Elon Musk Confirms: Kanye West’s Twitter Deactivated After Anti-Semitic Comments

BBG News

As a devoted admirer, I find myself compelled to share that my longstanding admiration for Kanye West has taken a significant hit due to recent events. It appears that, following a series of inflammatory comments perceived as anti-Semitic, misogynistic, and racist, his Twitter account has been deactivated. This decision has been confirmed by Elon Musk, who stated that the public will no longer be privy to Kanye’s presence on the platform.

On the Super Bowl Sunday evening, as a devoted admirer, I found myself expressing some critical remarks towards my old musical rival, Taylor Swift, amidst a mix of statements that unfortunately included offensive language against the Jewish community.

After the musician thanked Elon for letting him express himself freely, it seems like Elon subsequently deactivated or restricted access to his account, since he stated, “Due to the content he’s posted, his account has been categorized as Not Safe For Work (NSFW). You should no longer be able to view that content.

On Sunday evening, Kanye West stated in his last tweet that he was signing off from Twitter. He expressed gratitude towards Elon for giving him the opportunity to express himself freely.

He went on to say: “Expressing my thoughts out loud, much like using the world as a mirror, has provided great relief. It felt somewhat similar to a spiritual journey I once experienced during an Ayahuasca ritual.

I appreciate each one of you for providing me with the motivation and focus. Let’s reconnect soon. Have a great afternoon and good night.

On Sunday, Kanye shared he was feeling mentally sound and at ease, stating that expressing his controversial remarks (which were widely criticized as racist, sexist, insensitive, misogynistic, and ignorant by social media users and numerous celebrities) has brought him a sense of tranquility after letting off steam.

As a die-hard admirer, I can’t help but voice my thoughts about Swift’s tweet: “If it’s about the culture, then why are we okay with Taylor Swift performing a song on TV that seems to portray a Black man negatively and accuse him of things that could potentially land a Black man in jail for life?

Last week at the Grammys, it appeared that West might have been referring to Taylor Swift through his dance to Kendrick Lamar’s song “Not Like Us,” which contains a diss towards Drake.

In a comment about Kendrick Lamar’s performance at the Super Bowl Halftime show, West stated that “Kendrick is being exploited by these white people and Jews, and so am I.” However, it might be more appropriately expressed as “Kendrick Lamar wasn’t left unaffected in his performance at the Super Bowl Halftime show, with West saying he felt Kendrick was being manipulated by white people and Jews, much like himself.

In another location, Kanye West unveiled an odd advertisement for his clothing brand Yeezy during the Super Bowl, which drew many questioning gazes following a prolonged period of tweets containing anti-Semitic statements that led him to disable his account.

The mysterious short video, broadcast following remarks criticized as racially insensitive, sexist, out-of-touch, misogynistic, and ignorant by social media users and numerous celebrities, seemed to be filmed on West’s iPhone in what appeared to be a dentist’s office.

West stated that due to spending all his Super Bowl ad budget on getting new dentures, he was forced to shoot the commercial using his smartphone.

West explained that he used his iPhone to film the ad since he had already spent all the budget on the new dentures, while flashing a smile under sunglasses for the camera.

West paused briefly, then repeated himself, before finally urging viewers to visit his brand’s official website: “Check out Yeezy.com.

Kanye West seemed to hint at his increasing friction with Elon Musk, when he reacted to a user’s comment likening Musk to a Nazi.

This occurs mere weeks following an incident where the billionaire found himself embroiled in controversy, seemingly performing a gesture resembling a Nazi salute during President Donald Trump’s inauguration. However, it is important to note that Musk has since refuted these claims. (For clarity, Musk denies these allegations.)

West responded to a user sharing an article where Musk stopped following West on Twitter, by commenting, ‘Impostors when the genuine one arrives.’

West responded, ‘Given that I’m being removed from Twitter soon, everyone is acting like a Nazi until an actual Nazi shows up.’

West further proposed an idea that Musk, being the proprietor of X/Twitter, might be covertly undermining his social media influence through a practice known as “shadow banning,” and possibly limiting the engagement he receives due to his provocative content stream.

He mentioned that his Twitter influence is restricted, so he can’t create a trend during the Super Bowl. As a solution, he plans to establish a Discord channel on his website instead. Inviting everyone to join, he expressed, “Welcome to America.

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Milo Yiannopoulos, who runs Tarantula – a talent management agency representing both West and his partner Bianca Censori – has announced that West will be temporarily stepping away from social media.

According to Yiannopoulos, he temporarily disabled his X account on X/Twitter last night.

On Sunday, a representative from the West camp clarified via email to Dailymail.com that Milo Yiannopoulos had chosen to disable his account rather than being banned.

Before deactivating his account, West stated that he came across a video of Kodak Black appearing distressed, and noticed the latter was wearing a Donda chain from his Yeezy clothing brand. West then implied in a subsequent post that this incident served as a sign for him to travel to Florida to assist his fellow musician.

On Sunday, West also mentioned other artists like Travis Scott, R. Kelly, and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in his series of tweets.

After approximately 15 years of hostility, West recently brought up Swift again. The roots of their conflict can be traced back to the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards held on September 13, 2009 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, where the foundation for their long-standing feud was laid.

During a well-known interruption, West unexpectedly spoke over Swift as she was accepting the award for Best Female Video for her song “You Belong With Me,” a nomination that also included Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies.”

This way, it is clear and easy to understand while maintaining the original meaning.

In a turn of events, West stepped into the spotlight and snatched the microphone from Swift, exclaiming, ‘Hey Taylor, I’m thrilled for your success, but I need to interrupt. Beyoncé’s video is among the greatest ever made! Truly one of the best!’

After the musical collaborators seemed more amicable in the subsequent years, their relationship deteriorated significantly following the unveiling of West’s 2016 track titled “Famous.

Back then, West asserted that Swift had granted me permission to call her a “so-and-so” in the song’s lyrics, alluding to the VMAs episode we both shared.

In July of 2016, a public dispute erupted between Swift and West, following her denial that they ever reached an agreement about the lyrics in his song ‘Famous’. This was after Kim Kardashian West released a conversation recording between them regarding the song’s content.

In 2021, Kardashian parted ways with West and finalized their divorce the next year. During the release of that call, she subtly hinted at Swift being like a snake.

She expressed on Twitter, “I can’t believe there’s a National Snake Day too! It seems like they celebrate everyone and everything as a holiday these days.

On Sunday, West posted several messages during the game, one of them being a video where he seemed tranquil and composed following several chaotic days filled with controversy.

As a die-hard fan, I’ve been breathlessly following every word from my beloved Grammy-winning artist. In the midst of the storm of controversial statements that have upset so many in recent days, he felt compelled to declare his mental clarity – a move that only adds to my admiration for his courage and honesty.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, allow me to share some insight with you all – I sense that many of you are picking up on the fact that I may be navigating through a challenging time at present. You might have noticed the telltale signs, such as the extra bags under my eyes and general dishevelment, if you will.

He stated, ‘I don’t desire anyone to carry out an intervention on me – which is why I chose to post this video as I understand everyone may be thinking, “John appears to be struggling at the moment. Someone should check on him or maybe even take away his Twitter and related platforms.”‘

West unequivocally stated that he had no intention of retracting any of his tweets. He expressed this by saying, ‘I expressed my thoughts; that’s all that transpired, and that was incredibly liberating for me – and it was worth every consequence, it was worth every consequence to do so.’

Allow me to clarify gently: I’m genuinely feeling great – I’d say I’m in an exceptionally positive state, it’s quite liberating.

West additionally spoke about the disclaimer that was recently posted on his Twitter account on Sunday, which came in response to several days of tweets criticizing various celebrities, ethnicities, religious groups, physical appearances, domestic violence survivors, and other delicate subjects.

Attention: The content on this profile might contain material that some users find sensitive. This message appears due to the use of possibly inappropriate images or words. Would you like to proceed and view the profile anyway?

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase that statement as follows: ‘West subtly hinted at the disclaimer, asking Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, to kindly allow me to continue using my account. He did this by expressing himself in a coded manner and showing his admiration for Elon.’
