EXCLUSIVE: Kanye West Says He's Not Racist — But We Reveal the HUNDREDS of 'Sick & Bigoted' Trademark Applications He's Made
A paper trail tells a different story.
Groveling Kanye West has backtracked on his Nazi worship by stating in a new letter his anti-Semitism was the result of him getting banged up in a 2002 car smash.
But KEEPING TABS can reveal West, who legally changed his name to Ye, has filed 26 trademark applications alone for the name “Yews.”
The name is widely considered distasteful due to their phonetic similarity to the word “Jews,” following his numerous public anti-Semitic statements.
And in the 12 months leading up to early 2026, West filed numerous trademark applications through his company, Ox Paha Inc., which were deemed “dead” or abandoned by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
