Kanye West has now had both his Instagram and Twitter accounts locked after antisemitic posts over the weekend.
Twitter locked his account Sunday after it removed one of West’s tweets saying he was going “death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE” because it violated the service’s policies against hate speech.
“I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda,” he tweeted on Saturday in a series of messages. The tweet has since been removed and West’s account locked.
“The account in question has been locked due to a violation of Twitter’s policies,” a spokesperson for the platform told BuzzFeed News.
The social media company Meta also restricted West’s Instagram account after the rapper made an antisemitic post on Friday in which he appeared to suggest the rapper Diddy was controlled by Jewish people, an antisemitic trope, NBC News reported.
The controversial rapper who legally changed his name to Ye recently drew heavy criticism for donning a “white lives matter” T-shirt during Paris fashion week. He also dressed models in the shirt containing the phrase that the Anti-Defamation League considers a “hate slogan”.
The league, which monitors violent extremists, notes on its website that white supremacist groups have promoted the phrase. That came after moderators deleted content from Ye’s Instagram page and restricted the account after the rapper posted a screenshot of a message he had sent Sean “Diddy” Combs, in which he implied that Combs was being controlled by shadowy, powerful Jewish people — a long-standing antisemitic trope.
A Meta spokesperson confirmed to BuzzFeed News on Sunday that they had deleted content from Ye’s account and restricted his use of it because he had broken their rules.
The tweets were among Ye’s first since November 2020, with the performer having stuck mainly to Instagram since then.
When he began tweeting again this weekend, Elon Musk, the potential next owner of Twitter, celebrated Ye’s return to the platform, tweeting, “Welcome back to Twitter, my friend!”..
