Kanye West is being dragged online for seemingly using a Nazi symbol on his new clothing collection, which he dropped on the day after Christmas.
Yeezy’s clothing features a symbol similar to a Wolfsangel worn by the SS (Storm Troopers) during World War 2 on several items.
According to the ADL, “It appeared as part of the divisional insignia of several Waffen-SS units, including the notorious 2nd SS “Das Reich” Panzer Division. As a result, it became a symbol of choice for neo-Nazis in Europe and the United States. In the United States, the neo-Nazi group Aryan Nations incorporated the Wolfsangel into their logo.”
Now Kanye is making logos that resemble the Wolfsangel.
Today, the symbol is associated with neo-Nazis and is used by the Aryan Nations white supremacist gang as their logo.

Ye has not responded directly to the backlash but he did post a cryptic message on his social media.
“Come on, man. You know that sh*t is hosed down,” he said on Instagram Story. “You know that sh*t mopped. Sh*t scrubbed.”
