Kanye West Posts — Then Deletes — Video Wearing Swastika Chain With ‘White Supremacist Homeboy’ Nick Fuentes

Kanye West posted and deleted a video on X/Twitter of himself hanging out with avowed neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes, who West referred to as his “White supremacist homeboy.”
In the video, West wore a chain with a large, diamond-encrusted swastika on it. He was standing next to Fuentes inside some kind of large venue while loud music was blaring near them.
“Yo,” West said into the camera, “You know I’m here with my White supremacist homeboy Nick. We’re back.”
When West introduced Fuentes, he grinned and said, “What’s up?”
West and Fuentes actually have an extensive history together. The two made headlines following their infamous dinner with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago in 2022. Trump was widely condemned — even by his own allies — for hosting the controversial figures; and West only made the backlash worse when he appeared on InfoWars and proclaimed his affinity for Adolf Hitler.
In recent weeks, West has displayed a bizarre infatuation with the swastika. Seemingly doubling down in response to accusations of anti-Semitism, the rapper sold a t-shirt with the symbol on his website and has been seen wearing it in public. Back in August 2024, Fuentes claimed West even floated the idea of somehow legally changing his name to a swastika.
Fuentes – who has denied the Holocaust and called for non-Christians to be executed — has long been active on the far-right in American politics and in the past has hosted a conference meant to be counter-programming to CPAC, which included speeches by Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Paul Gosar (R-AZ).
Fuentes leads the so-called “Groyper Army,” a loose network of alt-right figures who are vocal supporters of white nationalist ideals, often trolling mainstream conservative events to try and move conservatism more toward the far-right.
