“That's vandalism”: Internet reacts as locals cover up Swastika symbol of Kanye West’s YZY headquarters 

Images of Kanye West’s YZY headquarters are making the rounds on X, and this is because unidentified persons covered up the Swastika sign on the office wall with brown paper and red paint.

Before the alteration, photos showed a large white fence bearing the controversial Swastika logo in black. Later on, we see the tiled wall of the Yeezy headquarters covered with brown paper and red markings.

These recent happenings are in the wake of Kanye West declaring himself a N*zi, launching shirts with the Swastika emblem and making contentious statements about Jews.

@GoodAssSub shared the news about the Yeezy headquarters, and @AdriennePa13182 tweeted in response:

“That's vandalism.”

Other comments shared similar sentiments as X users criticized the act of the vandals:

“Put it higher and place a camera; press charges on anyone who defaces private property. Vandalism will not be tolerated,” @_IAmInvictus stated.

“Make the Swastika sign bigger and get 24/7 security surrounding the building. Let them b**** ni**as know you ain’t fucking around,” @wBoredApeYC tweeted.

“Put these vandals in prison,” @xp0ten stated.

More X users condemned the defacing of the Yeezy headquarters' wall

“If you get bothered over a symbol your priorities are a mess. 99% chance of being poor,” @bringcitystar added.

“But they paint Swastikas on cars. Make it make sense,” @CH4DGPT noted.

More details on Kanye West's use of the Swastika logo

Kanye West became more active on X in February 2025 and since then has courted controversy with his statements and actions. On February 7, the rapper tweeted that he was a N*zi and expressed his love for Adolf Hitler.

Kanye West defended his post when he got called out for his statements labeled as antisemitic, tweeting:

"IM NEVER APOLOGIZING FOR MY JEWISH COMMENTS. I CAN SAY WHATEVER THE F*** I WANNA SAY FOREVER. WHERE MY F***ING APOLOGY FOR FREEZING MY ACCOUNTS? SU*K MY D*** HOWS THAT FOR AN APOLOGY.”

The rapper later unveiled a Swastika shirt design on his X account—the inverted H symbols are commonly associated with N*zis. The rapper described the shirt as his greatest performance art yet.

He sold the shirt on the Yeezy website before Shopify shut it down. On February 28, the Can’t Tell Me Nothin’ rapper announced that he was looking for a jeweler to create Swastika chain designs for him.

In March 2025, the rapper was spotted wearing a white shirt with the double H symbol in public. In the footage obtained by TMZ, the rapper wears a white shirt with the Swastika logo emblazoned on it.

Placing the controversial symbol outside his office building is the rapper’s latest stunt.
