Within the midst of the slew of Tremendous Bowl LIX commercials together with however restricted to Nike’s spotlight of girls athletes or the bizarre Meta advert with Chris Hemsworth and a banana, we noticed one that includes Kanye West. Nevertheless, it appears the rapper used that 30 seconds to his trend model.
When you have been nonetheless sitting in entrance of your display screen through the business break from the Philadelphia Eagles whooping the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs, you might need seen the Chicago rapper pop up on the TV display screen sitting in a…dental chair. Sure, he purchased an commercial spot for native Los Angeles TV to promote his trend model, Yeezy, however with little to no manufacturing effort, we be taught from Selection.
“So what’s up, guys, I spent, like all the cash put a business on these new tooth. So as soon as once more, I needed to shoot it on the iPhone,” he mentioned within the video. “Um…um…go to yeezy.com.”
When you had adopted his directions and gone to his web site, you’ll discover a single article of clothes on the market: a $20 white tee with a black swastika on the entrance. There was no description or extra particulars to the shirt apart from the merchandise label “HH-01.” All we are able to collect is that it’s greater than possible an extension of Ye’s ongoing anti-semitic tirade.
Whereas we don’t know precisely how a lot he spent on the advert, phrase from CNN is a number of 30-second advertisements for the sport offered for $8 million. If his was one in every of them, you’re taking a look at about $266,666 a second spent on…what precisely?
The rapper was lately banned from X at 33 million followers after posting a collection of unprovoked anti-semitic posts the place he referred to as Adolf Hitler “so contemporary” and declared himself to be a Nazi.
Mockingly, he wrote, “I might by no means promote a swastika tee as a result of individuals could possibly be bodily harmed carrying it … I really like my followers and supporters,” in a publish earlier than his account was locked.
Seems to be like he was both hacked or spoke too quickly.
