Kanye West’s X Account Resurfaces—But Something’s Not Right

Kanye West has made a surprising return to X (formerly Twitter) just three days after his account was deactivated following a series of vile, sexist, homophobic, and anti-Semitic rants. The 47-year-old rapper’s sudden disappearance on Monday led to widespread speculation about whether he had voluntarily shut down his account or if the platform had taken action against him.

By Thursday, West’s account was reinstated, but fans and critics quickly noticed some significant changes. While his profile picture and header image remained blank, his bio now simply states “Ye”, and many of his previous tweets—including those that sparked the controversy—are no longer visible. This cleanup led some users to believe that either West or X’s moderation team had scrubbed his account to mitigate the fallout.

West’s return has already ignited a wave of reactions on social media, with his name rapidly trending. Some fans expressed relief and support, while many others criticized his comeback, emphasizing the need for accountability and responsible behavior.

The controversy surrounding Kanye West has become a recurring theme, as he has faced backlash multiple times over the years for his erratic behavior, offensive remarks, and provocative statements. While X’s leadership has not yet commented on his return, platform users are closely watching to see if the rapper will adopt a more measured approach or if another outburst is on the horizon.

With West’s influence extending beyond music into fashion, business, and pop culture, his actions on social media often carry significant impact. Whether his return to X marks a fresh start or merely sets the stage for more controversy, it is clear that Kanye West continues to be a polarizing figure, attracting both admiration and criticism with every move he makes.

What’s Different About Kanye’s X Account?

While his profile has been reinstated, almost all of his most offensive anti-Semitic posts have been deleted. However, some remnants of his controversial three-day rant remain in the replies section. Additionally, his profile now carries a ‘sensitive content’ warning for users who are not logged into X, though it is unclear when the label was added.

The message displayed to visitors reads:

“Caution: This profile may include potentially sensitive content. You’re seeing this warning because they post potentially sensitive images or language. Do you still want to view it?”

One of the only surviving posts from February 10 states:

“Since I’m getting kicked off Twitter soon, everybody is a Nazi until a real Nazi pulls up.”

It remains unknown whether Kanye himself removed his offensive posts or if they were taken down by X moderators.

Elon Musk’s Response and Kanye’s Last Tweet

Elon Musk, the owner of X, addressed the controversy, confirming that Kanye’s account had been classified as NSFW (Not Safe for Work) due to his disturbing posts.

“Given what [Kanye] has posted, his account is now classified as NSFW. You should not be seeing that anymore,” Musk stated.

Before his profile vanished, Kanye thanked Musk for allowing him to express himself, comparing his ranting spree to a psychedelic experience.

“I’m logging out of Twitter. I appreciate Elon for allowing me to vent. It has been very cathartic to use the world as a sounding board. It was like an Ayahuasca trip.”

“Love all of you who gave me the energy and attention. Till we connect again. Good afternoon and goodnight.”

Kanye West Faces Intense Backlash Over Latest Scandals

Kanye West has ignited a fresh wave of outrage following his latest scandals, which included racist, sexist, and anti-Semitic remarks, as well as personal attacks on Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, and plus-size models. The 47-year-old rapper also reiterated his highly controversial 2018 statement that “slavery was a choice”, further fueling the backlash.

However, it was West’s actions during the Super Bowl that truly sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry and beyond. He used the massive platform to promote his Yeezy fashion line, featuring a $20 T-shirt with a swastika design. The offensive merchandise prompted Shopify to swiftly remove his products from its platform, citing violations of its hate speech policies.

Adding to the controversy, West released a bizarre Super Bowl ad, filmed on an iPhone, in which he smiled and declared:

“I spent all the money for the commercial on these new teeth. So once again, I had to shoot it on the iPhone. Go to Yeezy.com.”

The ad’s strange tone, coupled with West’s previous comments, only intensified the public’s outrage, with many questioning his mental state and motives.

Prominent Hollywood figures did not hold back their condemnation. Isla Fisher called him a “monster”, urging fans to unfollow him. Meanwhile, David Schwimmer branded him a “deranged bigot”, highlighting the dangers of hate speech:

“His hate speech fuels real-life violence. Silence is complicity.”

The reaction on social media has been equally fierce, with hashtags like #CancelKanye and #BoycottYeezy trending across platforms. Many brands and partners have also begun distancing themselves from the rapper, raising questions about his future in the industry.

With Kanye West’s history of controversial behavior, this latest scandal has pushed the boundaries even further, leaving fans, critics, and business partners to grapple with the fallout of his divisive actions.

Industry Fallout: Talent Agency & Film Project in Jeopardy

The backlash has already impacted Kanye professionally. On Monday, 33 & West talent agency announced it had cut ties with him. Agent Daniel McCartney stated:

“Effective immediately, I am no longer representing YE (F/K/A Kanye West) due to his recent harmful and hateful remarks that myself nor 33 & West can stand for. Peace and love to all.”

Additionally, sources claim Kanye’s $25 million fictional art film—partly shot in Japan—has been thrown into turmoil. His wife, Bianca Censori, who was cast in the lead role, is reportedly refusing to continue filming, feeling “deeply traumatized” by his actions. An insider told DailyMail.com:

“Bianca is horrified by what Kanye has done. She does not align with these views at all. She is so put off that she is refusing to continue shooting.”

Two producers are also on the verge of quitting, putting the entire production on hold. The future of the film remains uncertain.

What’s Next for Kanye West?

With his account reinstated but still under scrutiny, it remains to be seen whether Kanye will return to posting—or if X will step in to limit his reach further. His latest scandals have already cost him millions in deals and professional relationships, with more fallout likely to come.
