Twitter removes antisemitic Kanye West tweet for violating Twitter rules

Twitter has removed a tweet by Ye—formerly known as Kanye West—due to it violating the Twitter rules. The tweet, which stated "I'm starting to think anti Semitic means n*gger," was quickly scrubbed off the site.

Ye, who has been embroiled in accusations of anti-Semitism after several controversial interviews and comments, returned to Twitter after having his account restricted last month after saying he was going to go "death con three" on Jewish people.



Ye returned to the platform by posting a photo of NBA player Kyrie Irving, who is now being criticized after posting a link to "Hebrews To Negroes: Wake Up Black America," a film that has been criticized for having anti-Jewish connotations. 

Other controversies surrounding Ye involve him wearing a "White Lives Matter" shirt to Paris Fashion Week, calling Black Lives Matter a "scam," and other comments surrounding the death of George Floyd, which were also deemed inappropriate. 

The grammy-award winning artist has been more active on his Instagram account, though he was also restricted for 30 days on there, as well.

"Got kicked off instagram for 30 days," Ye wrote on Tuesday.

Ye has since started posting photos of several Jewish business people and figures, including real estate giant David Simon, Jamie Salter of Authentic Brands Group, and entertainment executive Scooter Braun.
