Kanye West, a rapper from the United States, has been suspended from Twitter after being accused of “inciting violence” with harsh tweets, just two months after his previous ban.
West, also known as Ye on Elon Musk’s microblogging site, sent a series of erratic tweets, one of which appeared to show a swastika and a Jewish star symbol.
CNN reports that Twitter’s chief executive officer (CEO), Musk was asked by one user to “fix Kanye.”
West had “violated our rule against incitement to violence”, Musk tweeted.
“Account will be suspended,” Musk wrote in a Twitter post.
West, during an interview with US conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, on Thursday, covering his face with a mask, extolled Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and ranted about sin, pornography and the devil.
In recent months West has caused controversy with a series of anti-Semitic and racist remarks – leading to clothing giant Adidas cutting ties with the rapper.
The rapper was initially locked out of his Twitter and Instagram accounts after posting antisemitic messages in October.
Both platforms removed West’s posts – which accused rapper Diddy of being controlled by Jewish people – saying the artiste had violated policies on hate speech.
