The social media accounts of American rapper, Kanye West have been placed on restriction for sharing posts targeting the Jewish community.
A Meta spokesperson revealed that Instagram deleted content, posts from the rapper’s Instagram page. And placed a restriction on the account for violating its rules and guidelines.
This is following his controversial appearance at the Yeezy fashion show in Paris with popular conservative media personality, Candace Owens.
On the runway, the duo donned on a shirt with the words, “WHITE LIVES MATTER” inscribed on it.
This made them receive heat from many including hip-hop artiste, Sean Combs, popularly known as Puff Daddy.
In conversation shared by West via his Instagram page on Friday, Puff was advising the rapper against hurting the Black community with his public statements.
In response, West said that he would use Combs as “an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me. I told you this is war. Now gone get you some business.”
The rapper, who is now legally known as Ye, switched to his Twitter account where he slammed Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Instagram’s parent company Meta, for kicking him off the platform.
He tweeted,
“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 black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”
The post has since been deleted for violating Twitter’s policy. A Twitter spokesperson stated on Sunday that Ye’s account has also been locked due to the said violation.
