Twitter blocked Kanye West's account after the rapper and record producer posted a violent message with anti-Semitic content

.

West had announced that as soon as he woke up he would

"raise the attack on Jews to level 3

", using military jargon, but writing the word "death" in place of "def", which sounds almost similar.

The rapper explained that he couldn't do it on the spot because he was

"a little bit asleep"

. 

West then attacked Jews for

"using it" and "trying to kill anyone who opposes your agenda

. "

The social network removed the tweet immediately after its publication, putting the warning "This tweet violated the rules of Twitter".

Although still active, a spokesperson for the platform told BuzzFeed News that "the account in question has been blocked, due to a violation of Twitter's regulations".

The decision came after Meta also placed restrictions on West's Instagram account, which two days ago posted another anti-Semitic message, claiming rapper Diddy was controlled by Jews.

The controversial music producer, who officially changed his name to Ye, had attracted criticism for wearing

a t-shirt with the words "

white lives matter

" at the Paris fashion week.

contrast with the

"black lives matter",

used by the movement for the rights of African Americans.

These all appear to be moves created to attract attention, as the rapper is bent on running for the 2024 presidential elections after failing in 2020. 

In a post published in recent days on Twitter for his 31 million followers, West had put a photo of a black hat with the inscription 2024. In another message, probably addressed to Jews, he wrote: "Who do you think created the culture of cancellation?

", to indicate the 'cancel culture', a modern form of ostracism in which someone becomes the target of general indignation and excluded from cultural or professional circles. 

After having published, sarcastically, a photo that took him back with the founder of Meta, Mark Zuckenberg, disputing the fact that the platform had limited his account on Instagram, West had received the support of the billionaire, and future owner of the social network, on Twitter. , Elon Musk, who had commented: "Welcome back to Twitter, my friend"

.

But the return lasted the space of one


night.
