Ye’s X Account Deactivated (Again) After He Made Antisemitic Tweets (Again)

Welp, Ye, aka Kanye West, has, once again, gotten himself banned from the platform formerly known as Twitter because the self-described “Nazi” couldn’t keep his seething bigotry to himself.
In case you missed it — because his account is now deactivated — last Friday, starting at about 4 a.m., Ye launched an all-caps tirade on X that spanned more than one hundred separate posts, in which he declared his hatred for Jewish people, women who don’t live under a man’s “dominion,” and “fat b-tches” on runways. He also defended Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently drowning in sexual assault lawsuits.
“AMY JEWISH PERSON THAT DOES BUSINESS WITH ME NEEDS TO KNOW I DONT LIKE OR TRUST ANY JEWISH PERSON AMD THIS IS COMPLETELY SOBER WITH NO HENNESY,” Ye wrote in just one all-caps tweet among dozens of others. “IM NEVER APOLOGIZING FOR MY JEWISH COMMENTS.” (Last year, Ye blamed his Hennessy consumption for his past remarks and behavior.)
According to TMZ, at the end of his unhinged tweet storm, Ye announced he was “logging off” and thanked Elon Musk for letting him vent, describing his rant as being “very cathartic” and saying he had been using the world as a “sounding board.” But Musk — who reinstated Ye’s X account after he acquired the platform, changed its name, and turned it into a pretty safe space for bigoted nonsense anyway — responded to an X user who complained about Ye’s post by noting they will no longer have to see what the “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” artists has to say.
(It’s worth mentioning that the X user Musk responded to was mad, not because of the deluge of unabashed bigotry, but because Ye was also posting porn. Priorities, I tell ya’.)
From TMZ:
Elon’s Sunday response came after a concerned X user advocated for Kanye to be banned from the platform — not because of Ye’s comments, but for repeatedly posting porn, which was showing up on X whether people wanted to see it or not.
Musk replied … “Given what he has posted, his account is now classified as NSFW. You should not be seeing that anymore.” Shortly afterward, Kanye appeared to deactivate his X account himself.
Just a couple of years ago, Ye turned his own world upside down by tweeting vehemently antisemitic hate speech for the world to see, causing himself to lose major brand deals and destroying every bit of his image that he hadn’t already destroyed wearing MAGA hats and “White Lives Matter” shirts.
Unfortunately, you can’t save someone who doesn’t want to be saved, and maybe it’s long past time to stop wishing for the return of “Old Kanye” and realize this new Kanye may have been who he was the whole time.
