Matthew Koma is responding to Kanye West‘s antisemitism with charity.

On Monday, February 10, Koma shared on Instagram that he is selling shirts that say “F— YE” in response to the rapper’s recent antisemitic slur-ridden rants and attempting to sell a shirt with a swastika printed on it.

“Hey I can make a shirt too – link in bio , all proceeds to the blue card holocaust survivor charity,” Koma, 37, captioned the post. The charity provides financial support to Holocaust survivors in need. The shirts range from sizes S to 3XL and cost $20.

The shirt is on preorder, according to the website Koma is selling them from. All orders containing the expletive-laced shirt will ship in between two and four weeks.

West, 47, attempted to sell T-shirts with swastikas printed on them following a 30-second Super Bowl commercial that aired in local markets on Sunday, Feb. 9. In the clip, West encouraged viewers to visit his website, Yeezy.com.

Variety reported that there were several other items Sunday night, but as of Tuesday, Feb. 11, there was only the white T-shirt with swastikas. As of publishing, the website is defunct, reading “Something went wrong” and “This store is unavailable.”

Days before the Super Bowl commercial, West posted slur-ridden antisemitic rants on X on Thursday, Feb. 6, claiming that antisemitism is “just some bulls— Jewish people made up” and that he was “never apologizing for my Jewish comments.”

He also defended Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is in jail awaiting trial for federal sex crimes after being denied bail three times. Combs, 55, was charged of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution in September and faces trial in May.

As of Feb. 10, his X account has been deactivated.

Most recently, West’s talent agency dropped him. Music agent Daniel McCartney of 33&West announced the change on his Instagram Stories on Monday, Feb. 10.

“Effective immediately, I’m no longer representing YE (F/K/A Kanye West) due to his harmful and hateful remarks that myself nor 33 & West can stand for.”
