Looking to remain somewhat relevant following his and Bianca Censori’s controversial Grammys appearance, Kanye West purchased a Super Bowl commercial spot to air a strange Yeezy ad filmed on his phone. The ad appeared in local markets and was not aired nationally during the big game.

West appears at the dentist’s office in the ad and shoots the video using an iPhone’s front-facing camera.
“I spent like all the money for the commercial on these new teeth,” West declared. He then showed off his diamond-encrusted teeth. “Once again, I had to shoot it on the iPhone. Um… Um… Go to Yeezy.com.”
The site takes users to a page with clothes and shoes from the brand, along with song snippets, CDs, and vinyls. The ad revealed it was “paid for by Yeezy LLC” and aired again on Fox later Sunday evening.
X Allegedly ‘Limited’ Kanye West’s Account Following His Hate-Filled Rants
Minutes before his Super Bowl ad aired, Kanye West took to X (formerly Twitter) to reveal that his account was “limited” following days of his posting hate-filled, antisemitic rants as well as adult video content.
“MY TWITTER REACH HAS BEEN LIMITED SO I AM NOT ALLOWED TO TREND DOING SUPER BOWL,” he wrote. “I AM SETTING UP A DISCORD CHANEL ON MY WEBSITE WELCOME TO AMERICA.”
West has since deleted his X account. The move came after Friends star David Schwimmer called for Elon Musk to remove the rapper from the social media platform.
“We can’t stop a deranged bigot from spewing hate-filled, ignorant bile… but we CAN stop giving him a megaphone, Mr. Musk,” David addressed Elon. “Kanye West has 32.7 million followers on your platform, X. That’s twice as many people than the number of Jews in existence.”
Schwimmer stated West’s “sick hate speech” results in “real life violence” against those who practice the Jewish faith.
“I don’t know what’s worse,” Schwimmer wrote. “The fact that he identifies as a Nazi (which implies he wants to exterminate ALL marginalized communities including his own) or the fact that there is not sufficient OUTRAGE to remove and ban him from all social media at this point.”
The actor then added, “Silence is complicity.”
West seemingly acknowledged Schwimmer’s post by re-tweeting criticism against the actor. “I’m never apologizing for my Jewish comments,” he also stated.
