Matthew Koma’s stance against has sparked an increase in donations for Holocaust survivors.

Nearly two days after Hilary Duff’s husband decided to sell white T-shirts that read “F— Ye,” which is West’s current stage name, Us Weekly has learned an estimated $18,000 has been donated through The Blue Card’s website.

According to The Blue Card, the monetary amount reflects direct donations to the non-profit organization, which is dedicated to providing financial assistance to destitute Holocaust survivors in the United States. It doesn’t include the direct sales of Koma’s “F— Ye” T-shirts.

Koma, 37, chose to highlight the organization after West, 47, started selling a Yeezy shirt that featured a swastika. West’s website, however, shut down on Tuesday, February 11, after Shopify pulled his online storefront for violating the E-commerce platform’s terms of service.

The Blue Card also confirmed to Us that the Winnetka Bowling League frontman plans to match donations.

“We are so grateful to Matthew Koma and to Hilary Duff for quickly springing into action and realizing that this is not OK and they have to do something and utilizing fashion to get the word out,” The Blue Card’s executive director Masha Pearl told TMZ in an interview published Thursday, February 13. “They learned about The Blue Card on their own and basically reached out and had quickly created the T-shirt.”

Pearl added that Holocaust survivors reaching out are now being offered trauma assistance and emotional support through The Blue Card.

In addition to selling Nazi-related merchandise, West came under fire for his recent antisemitic social media rant. The rapper took to X on Friday, February 7, to make offensive remarks about the Jewish community.

Stars including Isla Fisher and David Schwimmer have since slammed West for his antisemitic comments. The Friends star also expressed hopes that the Grammy winner would be removed from Elon Musk’s X platform.

“We can’t stop a deranged bigot from spewing hate-filled, ignorant bile…but we CAN stop giving him a megaphone, Mr. Musk,” Schwimmer, 58, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, February 9. “Kanye West has 32.7 million followers on your platform, X. That’s twice as many people than the number of Jews in existence. His sick hate speech results in REAL LIFE violence against Jews.”

West has not publicly commented on Koma’s T-shirts.
