Kanye West splashed out millions on a Super Bowl commercial, and within hours of it rolling, Yeezy was selling pro-Nazi clothing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you watched the biggest\u00a0sporting<\/a>\u00a0event of the year, then you may recall seeing the rapper-turned-fashion-designer appearing on your screens during the commercial break.<\/p>\n

Kanye West called on Super Bowl fans to visit\u00a0yeezy.com<\/a>\u00a0– which has since been taken down (Fox)<\/cite><\/div>\n

Once again, his ad was as cheap as they come – having done similar last year. He’s seen sitting in what appears to be a dentist’s chair before stuttering: “So what\u2019s up, guys, I spent, like all the\u00a0money<\/a>\u00a0for the commercial on these new teeth. So once again, I had to shoot it on the\u00a0iPhone<\/a>. Erm\u2026 erm\u2026 go to yeezy.com.”<\/p>\n

He received plaudits from the masses online, but it soon turned bitter as around an hour after it aired, there were t-shirts emblazoned with swastikas on them up for sale – that weren’t on Yeezy’s website at the time of the commercial.<\/p>\n

How Yeezy sold Nazi-related t-shirts after Super Bowl ad<\/h2>\n

You might be thinking ‘how did Kanye West and Yeezy get away with selling t-shirts with swastikas printed on them?’… well, as I’ve just mentioned, he actually didn’t have the pro-Nazi t-shirts on the website at the time of the advert.<\/p>\n

Roughly an hour later, the only thing yeezy.com was selling was a single t-shirt with a swastika on it.<\/p>\n

Yeezy’s Nazi-related t-shirt which features a swastika with the item titled ‘HH-01’, which the Anti-Defamation League claim is a nod to ‘Heil Hitler’ (yeezy.com<\/a>)<\/cite><\/div>\n

Three\u00a0TV<\/a>\u00a0stations owned by Fox, including KTTV\u00a0Los Angeles<\/a>, played his commercial – although there may have been more outlets playing it.<\/p>\n

The spaces that he booked out for his advert are usually taken by local\u00a0businesses<\/a>\u00a0of whatever network it aired on, and with the 30-second commercial not raising any red flags itself, it was free to make it to air.<\/p>\n

However, once it made it onto the local ad rotation, that’s when the controversial rapper made his move.<\/p>\n

One insider said per Variety: “It was such a small ad, I don\u2019t think anyone put two and two together. The copy was clean, the website was clean, and so they did their due diligence with that little part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kanye West’s fashion label Yeezy has seen its website taken down (yeezy.com<\/a>)<\/cite><\/div>\n

Yeezy.com closed down<\/h2>\n

In response to the\u00a0fashion<\/a>\u00a0designer posting a t-shirt with the symbol used by Adolf Hilter’s Nazi party, yeezy.com has been closed down and is no longer accessible.<\/p>\n

Instead, shoppers will be met with an error message which states: “This store is unavailable.”<\/p>\n

Shopify, the e-commerce platform which hosts a string of online businesses including Yeezy, shared the following statement with NBC News which explained why it was taken down: “All merchants are responsible for following the rules of our platform.<\/p>\n

“This merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms so we removed them from Shopify.”<\/p>\n
