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.
Initially, there were speculations surrounding whether Elon Musk or the social media platform took action to remove the account. However, it emerged that West himself opted to deactivate his own account.
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.
