In reference to the removal of the Yeezy website, a Shopify spokesperson stated, “All merchants are responsible for following the rules of our platform. This merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms so we removed them from Shopify.”

The store was apparently shut down because it ‘did not engage in authentic commerce practices.’

Rapper Kanye West Went had been posting antisemitic and misogynistic tweets for days before listing a swastika T-shirt for sale on the Yeezy website, which has since been taken down.
