ANKARA (AA) - American rapper Kanye West was temporarily banned from Twitter and Instagram after posting anti-Semitic messages.
Instagram suspended the account of West, who is legally known as Ye, on Saturday after posting a screenshot of a text conversation with another rapper, Sean "Diddy" Combs, suggesting he was controlled by Jewish people.
After being locked out of Instagram on Saturday, Ye posted a photo of himself singing alongside parent company Meta's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, on Twitter, suggesting the two were on amicable terms in the past.
His Twitter account was also suspended after a later tweet in which he said he would go "death con 3" on Jewish people, in an apparent reference to the US defense readiness condition scale known as DEFCON.
This was removed by Twitter for violating its rules and guidelines, with Ye's account suspended over anti-Semitic slurs.
