A swastika was painted on the side of Kanye West’s Yeezy HQ in Hollywood – in the aftermath of him posted antisemitic comments on X.

The photos were taken on Melrose Avenue, Hollywood, California, on March 23 at 7am.

The local who spotted the graffiti and took the photos said she was ‘shocked’ and got a ‘cold chill’. It is not known who is responsible for the graffiti. 

A few hours after the symbol was spotted, a man tried to remove the swastika and the police were called to the scene.

Hours later it was seen covered up with grey paint but the faded outline of the shape was still visible.  

The building was bought by Kanye West – also known as Ye – in March 2023 and has largely been left empty while construction work takes place.

Recently, Kanye West has faced backlash for antisemitic slurs he made on the social media website X

Recently, Kanye West has faced backlash for antisemitic slurs he made on the social media website X.

Posting on the site, Kanye said ‘I love Hitler’ and ‘I’m a Nazi’ – resulting in him being dropped from his talent agency earlier this year.

The local – who wants to remain anonymous – said: ‘I got a chill down my spine as it is a big old swastika.

‘I am from the area, there is always a lot of graffiti as it is an artsy area, but I have never seen anything like this – it was very shocking.

‘We have seen Kanye a few times, when he first bought the building, he had a fashion show in there.’

Just last week Kanye fans were seen wearing swastika shirts in the line to audition for his revived Sunday Service in LA.

The disgraced rapper – who was seen with a mystery Bianca Censori lookalike at the gathering – has praised Hitler and even sold merch featuring the symbol of the German Nazi Party and those ideals seem to be reflected in his supporters as one of the choir hopefuls sported a top with a swastika on it.

Weeks ago Kanye was branded ‘downright dangerous’ in a statement to DailyMail.com by the Anti-Defamation League and condemned by multiple other groups due to his sale of a swastika T-Shirt line.

This came after the rapper posted another shock stream of posts, showcasing a new set of shirts and logos emblazoned with swastikas to his 33.3 million followers on the platform.

West showcased a new set of shirts and logos emblazoned with swastikas on X Saturday evening, with what appeared to be a reference to the gas chambers used in the Holocaust  

West was unabashed in his latest line of Nazi-inspired couture – a collection of long and short-sleeve tops in black, white and red with swastikas in the center, adding that the product was ‘coming in crispy.’

The ‘crispy’ line was ostensibly a reference to Holocaust extermination camps where Jewish people were gassed and incinerated.

ADL CEO and National Director Jonathan Greenblatt told Dailymail.com exclusively in response at the time, ‘There is no excuse – none – for praising Hitler. Glorifying a genocidal dictator with swastika merch is not ‘edgy’ or ‘controversial.’ 

‘When someone with Kanye’s influence spreads Nazi glorification, it emboldens extremists. It’s unacceptable and downright dangerous.’

The 24-time Grammy winner himself modeled the shirts in wearing a black t-shirt with silver swastika with the caption, ‘never mention money.’

Kanye’s recent behavior has led to rumors that his aforementioned wife Censori, 30, is planning to divorce the rapper which originally came  amid a shocking antisemitic tirade he delivered on Elon Musk’s social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

West declared ‘I love Hitler’ and ‘I’m a Nazi’ in the torrent of offensive posts, and he even announced that he would be selling a shirt decorated with a swastika.

West later said that he was deactivating his X account after thanking Musk for allowing him to vent.

Little enforcement action appeared to have been taken against West and his offensive posts, many of which appear to have violated the social media platforms terms of service and were reported by numerous users.

However, days after West voluntarily logged off, Musk – who has been leading a firing spree against federal employees – said West’s account had been shut down.

West renewed his attack on the Jewish community last week, referring to himself as a Nazi, claiming he ‘loved Hitler,’ and insisting that he will never ‘trust or work with Jewish people’ again. 

‘IM NEVER APOLOGIZING FOR MY JEWISH COMMENTS I CAN SAY WHATEVER THE F**K I WANNA SAY FOREVER WHERES MY F***ING APOLOGY FOR FREEZING MY ACCOUNTS SUCK MY D**K HOWS THAT FOR AN APOLOGY,’ he wrote.

Hours later he promoted his ‘greatest performance art piece thus far’ – a swastika T-shirt – during the Super Bowl.

He stated: ‘So funny how N****** rapping about killing N****** is not hate but posting a swastika is hate.’

His Yeezy site was swiftly suspended by its hosts Shopify, with Isla Fisher and David Schwimmer spearheading a growing number of celebrities condemning him.

Censori has yet to publicly address her husband’s comments, which she was initially unaware of.

‘Bianca was unaware that he was doing this,’ a source told DailyMail.com last week. ‘They’re in LA and he started this in the middle of the night.’

Last year a separate insider claimed Censori was ‘really sick of his attention seeking’ and concerned that his outbursts were ‘making her look like she is anti-Semitic which is so far from the truth.’
