“It was always a dream of mine to walk around with a Swastika T on,” the 47-year-old artist wrote on X Friday.

TMZ reported he wore a white T-shirt with the black symbol associated with antisemitism on Thursday in Los Angeles.

“I am a Nazi,” he wrote on X on Feb. 7.

The artist had been selling the T-shirt on his site. In 2022, Adidas ended a partnership with him over his antisemitic comments.

In 2020, Kim Kardashian disclosed the father of her four children lived with mental health issues. She filed for divorce in 2021.

“As many of you know, Kanye has bipolar disorder,” she wrote on Instagram.

The two were married when Kanye West visited the White House and during a meeting with President Donald Trump in 2018 said he had been misdiagnosed.

“I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder,” Ye said. “I was connected with a neuropsychologist that works with the athletes in the NBA and the NFL ... he said that I actually wasn’t bipolar; I had sleep deprivation, which could cause dementia.”
