Elon Musk Confirms Kanye West’s Twitter Account Disabled After Anti-Semitic, Sexist, and Racist Comments

Elon Musk has confirmed that the public “will no longer see” Kanye West’s Twitter account after a series of inflammatory comments, including anti-Semitic, sexist, and racist remarks. The 47-year-old rapper’s account was deactivated following a wave of backlash against his posts. Musk confirmed that West’s account was flagged as “NSFW” and would no longer be visible to the public.

Kanye West’s Twitter Account Deactivated Following Controversial Remarks

In his final tweet, posted late Sunday, West thanked Musk for allowing him to “vent” on the platform. He wrote: “I’ll be logging off Twitter. Thank you, Elon, for letting me vent.” He continued with, “It’s such a relief to use the world as a place to listen. It’s like an Ayahuasca trip.”

West also expressed gratitude for the attention he received, saying, “Love to all who gave me energy and attention. Let’s reconnect. Good afternoon and good night.”

Despite the controversy, West insisted that he was “in a good mental state,” claiming that the controversial remarks, which many social media users and celebrities condemned as discriminatory and ignorant, helped him feel at peace after releasing his anger. He specifically criticized Taylor Swift, writing: “IF IT’S ABOUT CULTURE… WHY DO WE LET TAYLOR SWIFT BE SEEN ON TV SINGING A SONG ABOUT PUTTING DOWN A BLACK PERSON AND BLAMING THEM FOR THINGS THAT COULD DESTROY A BLACK PERSON’S LIFE FOREVER.”

West seemed to refer to Swift’s performance at the 2025 Grammy Awards, where she danced to Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us” about Drake.

He also took aim at Kendrick Lamar, writing: “KENDRICK IS BEING EXPLOITED BY WHITE AND JEWISH PEOPLE, AND SO AM I.”

Super Bowl Ad and Increasing Tension with Musk

In another odd move, West aired a strange ad during the Super Bowl to promote his Yeezy fashion line. The short clip, which was filmed with an iPhone, surprised viewers as it appeared to be shot in a dentist’s office. West explained, “I spent all the Super Bowl ad money on these new teeth. So, once again, I had to shoot this on my phone.”

West also alluded to increasing tension between him and Musk, responding to a user who referred to the Tesla founder as a “fascist.” West replied, “EVERYONE IS A FASCIST UNTIL A REAL FASCIST APPEARS.”

The dispute also touched on Musk’s alleged interference with West’s social media reach, claiming that his account was “shadowbanned” and that his tweets were no longer gaining the visibility they used to. West shared, “MY TWITTER REACH IS LIMITED, SO I’M NOT ALLOWED TO TREND ON THE SUPER BOWL.”

West Temporarily Deactivates His Twitter Account

According to Milo Yiannopoulos, the owner of Tarantula, a talent management company representing West and his partner Bianca Censori, West has decided to temporarily deactivate his X/Twitter account. Yiannopoulos clarified on Twitter, “Ye has temporarily deactivated his X account.”

A spokesperson for West confirmed that the rapper was not banned, but simply chose to deactivate his account. “We just want to clarify that he deactivated the account and was not banned,” the spokesperson said.

Before deactivating his account, West shared that he had just watched a video of Kodak Black, which led him to realize that he needed to fly to Florida to help his friend.

Ongoing Feud with Taylor Swift and History of Public Feuds

West’s comments about Swift are particularly significant, as they reference a long-standing feud that dates back to the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. During that event, West interrupted Swift’s acceptance speech for Best Female Video, claiming that Beyoncé deserved the award.

Although their relationship seemed to improve over the years, it took a turn for the worse in 2016 when West released the song “Famous,” in which he implied that Swift had given him permission to call her a “b****.” Swift denied the claim, leading to a public dispute that was exacerbated by the release of a controversial phone call between Swift and West.

West’s Sunday tweets also referenced other celebrities such as Travis Scott, R. Kelly, and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.

Despite the backlash, West insisted he was in a positive space. In a video shared on Sunday, West addressed his followers, telling them that he felt compelled to share his thoughts. He remarked, “I know you all think I’m going through something and I have bags under my eyes and everything else… but I just wanted to calmly tell you that I’m in a good space.”

Final Remarks on Musk’s Content Warnings

As West’s tweets grew more controversial, X/Twitter added a content warning to his account, signaling that the platform had flagged his posts as containing potentially sensitive content. West responded, urging Musk to keep his account active, “WHEN I TWEET WITH THESE CODEWORDS AND KISS ELON’S *** AND ASK HIM NOT TO DELETE MY ACCOUNT.”

The ongoing saga between Kanye West and Elon Musk has certainly captured the public’s attention, with many wondering how it will unfold in the coming weeks.
