Kanye West has been sued and dropped by his talent agency after he posted a stream of antisemitic abuse, put T-shirts with a swastika on sale in his online shop, and was alleged to have described himself as Hitler to a Jewish employee.

Last week West, also known as Ye, wrote a barrage of antisemitic posts on X including, “I’m a Nazi … I love Hitler”.

The swastika T-shirt was placed for sale on the website of his fashion brand Yeezy, with the product line “HH-01”, assumed to be code for “Heil Hitler”.

Shopify, the company that provided the online platform for Yeezy, has now taken the store offline, stating: “All merchants are responsible for following the rules of our platform. This merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms.”

    I reported yeezy.com for being in violation of GoDaddy’s Terms Of Use.

    Doubt it was me that caused any of this, but we can all do our part 😊

      It says “This store is unavailable” which means it’s probably not a DNS or webserver block and still uses the shop software to serve the page. So it’s most likely a Shopify block.
