Kanye West already apologized to the Jewish community for his antisemitic rants and for praising Nazi leader Adolf Hilter in December 2023, but less than a month later, he is back to his old, "offensive, and disturbing" ways.
According to reports, the "Gold Digger" rapper was seen wearing a graphic black shirt with the logo of the Norweigan metal band Burzum and its frontman Kristian "Varg" Vikernes on the front.
Netizens were appalled by the shirt and West's lack of sincerity regarding his recently issued apology; many called him out for not learning and growing from his past actions.
Kanye West Apologises to the Jewish Community
According to reports, West took to social media to issue an apology after his non-stop rants about antisemitism online; the apology was written in Hebrew.
"I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions, it was not my intention to hurt or disrespect, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused," read the statement.
"I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future."
Netizens called out West for wearing the shirt with the face of a Neo-Nazi: "The t-shirt Ye West is wearing is a Norwegian Nazi black metal band. It was a one man band. He was convicted for the murder of another musician and for burning some churches in Norway. He's an antisemite wearing a Nazi band t-shirt."
"Bro didn't mean a word of what he said I'm f**king crying."
"Too much going on here, where do we even start?" Another added about the picture.
Who is on Kanye West's Shirt?
According to reports, aside from being labeled a Neo-Nazi, Vikernes is a known antisemite and has his fair share of legal troubles as well.
The metal rock band's frontman was convicted of stabbing a musician to death; he also burned down several churches.
"When somebody you dislike for no legit reason actually does something awful so you feel vindicated," one wrote.
"This might be the ugliest picture of the year already," another remarked.
As of this writing, West is yet to issue a statement regarding the backlash and criticisms hurled at him online.
