Matthew Koma can no longer stand around and ignore Kanye West’s antisemitism!
The disgraced rapper has been on a days-long bender relentlessly berating the Jewish community with the most disturbing and evil hate speech we’ve honestly seen since… Well. Since WAY back. What started (this time) with a series of pro-Hitler posts on X (Twitter) — one of which he declared himself a “Nazi” in — escalated to something SO vile on Super Bowl Sunday. The I Love It rapper took out an ad directing viewers to purchase a new t-shirt available on his Yeezy website under the name “HH-01.” Any guesses what that’s code for? According to the Anti-Defamation League, “Heil Hitler.” Oh, and the shirt was a plain white tee with a massive Swastika on the front.
What the F**K?! How is that literally even allowed?!

Truly some really shocking s**t. But Hilary Duff’s husband won’t stand for it anymore.
On Monday, Matthew Koma questioned how such a hateful shirt could even be made available for sale. And shortly after, he debuted a t-shirt of his own on his Instagram page similar in its simple design to Kanye’s, but with an entirely different message. Instead of the hate symbol, his shirt reads:
“F**k Ye”
See (below):
Originally, Matthew noted that all the proceeds would be going to Backline, a mental health nonprofit which specifically aims to connect individuals in the music industry with mental health care. And while a lot of people in the comments loved the idea of the shirt, a ton pointed out that Matthew kind of missed the mark not donating the proceeds to a Jewish nonprofit:
“Great idea. Please consider giving the proceeds to an organization that helps Holocaust survivors like Blue Card.”
“@matthewkoma and the proceeds aren’t doing a dmn thing to combat antisemitism because?????”
“What about a holocaust education foundation like @mshefoundation? There are plenty of orgs dedicated to combatting antisemitism.”
“Sadly missing the mark by not donating to a Jewish charity. Kanye isn’t antisemitic because he has mental health issues and donating to a mental health organization diminishes the hate that Kanye is spewing towards Jews”
“Yesssss but to a Jewish organization”
Matthew explained in response to one commenter that the reason he chose a mental health nonprofit over a Jewish one is because he couldn’t find one of the latter he “trusted” — which rubbed a lot of followers the wrong way. But as of Tuesday morning, he’s taken the advice of many and updated his post to reveal the profits will now be going to the Blue Card Holocaust Survivor charity.
Good move, Matthew. OH, and if you wanted some reassuring news, the Yeezy website has officially been taken down amid the controversy. See (below):
