Twitter has restored Kanye West’s account.
The microblogging platform – which recently rebranded to X – has given the ‘Bound 2’ rapper, 46, his posting privileges after he was removed from the site for inciting anti-semitism and violence towards Jewish people.
At the time of the ban, Elon Musk – who purchased the website for $44-billion – said that the musician had “violated our rule against incitement to violence,” and that his account would be frozen.
This comes after West – who changed his name to Ye in November 2021 – posted a litany of offensive messages like a symbol that merged the Star of David and a swastika.
In the months prior, he also posted further hateful messages about Jewish people that prompted brands like adidas – who he collaborated with to bring his Yeezy clothing line to life – to drop him.
In March 2022, West was banned from Instagram for a 24-hour period after a campaign of harassment against his ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s then-boyfriend Pete Davidson and Trevor Noah, the ex-host of ‘The Daily Show’.
There has since been no comment from X or Elon Musk since the account was restored over the weekend.
Musk also let former US President Donald Trump – who was taken off the site for his incitement of violence during the storming off the Capitol in January 2021 – back on the site after conducting a poll.
However, the ex-Commander-in-Chief has yet to post and has expressed a lack of interest in coming back to Twitter.
