARED TO WEAR A SWASTIKA T SHIRT”, as reported by Billboard. He then added that, “It was always a dream of mine to walk around with a Swastika T on.”

West first came under fire for selling a white T-shirt with a large swastika emblem on the chest last month, listed as “HH-01” on his website – possibly a reference to the “Heil Hitler” chant.
