The owner of the social network Twitter, Elon Musk, canceled the account of the American rapper Kanye West, who currently goes by the name of Ye, for inciting violence.
According to EFE, it was Musk himself who announced the news, after the rapper posted an image on his profile of what looked like a swastika fused with a Star of David.
“I did my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against inciting violence. The account will be suspended,” said the owner of the social network, in which the rapper’s profile already appears as cancelled.
This is not the first time that the artist has been suspended from that social network, which was recently acquired by magnate Elon Musk.
More fuel on the fire
The suspension comes after West praise Adolf Hitler in an interview published this Thursday, December 1, on the far-right blog Infowars, in which he denied the existence of the Holocaust and made anti-Semitic comments.
West appeared with his face fully covered by a ski mask and his hands covered with gloves in that interview streamed on Infowars, by broadcaster and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
Protagonist for years of headlines both for his music, his fashion brand or his personal life as well as for his recurring outbursts, a more unleashed Kanye West who has never set off all the alarms in recent weeks due to a string of racist comments and antisemites.
Those comments have caused the artist to lose millions of dollars in contracts with shoe and clothing brands, which have canceled the agreements they had with the rapper.
