00:00Kanye West is no longer on X after a four-day-long anti-Semitic, racist, and misogynistic social
00:06media rant. The rapper shared a series of offensive and controversial tweets,
00:11sparking backlash across the platform. West tweeted throughout the weekend,
00:15voicing his support for P. Diddy, claiming he has dominion over his wife Bianca Sensori,
00:20and declaring himself a Nazi. During the Super Bowl, he also ranted about Taylor Swift supporting
00:26her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce. Despite all this, few restrictions were
00:31placed on West's profile by the platform's owner, Elon Musk. A caution message warning of
00:36sensitive content was put on his profile on Sunday, more than 48 hours after his tweeting
00:41spree began. Friends star David Schwimmer called out West for his anti-Semitic social media commentary
00:46and implored Elon Musk to remove the rapper from the platform. The 47-year-old thanked
00:51Musk for allowing him to vent before seemingly logging out of the app. It is unclear whether
00:57West deleted his own account or if it was deactivated by X following mass calls from
01:02users. Either way, his account has now been wiped clear of any past tweets and simply reads,
01:07this account doesn't exist.
