Kanye West seems to be embracing Nazi sentiments yet again — this time wearing a shirt with the face of a self-proclaimed neo-Nazi who’s very well known in the metal scene.
Rapper JPEGMAFIA posted a pic Friday showing him standing next to Ye … with the latter flashing his new platinum “teeth” and JPEG just muggin’. Just a few days ago, JPEG was publicly griping that KW wasn’t acknowledging his talents in the studio … now, this.
On its face, it looks like he and Ye made peace and came together for this photo-op — but the bigger takeaway is Yeezy’s wardrobe here … specifically, what he’s wearing up top.
It’s a band T-shirt for the Norwegian black metal group BURZUM, and a photo of their lead singer Varg Vikernes plastered right below. The problem … Varg is a known antisemite, something that’s been well-documented in his career, for which he’s faced legal trouble too.
The question … why the hell is Ye wearing a shirt with a known neo-Nazi on it???
Of course, Kanye himself has been embroiled in nonstop controversy over the past year and change as it pertains to antisemitism — and while he has attempted to walk those statements back of late, here he is within the past day or so rockin’ a freaking BURZUM shirt.
It’s possible Ye doesn’t know about Varg’s neo-Nazi ties — but frankly, it’s way too much of a coincidence considering the timing of everything. There’s also an album cover connection.
When Kanye revealed the cover art for his new album “Vultures” … folks quickly noticed that it looked very similar to BURZUM’s album cover art over the years — like, down to a T almost.
Now, if Kanye is aware who Varg is and what his ugly history entails — which many suspect to be the case — it would certainly seem to lend more credence to the notion that his apology in Hebrew last month was … well, kinda meaningless.
We already shed light on the fact that his mea culpa may well have been generated by AI — and remember, we just reported that he was said to have recorded some lengthy new apology on camera quite recently … which were told was rambling and all over the place.
With this latest development … we’re not really sure Kanye stands on all this. On its face, though … it would appear not much has changed in terms of how he feels about Jews.
