Kanye West returns to X three days after controversial posts — Offensive content removed

Kanye West reportedly returned to X on Thursday after his account was deactivated on Monday following his three-day spree of racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic and sexist tweets.

Agencies
Kanye West, who now goes by Ye, made his return to X (formerly Twitter) just three days after his account was taken down on Monday.

Before his account was taken down, he posted a series of racist, anti-Semitic and misogynistic comments that caused a stir on the platform.

His profile suddenly reappeared on the platform and his name began trending shortly afterwards.


Kanye West’s page now displays a "sensitive content" warning for users who don't have an X account and try to view his profile. It is unclear when this warning was added.

Kanye West’s offensive posts removed from X

West's main feed no longer contains any of the offensive posts from his previous three-day outburst, which resulted in his suspension from the platform. But as of Thursday morning, a post that mentioned "Nazis" was still accessible in the replies area.

As of Thursday morning, West had not shared any new content since his account was reactivated. It is unclear whether he removed the posts himself or if X took them down.

Elon Musk, the owner of X, later told the public that they "won't be seeing" the celebrity's account any longer.

What happened before the deactivation

Before his account was deactivated, the rapper thanked Elon Musk, the owner of X, for "allowing me to vent."

Musk later broke his silence on the matter, saying, "Given what (Kanye) has posted, his account is now classified as NSFW. You shouldn’t be seeing that anymore."
