Kanye West has suffered a second social media exile. Twitter confirmed today that the rapper’s Twitter account was locked on Sunday for a violation of the social media platform’s policies, according to the company.
This time, there were specifics. West was locked out in response to a tweet he posted on Saturday that said he was going “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE.”
“I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” said West, also known as Ye. “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.”
The ban follows a similar exile from Instagram. West’s Twitter account now has an automatic message explaining that it violated Twitter’s policy.
EARLIER Instagram has restricted the account of rapper Kanye West, saying he violated the service’s rules and policies.
A Meta spokesperson confirmed Instagram deleted content from West’s Instagram page and placed a restriction on the account. However, specifics on what content was removed or the rules that were violated were not revealed.

The violations follow a volatile post West made on Friday, wherein he shared a screenshot of a text exchange with Sean “Diddy” Combs. In the conversation, West accused Combs of being controlled by Jewish people, saying 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.”
The American Jewish Committee advocacy group posted a video on Instagram on Friday, calling West out for making “incoherent rants laden with racist and antisemitic undertones.”
The post-exchange with Combs came after West appeared in a Fox News interview with Tucker Carlson. During their conversation, West skirted the line about people who order others around and accused former White House advisor Jared Kushner, who is Jewish, of brokering Israeli treaties for monetary gain.
West largely abandoned Twitter recently, but returned to that service after his Instagram expulsion and posted an old photo of him with Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg. The caption: “how you gone kick me off Instagram.”
