Kanye West has asked jewellers to design a swastika chain for him.

On Thursday (February 27) the rapper took to Twitter/X to write: “For all jewelers, I’m looking for swastika chain designs,” alongside an animated video of a bedazzled swastika.

It was followed yesterday (February 28) by further posts doubling down on the recent backlash he’s faced for attempting to sell merchandise featuring the symbol.

In one now-deleted post, he said that some rappers write music about how many people they’ve killed, but are “SCARED TO WEAR A SWASTIKA T SHIRT”, as reported by Billboard. He then added that, “It was always a dream of mine to walk around with a Swastika T on.”

West first came under fire for selling a white T-shirt with a large swastika emblem on the chest last month, listed as “HH-01” on his website – possibly a reference to the “Heil Hitler” chant.

The aforementioned posting spree saw his X account taken down and deactivated, and it was later confirmed that the rapper had been dropped by his talent agency, and his former Chief Of Staff had quit the Yeezy company.

Kanye West’s X account was later reinstated, and he went on to write that his “rampage” was “90 per cent Jew proof” before going on to hint at his infamous anti-Semitic tirade a couple of years back that among many other outlandish claims, saw him tell the Jewish community that they needed to “forgive Hitler” for the Holocaust – comments he apologised for back in 2023.
