The American rapper’s Twitter account Kanye West was suspended in the morning hours of this Friday for violate the rules against incitement to violenceas reported by the owner of the company, Elon Musk.
The singer, now known as Ye, tweeted a photo promoting his 2024 presidential campaign with a picture of a Star of David enclosing a swastika. The post was removed from Twitter within hours.
He also tweeted an unflattering photo of Elon Muskwhich led the president of the little bird’s social network to clarify that “[la cuenta de West] is suspended for incitement to violence, not for an unflattering photo.”
“I did what I could. Despite this, she again violated our rule against inciting violence. The account will be suspended,” Musk added.
The suspension came just hours after West praised Adolph Hitler in an interview published this Thursday on the far-right blog Infowarswhere in addition He denied the existence of the Holocaust and made anti-Semitic comments.
West appeared with his face completely covered by a ski mask and his hands covered with gloves in that interview broadcast on streaming in Infowarsby broadcaster and propagator of conspiracy theories Alex Jones.
“You’re not Hitler, you’re not a Nazi,” Jones began, to which the rapper replied that he sees “good things” about the dictator. “From this guy (Hitler) who invented the highways and invented the same microphone that I use as a musician, you can’t say out loud that he ever did anything good and I’m sick of it. I have tired of the classifications ”.
“All human beings have value to bring to the table, especially Hitler,” West said at another point in the interview.
Later, the singer clarified that he is not really interested in Hitler that much, but that he considers him “a cool guy”, with a “great outfit” and that he was a “great architect”.
Before a commercial break, Jones told him that he had a fetish for Hitler, to which the artist replied: “I like Hitler.”
He assured that “what happened was not a HolocaustLet’s look at the facts on that. Hitler has many positive qualities.” Also, denied that the dictator killed six million Jews“that is factually incorrect”.
The rapper indicated that he does not like to put the word “evil” next to Nazi: “I like Jewish people, but I love Nazis too. He also maintained that he agrees that there is a “Jewish mafia.”
The protagonist for years of headlines both for his music, his fashion brand or his personal life as well as for his recurring outbursts, a more unleashed Kanye West who has never set off all the alarms in recent weeks by a string of racist and anti-Semitic comments.
Those comments have caused the artist to lose millions of dollars in contracts with brands, which have canceled the agreements they had with the rapper.
Ye was last week at the residence of the former president of the United States donald trump (2017-2021) in Mar-a-Lago (Florida) together with the nationalist Nick Fuentesknown for his anti-Semitic views, at a dinner that has been criticized by sectors of the Republican Party.
In fact, Fuentes appeared with West in the interview on Infowars of this Thursday.
Since its website was founded Infowars in 1999, Jones, who is a radio presenter, has had a large audience. Among the conspiracy theories he has promoted is that the 2001 attacks in New York and Washington were organized by the government.
