Kanye West's website was banned by Shopify after he broke their rules

The ban on the Yeezy website happened after Ye released a lineup of new T-shirts featuring the swastika sign and they were priced at $20, as per CNN. Ye created headlines a few days ago when he shared multiple posts on X (formerly Twitter), where a few of them were antisemitic, and also included a tweet where he was spotted demanding that Diddy should be released from prison.

Kanye West's T-shirt received heavy criticism from different organizations, including the Anti-Defamation League, which shared a post on X and referred to the swastika symbol by writing:

"The swastika is the symbol adopted by Hitler as the primary emblem of the Nazis. It galvanized his followers in the 20th century and continues to threaten and instill fear in those targeted by antisemitism and white supremacy."

Speaking to CNN on February 11, 2025, a spokesperson for Shopify said that Kanye West was not involved in "authentic commerce practices," leading to a rule break due to which they decided to remove the Yeezy website. They further stated in another statement shared to The Hollywood Reporter, saying that all the merchants must follow the rules of their platform.

However, Shopify did not disclose anything about the rules that were violated on the website and their terms of service have mentioned that they have the right to restrict anything that might be "unsafe, inappropriate or offensive" for their platform.
