Kanye West recently caused his X account to be deactivated due to his controversial posts on social media. The rapper stirred controversy by sharing offensive comments that were antisemitic, misogynistic, and racist in nature, causing widespread backlash.

Before the deactivation, West expressed gratitude towards Musk for providing him with a platform to express his thoughts, stating that the experience was therapeutic. However, his remarks, which included contentious opinions about Jewish individuals and Adolf Hitler, were heavily criticized by various individuals and organizations, such as David Schwimmer and Piers Morgan.

Moreover, Shopify shut down West’s Yeezy website after he attempted to sell swastika T-shirts following a Super Bowl ad that directed viewers to the site.

This action reflects the ongoing backlash against West’s divisive statements and behavior. His choice to leave X might be temporary, as he can reactivate his account whenever he wants.

Nonetheless, this latest controversy has further damaged his public image amid growing calls for accountability regarding hate speech on social media platforms.
