the rapper KanyeWest was banned by the businessman Elon Musk from Twitter after publishing a post with an image showing the Nazi swastika on the Star of David, a symbol of Judaism. The current owner of the social network explained that the account was blocked for “incitement to violence”. The artist, also known as Ye, published other controversial tweets last Thursday 1st, which resonated and drew criticism for their antiSemitic content. Before that, the exhusband of the celebrity Kim Kardashian praised Adolf Hitler during his participation in the Infowars program, commanded by Alex Jones. West had more than 32 million followers on Twitter and is expected to be banned for at least two months. This isn’t the first time the rapper has made antiSemitic remarks, nor is it the first time his social media accounts have been suspended. Since he started making controversial statements, several companies have terminated their contract with the singer, including Adidas and Balenciaga. As reported by Variety, West claimed he’s already lost $2 billion as a result of his comments. He also assured that he will run for President of the United States in 2024.
