Kanye West has planted his name squarely in the headlines once again as the fashion designer, Instagram influencer, and former rapper had his access to both Twitter and Instagram restricted due to uncouth comments he made about Jewish people.
In an Instagram post of his apparent text messages with Diddy, West said that he was going to use the rapper as “an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me.”
As a result of this comment, West’s Instagram access was restricted, so he hopped over to Twitter and tweeted the following:
“I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE. 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,” West tweeted after his Instagram was locked following additional comments about the Jewish community.
Elon Musk claims he reached out to Kanye West to “express concern” about his recent anti-semitic rhetoric on both Instagram and Twitter
Replying to his tweet welcoming West back to Twitter, Elon Musk — noted sociopolitical religious leader — said that he reached out to Kanye to discuss the tweet and believes that the 45-year-old took Musk’s words “to heart.”
Talked to ye today & expressed my concerns about his recent tweet, which I think he took to heart

Musk sticking his nose into Kanye’s latest self-engineered fiasco comes just about a week after he agreed to purchase Twitter for $44 billion.
In addition to the recent controversial comments made on social media, West has also been in headlines in recent weeks for wearing a shirt that says “White Lives Matter” to a YZY show at Paris Fashion Week and also released a mini-documentary titled Last Week which featured the increasingly unhinged father-of-four showing an adult film to shocked adidas executives.
Given Kanye’s recent history of erratic behavior, it’s likely that this isn’t the end of this latest controversy as West will surely do something else to amplify the scrutiny in the coming days.
