When you go to yeezy.com at this second, you may discover a popup saying “One thing went incorrect” or “This retailer is unavailable.” That error is as a result of the e-commerce platform behind Yeezy shut the web site down, citing violations of its phrases of service, NBC studies. Shopify clocked him, explaining they had been pressured to “prohibit merchandise or actions that we deem unsafe, inappropriate, or offensive.”
“All retailers are liable for following the principles of our platform. This service provider didn’t interact in genuine commerce practices and violated our phrases so we eliminated them from Shopify,” the platform mentioned in an announcement by way of NBC Information.
The motion comes after Ye streamed an area Los Angeles Tremendous Bowl advert of him sitting in a dental chair telling the viewers to go to his vogue web site. There was listed a $20 t-shirt with a black swastika printed on the entrance.
Shopify’s motion wasn’t the one lashing Ye took in response to his anti-semitism. Following his trolling commercial, his X account was deactivated after a collection of anti-semitic posts — one put up declaring himself to be a Nazi.
