The rapper formerly known as Kanye West directed viewers to his website, where the homepage was selling a T-shirt with a swastika on the front.

The most surprising thing about this story is his X account being deleted, but it sounds like this may have been a voluntary exit.

Anybody know what the official shop site is called? On yeezy(dot)com is only one item and that’s a white r-Shirt with a black swastika on the front.

The shop feels broken tho, because there are almost no ux elements.

Is he doing this to remain relevant?

That is the official website. It's linked on the wiki page for Kanye, and Kanye has advertised it on his Insta. I thought it was fake too because it's so poorly designed. You can't even see the price of the shirt until it's in your cart.

Far be it from me to know of someone, anyone, even a celebrity, by using a reverse initialism or, worst, and I don't say this lightly, an apheresis.
