Twitter shuts down rapper Kanye West Twitter account over an anti-Semitic tweet posted on Saturday.
In the now-withdrawn tweet, the artist makes offensive comments against the Jewish community.
In addition to some ironic remarks towards an unspecific group.
Twitter did not say how long the account would be frozen or when the user would be able to tweet again.
The rapper has been causing problems on social media since wearing a T-shirt proclaiming "White Lives Matter".
Everything during Paris Fashion Week.
It is an appropriation of the famous "Black Lives Matter" slogan, emblematic of the 2020 summer anti-racist protests in the United States, and a dig at the movement.
In addition, a spokesman for Meta, in charge of Instagram, told that West's account was "dangerous" without giving much of a reason.
West took to Twitter, where he hadn't written in two years, to post a photo of himself with Mark Zuckerberg and the caption, "How could you take me off Instagram?"
The American Jewish Committee (AJC) accuses him of promoting "hatred of Jews".
The rapper always ends up in controversies for his peculiar personality.
West is famous for being a strange person with erratic behavior.
Conservative to the core, Kanye is becoming a fanatical Donald Trump supporter and,
during recent interviews, spoke about his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and his ties to the Clinton family.
Kanye's comments about the privilege and influence of the Jewish community were extremely inadequate.
Especially in a political moment as intense as the current one.
This morning the rapper posted an enigmatic video on youtube with the details of his crazy week.
