Westside Gunn has responded to the backlash he's been receiving on Twitter for flipping an image of Nazi-branded cocaine into an album cover for his Hitler Wears Hermes series. Gunn posted the image on Twitter, over the weekend. In response, some fans argued that he took things too far.

"Y’all cosign his nazi fetish but demonize Ye for saying love everyone. I can’t stand y’all n***s," one user posted. Another wrote: "i understand the aesthetic and series name and whatnot but you might want to tone it down a little." Gunn replied in a post on Sunday: “WSG hate is the best shit on the internet. Bc while I’m getting hated on Im either in my mansion, a luxury vehicle, island with my entire family, or a 5star something in the best clothes money can buy, smelling great & worth MILLIONS or even places u couldn’t dare go bc I’m a [goat emoji].”
