Just two months after his previous ban, Kanye West has been barred from
Twitter and accused of "inciting violence" over obscene posts.
The American rapper, now known as Ye,
sent out a string of erratically timed tweets, one of which looked to combine a
Jewish star with a swastika.
One user begged Elon Musk, the new CEO of Twitter,
to "fix Kanye." Musk tweeted that West had "violated our rule
against inciting violence."
Musk stated on Twitter that "Account will be
suspended."
Also on Thursday, while wearing a mask and speaking
with American conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, West praised the Nazi leader
Adolf Hitler and ranted about sin, pornography, and the devil.
"Repulsive and
terrible," was how the head of the Holocaust Educational Trust in the UK
described West's remarks.
According to CEO Karen Pollock,
"These remarks combined with his high prominence and enormous following
have serious repercussions."
Adidas severed its relationship with
musician Kanye West after he made a slew of antisemitic and racist comments in
recent months.
