Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, wore a swastika shirt in a video he posted on his X account over the weekend, and it closely resembled the shirt with the Nazi symbol he recently sold on his website.

In the clip, which has since been deleted, the 47-year-old “Runaway” singer wore a black long sleeve shirt that was emblazoned on front with a large white swastika, the symbol of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party during World War II that is still used today by extremists.

The Yeezy founder wore the offensive shirt while responding to an accusation made by Barstool Sports founder and owner Dave Portnoy, who claimed Ye’s meme coin is a scam. On Saturday, Portnoy – who is famous for his Barstool pizza review videos – called Ye the “worst human alive” in a post on X while claiming the rapper’s meme coin is fake.

“Rumor is Kanye (worst human alive) may be launching a scam meme coin and morons will buy it,” wrote Portnoy, who is Jewish. “Snipers will get rich. Normal people will get crushed. People will cry. I fear I was the only honest man to ever exist in celeb coins.” 

A meme coin is a type of cryptocurrency that is often inspired by internet memes or other trends.

Responding to Portnoy’s claims, the “Flashing Lights” rapper said in a now-deleted video, while wearing the swastika shirt: “Dave Portnoy, I don’t know you. I saw you was tweeting… I have no idea who you are, we’ve gone back and forth joking. But when you start telling people that my coin is not real and you try to play with my money, that is the last time that we’ll be talking online.”

“Never mention money,” West wrote in the caption of his video.

Portnoy re-posted the clip on this X account and continued to attack Ye. “I thought Adam Sandler cured him of being a Nazi,” he wrote.

Sandler wrote and performed a song celebrating 50 years of “Saturday Night Live” earlier this month, and the lyrics included a mention of the Jewish actor discovering 50 years later that his favorite musician – Ye – is antisemitic. Portnoy also said of Ye, “I f–king hate this guy so much.”

On Friday, Ye took to X to explain his affinity for the swastika symbol. “The swastika to shows n—as that we don’t have to be afraid of white people,” he wrote in the since-deleted message. “When I grew up in Chicago there were gang bangers who were scared to go downtown where the white people were.” The rapper – who has four children with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian – also talked on X about possibly launching a new meme coin called “Swasticoin.”

Ye said in a separate, and now-deleted, post on Thursday that he will wear his swastika shirt at next year’s Super Bowl. “Next year I’m performing at the superbowl wearing my wittle T shirt,” he wrote. “People with money bought my wittle t shirt.”

He also posted a photo of Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious and his girlfriend Nancy Spungen. In the picture of the infamous punk rock couple, Vicious is wearing a shirt that features a swastika in the center. Spungen was murdered in 1978 and Vicious was arrested for her murder, but before his case when to trial, he died of a heroin overdose in 1979. In the photo’s caption, Ye posted an emoji of a goat, which is most likely a nod to the acronym GOAT (greatest of all time). The photo has since been taken down. 

Since the early morning of Feb. 7, Ye has continued to make a series of antisemitic and offensive comments on X, all of which he deleted shortly after posting. He talked about disliking Jews, praised Hitler, and called himself a Nazi and a racist – comments which he said he is “never apologizing” for. He also sold on Yeezy.com a t-shirt featuring a swastika and bought a commercial that aired during Super Bowl LIX this month to direct viewers to his Yeezy website to purchase the item. The website was then shut down by Shopify, the e-commerce platform that the Yeezy website uses to sell its products. Yeezy.com is back online but only features a message on the home page that says “Yeezy stores coming soon.”

Ye said on X this month he would never “trust or work with Jewish people” again, he doesn’t “like or trust any Jewish person,” “I love Hitler”, and “Me loving Hitler is old news.” He insisted that he was “completely sober” while writing the series of antisemitic posts and said, “This is how I really feel how I really felt and how I will always feel.”

“Some of my best friends are Jewish, and I don’t trust any of them,” Ye added. In some of his other deleted comments this month, the rapper claimed, “I stand on everything I said And nobody finna ever make me apologize again.” He additionally shared a screenshot of a search he did on Google that read “in 2025 how do you apply to become a Nazi.”

More recently, Ye contradicted some of his previous statements. On Feb. 19, he wrote on X, “after further reflection I’ve come to the realization that I’m not a Nazi” and wrote on Feb. 21 that he does like Jewish people “very much.”

Portnoy called Ye “one of the absolute greatest pieces of s–t of all time” while speaking to the Daily Mail shortly after the rapper’s Feb. 7 antisemitic rant on X.

“I am Jewish and proud of it, so anyone who is pro-Hitler and says he is a Nazi, I have no room for in my life,” he said. “I think the people who prop him up, surround him and say he’s not a jerk — if he’s sick, put him in a hospital. I have no room for people like Kanye in my world. Kanye is one of the worst humans of all time … Kanye may be sick. In which case, get him his meds and put him in a mental institution.”
