Swastika Graffiti at Kanye West’s Yeezy HQ Sparks Outrage
On March 26, 2025, a swastika was discovered graffitied on the exterior of Kanye West’s Yeezy headquarters in Hollywood. A local resident, who noticed the symbol and documented it, expressed shock and unease upon the discovery. Shortly after, an individual attempted to remove the graffiti, prompting a police response to the scene. The offensive symbol was later covered with gray paint, though its faint outline remained visible.
This incident adds to a series of controversies surrounding Kanye West. In recent months, he has faced backlash for promoting merchandise featuring hate symbols. Notably, his online store offered a white T-shirt emblazoned with a black swastika, leading to the e-commerce platform Shopify shutting down the site to prevent the sale of such items.
Furthermore, West’s Super Bowl advertisement directed viewers to his website, which prominently displayed the swastika-adorned T-shirt as its sole product. These actions have elicited widespread condemnation and raised concerns about the rapper’s recent behavior.
The appearance of the swastika at the Yeezy headquarters has intensified public scrutiny and sparked discussions about the implications of such symbols in public spaces.
