AceShowbiz - Kanye West seemingly can't make up his mind. After apologizing for his anti-Semitic rants, the "Vultures" rapper raised people's eyebrows when he was spotted wearing a T-shirt featuring a Norwegian musician known for his neo-Nazi views.
In some pictures shared by fellow musician JPEGMAFIA, Ye could be seen donning a black tee, which had the logo of the black metal project Burzum and a picture of its frontman, Kristian Vikernes a.k.a. Varg, on it. One of the most influential artists in the black metal genre, Vikernes was sentenced to 21 years in prison for murdering his Mayhem bandmate Euronymous and openly promoting Nazism in the '90s. He was also believed to be the founder of a neo-Nazi organization called Heathen Front that promoted antisemitic and white supremacist views.
The hip-hop star was also pictured flaunting his new $850,000 titanium dentures in one of the snaps. The "Baby I'm Bleeding" rapper captioned the Friday, January 19 post on Instagram, "can't talk right now. doing hot girl s**t."
It didn't take long for Internet users to notice the figure in Ye's tee. "Not kanye wearing a burzum shirt he ain’t coming back from this one," one wrote in a comment. "the burzum shirt is insane considering his views on jewish people LIKE LOL," another added.
Some others, meanwhile, expressed their opinions against the possible collaboration between JPEGMAFIA and Ye. "Ur better than this Peggy," a fan said, while someone else penned, "ive never been more disappointed in my life."
The new post came after it was reported that Ye gathered a camera crew "several weeks ago" to film a video of him apologizing for his anti-Semitism scandal. TMZ, however, claimed that the team was having a hard time to recognize what the rapper was saying in the 40-minute video. "At times it was impossible to decode what he was saying," the insider told the news outlet.
Last month, Ye made headlines for his public apology which was written in Hebrew. "I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any 'unintended outburst' caused by my words or actions," the rapper wrote last December, translated to English. "It was not my intention to hurt or demean, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused."
The Yeezy designer added that he vowed that he's "committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future." He concluded, "Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity."
