50 Cent has now joined those reacting to Ye’s public appearance in a t-shirt featuring a Nazi swastika.
Taking to Instagram, Fif shared a snap of Ye wearing the controversial shirt and expressed his bewilderment about the motivation behind such a choice.
“I don’t understand why HELP ME understand!” Fif wrote in his post.
Ye recently made heads turn in Los Angeles when spotted sporting a t-shirt displaying the hate symbol. In footage released by TMZ, Ye deliberately positioned himself to ensure his shirt and its offensive imagery were clearly visible to cameras.
After the video circulated online, Ye jumped on X to declare, “It was always a dream of mine to walk around with a swastika T on.”
The timing of Ye’s controversial fashion choice left many scratching their heads, especially since just days earlier he had posted on X, “After further reflection I’ve come to the realization that I’m not a Nazi.”
Yet before this apparent change of heart, Ye seemed determined to convince everyone he was indeed aligned with Nazi ideology. Throughout early February, his X feed was filled with posts containing blatant homophobic language and racist viewpoints.
Adding to the controversy, Ye is currently battling a lawsuit from an ex-Yeezy employee who claims he bullied Jewish staff members and praised Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.
The woman behind the lawsuit alleges she was terminated after standing up against Ye’s workplace antisemitism. She states that Ye messaged her and another Jewish colleague in a group chat saying, “Welcome to the first day of working for Hitler.”
