Charlie Puth Slams Kanye West’s Super Bowl Ad Over Swastika Shirt

Charlie Puth has spoken out against Kanye West’s recent Super Bowl ad, condemning it as “incredibly dangerous.” In a passionate Instagram Story, Puth urged the controversial rapper to stop his actions, expressing concern about the impact of West’s message. “Please man, I beg you to stop,” Puth wrote, addressing the alarming nature of the ad that aired during the high-profile event.

In the ad, West directed viewers to his Yeezy brand’s website, where a T-shirt featuring a swastika was prominently displayed. While the site originally showcased various products, by Monday morning, only this shirt remained. This prompted a strong response from Puth, who stressed that millions of people are influenced by West, making the message even more concerning.

The Anti-Defamation League also condemned West’s actions, pointing out that the swastika is a historical symbol of hate, associated with Hitler’s Nazi regime and continuing to instill fear in targeted communities. Their statement emphasized the dangers of promoting such messages, especially when amplified through platforms like the Super Bowl.

While the ad was a local buy, it still garnered significant attention. The Yeezy commercial, reportedly paid for by Yeezy LLC, later aired again on Fox after the Super Bowl. The T-shirt featured on the site was also labeled “HH-01,” a chilling reference to “Heil Hitler,” further fueling concerns about West’s dangerous rhetoric.

This latest controversy follows just days after West made headlines at the 2025 Grammy Awards, where he defended his wife’s revealing outfit, a gesture that only added to the mounting scrutiny surrounding his public actions.

As these events unfold, many are left questioning the responsibility of celebrities and influencers when it comes to the messages they promote, particularly those with the power to influence millions of people worldwide.
