Kanye West's latest expansion of his swastika T-shirt line has been condemned by multiple groups, including the Anti-Defamation League, who characterized the rapper's most recent series of X posts as 'unacceptable and downright dangerous.'
The Runaway artist, 47, on Saturday posted another shock stream of posts, showcasing a new set of shirts and logos emblazoned with swastikas to his 33.3 million followers on the platform.
West was unabashed in his latest line of Nazi-inspired couture - a collection of long and short-sleeve tops in black, white and red with swastikas in the center, adding that the 'product was coming in crispy.'
The crispy line was ostensibly a reference to Holocaust extermination camps where Jewish people were gassed and incinerated.
ADL CEO and National Director Jonathan Greenblatt told Dailymail.com exclusively in response on Monday, 'There is no excuse - none - for praising Hitler. Glorifying a genocidal dictator with swastika merch is not "edgy" or "controversial."
'When someone with Kanye’s influence spreads Nazi glorification, it emboldens extremists. It’s unacceptable and downright dangerous.'
The 24-time Grammy winner himself modeled the shirts in wearing a black t-shirt with silver swastika with the caption, 'never mention money.'
The Chicago native continued with the antisemitic sentiments despite a recent set of personal complications stemming from his outspoken views on Jewish people.
'I TRULY LIKE JEWISH PEOPLE,' West said Saturday. 'THEY [JUST] CAN NO LONGER BE THE CREATIVE DIRECTORS OF THE PLANET ... THEY ARE THE BULLYS... NO IM THE BULLY.'

Sometimes I wonder how dangerous paid speech is.
Bipolarism is a terrible condition.
Indeed.
Very, I’d say.
Can they commit him?
“The crispy line was ostensibly a reference to Holocaust extermination camps where Jewish people were gassed and incinerated.”
That’s a serious reach. Why even bring it up?
Either that or give him his 25th Grammy.
How did it come to be that this country glorifies mentally sick people?
He needs to be Shadow Banned, before he influences even more mixed up wing nuts searching for ways to look powerful.
Yeah, I've heard that a time or two.
Are Rebel Flags next?
Have you ever told the voices in your head to shut up or you’ll poke them with a Q-Tip?
(betting you’ve heard this old joke before a time or too as well.)
Probably, like they tried to eradicate when Nikki Haley started the war on the Confederate flag and monuments when she was governor. The ADL needs to shut their trap.
Let him roll. He’s hurting no one but himself.
I wonder how much money he’s making with his merchandise.
Is he aware of how many black people the Nazis killed?
adopting the symbol of your enemies is the ultimate takeover of their power.
don’t be a dummy, be a smarty, come and join the nazi party.
Kardashian should have done so YEARS ago.
