Why Kanye West’s Twitter and Instagram Accounts Are locked?

Following the publication of anti-Semitic remarks, Kanye West’s Twitter and Instagram accounts have been locked.

The celebrity’s Instagram account was suspended over the weekend after he claimed that rapper Diddy was under the control of Jews.

The message fed into a long-standing conspiracy belief that is anti-Semitic.

West received a second disbarment after rejoining Twitter after being suspended and threatening to “go death con 3 on Jewish people.”

Both websites took down West’s messages and said he had broken their hate speech rules.

Kanye West’s Fashion show controversy

After receiving backlash for donning a “white lives matter” T-shirt at Paris Fashion Week, the incident occurred.

The catchphrase also appeared during his YZY fashion show, which Selah Marley, the granddaughter of Bob Marley and daughter of Lauryn Hill, modeled for.

The statement has been labeled “hate speech” by the Anti-Defamation League and is credited to white nationalists who started using it in 2015 in response to the Black Lives Matter movement.

West’s stunt received immediate feedback from his peers.

Diddy was one of them and said in an Instagram video that he “did not rock” with the phrase.

“All lives matter – but that Black Lives Matter, don’t play with it. Don’t wear the shirt. Don’t buy the shirt. Don’t play with the shirt. It’s not a joke,” he said.

West then posted what appeared to be a text exchange with Diddy to his Instagram, in which he told the rapper: “I didn’t like our convo. I’m selling these tees. Nobody can get in between me and my money”.

When Diddy asked him again to stop, West replied: “Ima use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me.”

The post appeared to reference the anti-Semitic theory that a secret cabal of Jewish people is conspiring to control the world’s media, government and banks.

After Instagram deactivated his account, West posted a picture of himself and Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg on Twitter.

“Mark, look at this. He wrote, “How are you going to ban me from Instagram.

I’m a little sleepy tonight, but when I wake up, I’m going to death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” he said in a message. The irony is that black people are actually Jews, so I can’t really be anti-Semitic.

He continued, “You people have used me and tried to black ball everybody who opposes your agenda.

West’s account has been locked and the tweet has subsequently been deleted.

T-shirt was ‘funny’

 

Last week, West spoke at long with Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson about a variety of topics, including his political aspirations, anti-abortion beliefs, and his relationship with the late fashion designer Virgil Abloh.

When Carlson questioned him about the “white lives matter” t-shirt, he said it was “funny” and “obvious” to wear it.

The reason I wrote “White Lives Matter” on a shirt, he explained, is that they actually do.

He also recalled discussing the statement at the time with his father.

I reacted by saying, “I thought the shirt was a humorous shirt, and I thought the concept of me wearing it was funny. “Dad, why did you think that was funny?” I questioned. Just a Black man speaking the obvious, he said.

West said that he was not acting in a way that the media supported when Carlson asked why the t-shirt had sparked such a criticism.

Because those who stripped us of our identity and assigned us a color have also defined what it is to be Black, according to West.
