A tweet from Kanye West promising to go “death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE” was removed overnight by Twitter, which said the post violated the social media platform’s rules.
The rapper, who has legally changed his name to “Ye,” made the tweet as part of a series of posts Saturday night, which included tweets about protests in Iran and cancel culture, following a crackdown on his Instagram account.
INSTAGRAM RESTRICTS YE OVER SEEMINGLY ANTISEMITIC POST
“I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going 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,” West said in the now removed tweet.
West returned to Twitter for the first time since 2020 on Saturday after his Instagram account was restricted over a seemingly antisemitic post. In his first tweet back, he posted a black hat that said “2024” captioned with the same number, appearing to reference a potential run for the presidency in that year.
West also posted a tweet going after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, saying, “You used to be my n****.” Meta is the parent company of Instagram.
The rapper has more than 31 million followers on Twitter.
