Twitter said that Kanye West has violated its policies which prompted them to suspend his account.

Twitter has spoiled the epic comeback of American rapper Ye after it issued a violation because of this discriminatory post. According to a story by Engadget, the songwriter said that his post was not antisemitic because he considered black people as Jews.

Ye wrote the post on Saturday, Oct. 8, but it took Twitter sometime before deleting it on the platform. On Sunday, Oct. 9, the tweet is nowhere to be found, but you can see some screenshots from people who have viewed it at the time of posting.

The Twitter spokesperson said that Kanye's account has been locked because he bypassed the company's policies regarding the issue.

"I'm a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I'm going full 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," Ye's tweet reads.

Instagram Blocks Kanye West

Before Twitter, Meta's Instagram suspended West for using racist language, another form of anti-Semitic approach. As Fox29 spotted in various reports, the rapper has been exchanging conversations with co-rapper Diddy about the "White Lives" matter shirt.

Kanye was seen wearing the apparel during Paris Fashion week. To date, the question can no longer be seen on Instagram, but viewers said that the American Jewish Committee condemned the action of the rapper.

According to the organization, what Ye posted was "deeply troubling, dangerous, and antisemitic." Additionally, it said that it should not be an excuse for the promotion of this "white supremacist" slogans and antisemitism against Jewish people.

This is not the first time that Instagram blocked Kanye West's account on the site. According to Tech Times, the platform suspended the 45-year-old artist for 24 hours back in March.

At the time, the tech site reported that Ye has been throwing racial slurs at Trevor Noah, the talk show host behind "Today Show."

The tv host talked about Ye's harassment of his former wife Kim Kardashian. Moreover, Noah was also discussing the divorce that would take place between Kanye and Kim. He urged the fans to refrain from making jokes about the issue.

Noah also said that it was only a publicity stunt pulled by Ye and Kardashian. He claimed that it's only one way to draw the attention of the public to them.
