Elon Musk, owner of Twitter, has announced the suspension of an account American rapper Kanye West on the social network, Friday, for “inciting violence” after posting an image of a swastika intertwined with the star of David.
“Just to clarify, his account has been suspended for inciting violence,” Musk said.
Musk comments on a photo posted by the rapper, who is facing increasing isolation after anti-Semitic statements and expressing his clear admiration for Hitler.
The rapper raises other controversies
Two weeks ago, the American rapper sparked other controversies, starting with his differences with ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her family, even with his colleagues in the artistic field, until the crisis turned into social media companies who banned the singer from accessing his Twitter and Instagram accounts, after posting messages The company said it was hostile and hateful.
It started with the suspension of Kanye West’s ‘Instagram’ account after he attacked rapper Diddy.
“All lives matter, but Black Lives Matter doesn’t play with it. Don’t wear the shirt. Don’t buy the shirt. Don’t play with the shirt. It’s no joke.”
The incident comes after West was criticized for wearing a ‘White Lives Matter’ T-shirt during Paris Fashion Week.
Conversely, the Anti-Defamation League deemed the phrase “hate speech” and attributed it to white supremacists who began using it in 2015 in response to the Black Lives Matter movement. Among them was Diddy, who posted a video on Instagram saying he wasn’t “influenced” by the logo.
He also added, “All Lives Matter — but Black Lives Matter, don’t play shirt. It’s no joke.”
In turn, the rapper responded and said: “I didn’t like our conversation .. I sell these shirts. No one can interfere between me and my money.”
Mask intervened earlier and returned it to the platform
When Didi again asked him to stop, West replied: “I will use you as an example to show the Jews who told you to contact me that no one can threaten me or influence me.”
His Instagram account was suspended due to his hate messages, which violated the famous application’s policy.
West then took to Twitter, posting a photo of himself with Meta co-founder Mark Zuckerberg. “Look here, Mark. How did you kick me off Instagram?” he said.
This required the intervention of the American billionaire Elon Musk, who was trying to buy Twitter at the time, to reopen the account again, and wrote: “Welcome to Twitter, my friend.”
He also said he spoke to Kanye West, expressing concern about the rapper’s posts, and the Tesla and SpaceX CEO said Kanye West took it “very seriously.”
Trump is in crisis because of West
Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell criticized a dinner hosted by the former president Donald Trump By a white nationalist, meaning rapper, he said anyone who associates with anti-Semites or white supremacists “is unlikely to ever be elected president of the United States.”
“There is no place in the Republican Party for anti-Semitism or white supremacy,” McConnell said during his weekly press conference on Capitol Hill.
