50 Cent Reacts To Kanye West Swastika Saga: ‘Help Me Understand’
50 Cent is kind of confused by Kanye West‘s infatuation with Nazi iconography.
On Friday (Feb. 28), the rapper born Curtis Jackson took to Instagram with a command of the day for his 34 million followers: “I don’t understand why? HELP ME understand!”
The post featured a picture of Ye posing in some of his controversial swastika merchandise, with a caption that read: “Ye Spotted Wearing Swastika T-Shirt In Public Following Nazi Comments,” as published by TMZ.
TMZ’s post arrived the same day that Ye issued a slew of posts on X/Twitter celebrating his love for the co-opted symbolism. A series xweets found the man claiming that “It was always a dream of mine to walk around with a swastika T on.”
“NI**AS RAP ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE THEY KILLED BUT THEY SCARED TO WEAR A SWASTIKA T-SHIRT CAUSE THEY LABELS AND MANAGERS AND STREAMING SERVICES AND TOURING COMPANIES MOB UP TO STOP NI**AS MONEY,” he typed in another post about his clothing. “NOBODY BETTER NEVER SAY SH*T TO ME ABOUT MY T-SHIRT. WHITE PEOPLE WHO ARE AGAINST THE SWASTIKA DON’T WANT TO HAVE A CONVO ABOUT BLACK ABORTION.”
Ye then doubled down, showing off a mock-up of a diamond-encrusted swastika chain, embezzled with a flurry of jewels. West explained that he would be looking to get people swastika chains made for them and left an email for potential buyers to reach out.
West previously explained that he wouldn’t be making another apology to the Jewish community for his love for Hitler and all things Nazi. In early February, the Chicago artist asserted that he could “say whatever the f**k I wanna say forever.”
“F**K ALL OF YOUR F**K A** UNFAIR BUSINESS DEALS [ANY] JEWISH PERSON THAT DOES BUSINESS WITH ME NEEDS TO KNOW I DON’T LIKE OR TRUST ANY JEWISH PERSON,” Ye posted, adding, “[AND] THIS IS COMPLETELY SOBER WITH NO [HENNESSY].”
“IM NEVER APOLOGIZING FOR MY JEWISH COMMENTS,” he continued. “I CAN SAY WHATEVER THE F**K I WANNA SAY FOREVER. WHERES MY F**KING APOLOGY FOR FREEZING MY ACCOUNTS, SUCK MY D**K, HOWS THAT FOR AN APOLOGY?”
I hope that helps with 50 Cent’s request for a better understanding.
