David Draiman criticized Kanye West’s new merchandise on X.
Draiman Calls Out West For ‘Pathetic’ Behavior
In a post, the Disturbed frontman shared a design with a middle finger emoji, writing, “Hey Kanye West, here’s a design for you.”
He added, “You’re nothing but a Jew hating, misogynistic, pathetic, attention starved A**HOLE.”
“You’ve destroyed any legacy you once had. You will be remembered as a sad, angry excuse of a man, without honor, without decency, and without a soul,” Draiman continued.
Hey @kanyewest
Here’s a design for you 🖕🏻
You’re nothing but a Jew hating, misogynistic, pathetic, attention starved ASSHOLE.
You’ve destroyed any legacy you once had. You will be remembered as a sad, angry excuse of a man, without honor, without decency, and without a soul.

On Thursday, West tweeted that he was looking for ‘swastika chain designs,’ sharing a video showing a 3D diamond swastika on a design site.
“For all jewelers I’m looking for swastika chain designs,” West wrote, adding the email address “[email protected]” in the caption.
West Faces Legal Issues After Selling Swastika T-Shirts Online
Earlier this month, Kanye began selling T-shirts featuring a swastika on his website, but it was soon taken down for violating the platform’s rules, according to the Independent. Shopify, which hosted Yeezy.com, deactivated the site after the company said it didn’t follow the platform’s policies.
A spokesperson for Shopify explained, “All merchants are responsible for following the rules of our platform. The merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms so we removed them.”
Shopify’s rules prohibit products or activities that are ‘unsafe, inappropriate, or offensive.’ The store was shut down after West purchased ad space during the Super Bowl for a Yeezy commercial.
In a video filmed with an iPhone, West, sitting in a dentist’s chair, encouraged people to visit his website, where he was selling a white t-shirt with a swastika. A former Yeezy employee later sued West, claiming he targeted her for being Jewish, sent her inappropriate material, and insulted her appearance when she was upset, as reported by Rolling Stone.
The employee, identified as Jane Doe in the lawsuit, stated that West called himself Hitler and a Nazi. She claimed to have been mistreated during her six-month employment and fired after reporting the behavior. The lawsuit includes accusations of discrimination, harassment, and wrongful termination.
