Kanye West has been bombarded with criticism over his recent social media posts. On Saturday, the rapper-turned-fashion mogul tweeted something widely condemned as antisemitic.

“I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” he wrote. “The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to blackball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”

Shortly after an hour, the social media platform took the post down. West just got back on Twitter after being restricted from his Instagram account. Meta confirmed this to The Hollywood Reporter.

Ye was reportedly locked out of his IG account following exchange allegedly with rapper Diddy. In the exchange with Diddy over West’s controversial “White Lives Matter” tees, West wrote: “I didn’t like our convo. I’m selling these tees. Nobody can get in between me and my money”.

After Diddy asks him to stop selling the tees, 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 social media post has since been deleted.

When Ye returned to Twitter on Friday, West called out Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, tweeting, “How you gone kick me off Instagram.” 

He was quickly welcomed back to Twitter by Elon Musk, who confirmed his plans to buy Twitter. “Welcome back to Twitter, my friend,” Musk replied to West’s tweet about Zuckerberg.

Elon Musk also updated his approach with Kanye, “talked to ye today & expressed my concerns about his recent tweet, which I think he took to heart.”
