New York, Europe Brief News – Twitter has suspended the official account of US Rapper Kanye West, also known as Ye, just two months after it was reinstated.
The platform administration said the rapper violated the platform’s rules prohibiting incitement to violence.
Ye’s account showed a notice that it was suspended, after one of his posts had earlier appeared to show a swastika symbol inside a Star of David.
“I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended,” the billionaire owner of Twitter Elon Musk tweeted in reply to a Twitter user who said “Elon Fix Kanye Please”.
Ye, who had more than 30 million followers on Twitter before his suspension, did not respond to requests for comment.
Musk has in the past few months expressed his desire to have fewer limits on content that can be posted on Twitter. He said last week the platform would provide a “general amnesty” to some suspended accounts.
Last month, Twitter reinstated some previously suspended accounts, including that of former U.S. President Donald Trump.
It was not immediately clear if Ye would be allowed back on Twitter and the company did not respond to requests for comment.
Ye posted a screenshot on Trump’s Truth Social platform, showing his Twitter account would be suspended for 12 hours.
