Shopify takes down Ye website selling swastika shirts after Super Bowl ad
The rapper ran a Super Bowl ad directing viewers to visit Yeezy.com, where it promoted a $20 black t-shirt with a swastika.
Shopify President Harley Finkelstein told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" Tuesday that the website's owners "had an entire day" to prove they weren't violating the company's policies, "which did not happen." In the days leading up to the Super Bowl, Ye had shared posts praising Adolf Hitler and calling himself a Nazi on the social media site X, which is owned by Elon Musk. Months later, his account was reinstated, a decision the company reportedly made after it received reassurances from Ye that he wouldn't use the platform to share antisemitic content, according to The Wall Street Journal.
