During a three-day period Kanye West’s offensive talk led him to new social media controversy.
The public and famous celebrities strongly rejected his remarks because they included hate speech against Jewish people, women, and other racial groups.
During the Super Bowl night West attacked singer Taylor Swift by blaming her for compromising the success of Black men.
He stated in his tweet that this was an issue of culture. Why do we put Taylor Swift on TV declaring her plan to destroy a black person through false charges that could ruin him permanently?
West’s new internet attack against Swift caused further conflicts between these two celebrities from their 2009 MTV Video Music Awards clash.
After his Super Bowl remarks West began sharing random and confusing social media updates. He made further anti-Semitic comments, declared admiration for Adolf Hitler, and labeled himself a “Nazi” in several tweets.
Many people online and established figures strongly criticized West’s statements when actor David Schwimmer requested Twitter to block his account.
The public and other stars joined with social media users to condemn West’s hateful posts which forced platform authorities to act.
After time Elon Musk at X responded to the offensive tweets made by Kanye West. Musk, who had allowed West to vent on the platform, confirmed that the rapper’s account was now classified as “NSFW,” which meant his posts would no longer be visible to the public.
According to Musk the new posts violate community standards and have been labeled NSFW. You won’t encounter that material anymore on our system.
Specific comments from West led Musk and Twitter moderators to take immediate action.
Despite being informed of the consequences West maintained his continuous posting habit. He published a strange Super Bowl promotion for his Yeezy brand.
People strongly criticized the advertisement West made using his phone during its strange launch period. Since West spent his advertised funding on dental work he had to film the video using his mobile phone.
West aired his sentiments through social media updates. He announced his decision to quit Twitter in his last tweet. Elon Musk lets me speak my mind openly. He described the experience of using X as “cathartic” and likened it to an Ayahuasca trip.
The public lost access to his Twitter account after his last tweet because his profile got deleted. All the posts that caused public anger over several days had been removed from his social media platform.

West decided to persist despite harsh opposition. He used his final messages to reveal his increasing dispute with Musk pointing out that Musk was suppressing his visibility on X.
Although he mentioned this publicly he stated that Twitter limited his visibility causing his Super Bowl-related tweets to fail to trend.
Only his activities on X caused problems for many people. He stood out through both abnormal conduct and public comments about multiple subjects. His comments about famous people increased the public debate even more.
The talent manager Milo Yiannopoulos states that his client Kanye West will temporarily stop using social media while taking a break.
Yiannopoulos revealed that West chose to remove his profile by himself instead of suffering an official social media block.
Right when it appeared the conflict would fade away West made a surprising declaration.
He tweeted that he had “just seen a video of” fellow rapper Kodak Black, which led him to interpret it as a sign to fly to Florida to help Black, who had been spotted wearing a Donda chain from West’s Yeezy fashion line.
After several days West resumed his hostile relationship with Taylor Swift.
West and Taylor Swift engaged in a longstanding feud that started when he interrupted her speech to give Beyoncé the award during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
The tension flared up again in 2016, when West released his song “Famous,” claiming that Swift had given him permission to refer to her as a “B****” in the lyrics.
Their public fight stemmed from Swift rejecting his claim of having her consent to include certain words.
During public disagreements West still kept expressing his views on social media platforms. His posts aimed at Swift champions but also he disrespected women Jews and those impacted by domestic violence.
Many people examined the dangers of free expression on online platforms because of his blunt social media updates.
Although Musk defends free speech regularly he learned how tough it is to handle offensive content without compromising platform features for open discussions.
The internet platform took firm action following many days of harmful content posts. The social media platform shut down West’s account permanently and Musk verified user access to posts had been discontinued.
Many users show support for the deactivation but others think deeper penalties should happen before this type of posting resumes. Since his account is permanently deactivated Kanye West will no longer have a presence on X.
Social media users understand that public figures bear responsibility for their online habits because of the platform deactivation.
The conflict over Kanye West’s time on X will spark new talks about how social media platforms should manage speech rights and harm prevention.
