Kanye West’s X account has been deactivated following a series of anti-Semitic, misogynistic, and racist statements, with Elon Musk confirming that the public will no longer view his account.
Kanye West’s recent X posts have contained references to Nazis, Hitler, and disparaging slurs toward Jewish people, with some specifically targeting Musk.
On Friday alone, he posted over 20 tweets, including statements such as, “I’m never apologizing for my Jewish comments. I can say whatever the f*** I wanna say forever.” He further claimed, “Jewish people don’t run me no more,” and, “Some of my best friends are Jewish and I don’t trust any of them,” followed by a laughing emoji.
The 47-year-old American rapper also mocked Taylor Swift during the Super Bowl on Sunday night, inciting further anti-Semitism.
Regarding Swift, he tweeted, “IF ITS ABOUT THE CULTURE … WHY ARE WE LETTING TAYLOR SWIFT BE SEEN ON TV SINGING A SONG ABOUT TAKING A BLACK MAN DOWN AND ACCUSING OF THINGS THAT CAN TAKE A BLACK MAN DOWN FOR LIFE.”
At this week’s Grammys, West appeared to make a reference to Taylor Swift while dancing to Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss hit Not Like Us.
“Given what he has posted, his account is now classified as NSFW. You should not be seeing that anymore,” Elon Musk confirmed
In Kanye’s final tweet on Sunday night he wrote: “I’m logging out of Twitter. I appreciate Elon for allowing me to vent.”
He continued: “It has been very cathartic to use the world as a sounding board. It was like an Ayahuasca trip.
“Love all of you who gave me the energy and attention. To we connect again. Good afternoon and goodnight.”
