Back in October 2022, Kanye West took to his Instagram account to share antisemitic remarks. That was when the meta company restricted Ye's IG account. But that did not stop the pop star from commenting on sensitive matters. The same night, Kanye went up on Twitter, now X, to post similar thoughts. The star wrote, “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 blackball anyone whoever opposes your agenda [sic],” the star continued. Such comments were not taken in good light with any of the brands that Kanye was collaborating with. Alongside Adidas, Balenciaga, Gap, and Apple also pulled away from working with the rapper.
While his Twitter seems to be restored with a final warning, fans continue to await Kanye West's presence on Instagram. The rapper left the social media platform by choice back in April 2023. It will be interesting to see if he decides to come back to the platform or not!
