Kanye West has once again created controversy, this time with his latest Yeezy merchandise drop on December 26. The new collection, featuring T-shirts, hoodies, and jackets priced at $20 each, drew significant backlash for its use of a logo resembling Nazi and white supremacist imagery. The symbol in question, the Wolfsangel, was associated with SS units during World War II and is now commonly used by neo-Nazi groups, including the Aryan Nations. Given Kanye’s history of controversial remarks and designs, many viewed this as a deliberate and provocative choice, reigniting criticism of his actions.
This is not the first time Kanye has faced such accusations. During his Yeezus era, he used Confederate flags, sparking similar outrage. However, his latest designs mark a new low, with critics describing the imagery as one of his most blatant and offensive provocations. Even some fan accounts have distanced themselves, calling out the design as unacceptable.
In recent months, Kanye’s controversies have been more about personal antics, such as legal battles, his wife Bianca Censori’s outfits, and speculation about new music. However, this latest incident underscores a troubling pattern in his creative choices. Many are left wondering if 2025 will bring a change in his behavior or if his career will continue to be overshadowed by such actions.
