Ye shared antisemitic statements in his latest posts, and Hollywood and the social media platforms are proving actions have consequences. The rapper, also known as Kanye West, was locked out of his Twitter and Instagram accounts; Spokespeople for Twitter and Instagram said Sunday that Ye posted messages that violated their policies.
In a tweet sent late Saturday, Ye said he would soon go “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE,” an apparent reference to the U.S. military readiness condition scale known as DEFCON. In the same tweet, which has since been removed by Twitter, he said: “You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”
Ye sparked criticism the week prior for wearing a “White Lives Matter” T-shirt to the showing of his collection at Paris Fashion Week, also dressing model Selah Marley in a similar shirt. He also wore it Friday while attending 9-year-old daughter North West’s basketball game, photos obtained by TMZ show.
