The rapper formerly known as Kanye West directed viewers to his website, where the homepage was selling a T-shirt with a swastika on the front.

One cannot help but notice that NBC is directing viewers to said website rather than other websites that are not owned by Kanye West and are not selling swastika T-shirts, which probably have a harder time getting potential customers to show up. I see that they also have pricing information and product photos.

One imagines that social media and similar probably also is directing a lot of people there.

This does suggest that West might be onto something.

In a world where people and organizations didn't discuss and link to the product, he might not have the same incentive.
