Kanye West has been suspended from Twitter once again after posting a swastika, shortly after praising Hitler and Nazis in an interview.
The rapper took to Twitter on Thursday (December 1) to share a photo of a swastika inside the Star of David, a Jewish symbol. Elon Musk — who acquired Twitter for $44 billion earlier this year — considers himself a “free speech absolutist,” but decided that Ye’s tweet violated the company’s policies.
“I tried my best,” Musk tweeted in response to a fan asking him to “fix” Kanye. “Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended.”
Kanye West also posted a photo of a topless Elon Musk being hosed down by Hollywood mogul Ari Emanuel on a yacht, but Musk clarified that had nothing to do with the rapper’s suspension.
“Just clarifying that his account is being suspended for incitement to violence, not an unflattering pic of me being hosed by Ari,” he wrote. “Frankly, I found those pics to be helpful motivation to lose weight!”
Other tweets prior to his suspension saw Kanye West supporting those who have been incarcerated over the January 6 attack on the United States Capitol Building in 2021.
“I love the first amendment! Long live Ye! I pray to Jesus that Elon is for real,” he wrote. “Investigate the civil rights and due process violations of the J6 political prisoners. Why were the only people killed unarmed protestors that day? Free Alex, free Nicholas, free speech, free @ali.”
He also showed support to Balenciaga and its creative director, Demna Gvasalia, amid allegations that it condoned child exploitation, despite the French luxury brand cutting ties with him in October due to his antisemitic comments.
“Never turn our backs,” he said. “Demna and the Balenciaga family for life. Cancel cancel cancel culture Jesus please heal. I stand by Balenciaga and denounce all witch hunts and I cancel cancel culture. Jesus is King. Ending trafficking doesn’t start or end with a fashion campaign for Christ Sake.”
Kanye West also called for a ban on pornography on the internet, claiming it’s a “product of pedophilia” and the reason his marriage to Kim Kardashian came to an end.
“Remove any and all forms of pornography from Twitter and every platform,” he added. “Pornography is the product of pediphilia. When grown men look at porn they are watching someone’s daughter relive trauma for money. The use of Porn destroyed my family but Jesus will heal everything.”
In a bombshell tweet before signing off, the Chicago native accused his ex-wife Kim Kardashian of having an affair with NBA star Chris Paul.
“Let’s break one last window before we get outa here,” he wrote while sharing a photo of CP3. “I caught this guy with Kim[.] Good night.”
Kanye West’s latest Twitter suspension comes after he appeared on an episode of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ Infowars podcast on Thursday, during which he praised Hitler.
“Well, I see good things about Hitler also,” he said. “I love everyone and Jewish people are not gonna tell me, you can love us and you can love what we’re doing to you with the contracts and you can love what we’re pushing with the pornography.
“And this guy who invented highways, who invented the very microphone I use as a musician, you can’t say out loud that this person ever did anything good, and I’m done with that. I’m done with the classification. Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler.”
Kanye also stated: “I love Jewish people, but I also love Nazis,” which left even Jones — a noted peddler of offensive remarks — uncomfortable.
Stick to rechargable vehicles. Anyone who gives this fool a platform continues to shoot themselves in the foot by doing so.
did anyone see the post? he didn’t post a nazi flag or a nazi symbol everyone knows the swastika is an ancient hindu symbol that means purity which the germans hi-jacked for their own purposes. the graphic Ye posted shows that. it funny seeing you white clowns screw yourself into the ground acting like a black man can fuck with your mind and drive you crazy with straight facts. fuck you, get the money right 23 hot metal time. We all die so get the spotify contract right get the apple contract right and shut the fuck up
Haha, keep reaching buddy, the point you are (trying) to make must be out there somewhere. You’re about two weeks late on still trying to be a Kanye Stan. He’s done and he isn’t coming back. He isn’t secretly positioning himself for some genius business move. You are witnessing, in real time, the complete mental breakdown of an individual. If he had people around him who really cared, they would help him. It’s clear all he has are opportunists and vultures advising him. He deserves everything he gets.
Nope, this is all inaccurate.
Except he didn’t post the hindu symbol numbnuts. He posted a star of David with the swastika in the middle. Two completely different things that a 5 second google search would point out to you.
It’s a Hindu symbol when it faces the opposite way, u genius
That is factually wrong, but I get what you mean
Incorrect but it is the opposite
we’re going to fix the contracts and that may mean fixing you for good. this ain’t 1988 what the fuck can you do? can’t stop ye from recording can’t stop ye from selling CDs and anything he puts out now is going to sell 100m copies. so shut the fuck up and keep on choking that chicken thinking you got the right to live off a black man work. shit is ending before your very eyes
Yeah you’re doing your part of spreading racism and hate with your comment. Get a life
nobody black with a job cares what jews think of ye. if the next record hitting it will be on the playlist guaranteed. next ye record will be made for black folks that’s the set up. yeezus phase looks over and done
The next good record he makes will be the first.
