Rapper Kanye West, who now goes by Ye, released an ad during the Super Bowl that directed people to his website Yeezy.com, which now only sells one item: a white T-shirt with a black swastika.
The rapper filmed the 30-second advertisement on his iPhone while in a chair in what appeared to be a dentist’s office.
“I spent like all the money for the commercial on these new teeth,” he said, flashing his new diamond-encrusted pearly whites. “Once again, I had to shoot it on the iPhone. Um … Um … Go to Yeezy.com.”
The 47-year-old West has a history of anti-Israel, antisemitic rhetoric.

He recently posted a farewell on X, formerly known as Twitter, shortly after a slew of anti-Jewish, racist rants on the platform. These posts included “I’m a Nazi” and “I love Hitler.”
He said he would never apologize for his “Jewish comments” and stated that Jews should be slaves again, a reference to the biblical story of Jews being slaves in Egypt.
“I’m logging out of Twitter,” West wrote to his 32 million followers on X on Sunday night. “I appreciate Elon for allowing me to vent. It has been very cathartic to use the world as a sounding board.”
He is referring to Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X who holds the position of head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the Trump administration.
Before West left the platform, Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) and actor David Schwimmer, star of the longtime “Friends” sitcom, condemned him for his posts.
Last year, West also bought a Super Bowl ad for his website, but it wasn’t seen in New York or Los Angeles, according to Variety.
