Kanye West now suspended from Twitter after vile anti-Semitic rant

Kanye West was suspended from Twitter after writing early Sunday that he wanted to go “death con 3” on Jews — just hours after Elon Musk welcomed him back to the platform.

In a bizarre and vile rant, the rapper also known as Ye wrote, “I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”

The rapper appeared to be referencing the military term “defcon” which is a term with five levels to denote the intensity of a national security threat.

A Twitter rep told The Post on Sunday afternoon that West’s account “has been locked due to a violation of Twitter’s policies.” That means the Grammy-winner can’t currently tweet, and the tweet in question has been deleted.

The suspension from Twitter for anti-Semitism comes after West was knocked off Instagram on Friday for making anti-Jewish remarks.

His account was restricted after sharing a since-deleted screenshot of an iMessage exchange in which he accused Sean Love Combs, aka Diddy, of being controlled by Jews.

Diddy had told West to “stop playing these internet games.” 

“This ain’t a game,” West said. “Ima use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me.”

He only returned to Twitter on Saturday for the first time since November 2020 after the Instagram ban.

“Welcome back to Twitter, my friend!” Elon Musk, who might soon own the platform, said.

Musk was replying to a tweet in which West criticized Facebook and Instagram owner Mark Zuckerberg for his suspension.

“How you gone kick me off instagram… You used to be my n—-” the rapper wrote, referring to Zuckerberg.

“Who you think created cancel culture?” West, 45, said in another tweet.

His disturbing online posts come less than a week after he created a firestorm for wearing a “White Lives Matter’’ t-shirt to his clothing-line show during Paris Fashion Week.

The 45-year-old rapper later told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson that he was shocked at the uproar over him wearing the shirt.

“They’re looking for an explanation — as an artist, you don’t have to give an explanation, but as a leader, you do,” the “All of the Lights” rapper told Carlson.

“So the answer to why I wrote ‘White Lives Matter’ on a shirt is they do. It’s an obvious thing,” West said.

He said his dad reached out to him about the incident.

“I thought the shirt was a funny shirt. I thought the idea of wearing it was funny. And I said, ‘Dad, why do you think it’s funny?’ And he said, ‘Just a black man stating the obvious,’ ” West said.

The ex-husband of Kim Kardashian has dealt with social-media suspensions before. 

In March, Kanye West hurled a racial slur at Trevor Noah, who had called the rapper out for “harassing” Kim Kardashian amid their divorce, landing the rapper a temporary Instagram suspension.

“What [Kardashian is] going through is terrifying to watch, and it shines a spotlight on what so many women go through when they choose to leave,” said Noah, who recently announced he was stepping down from “The Daily Show.

“What we’re seeing is one of the most powerful, one of the richest women in the world, unable to get her ex to stop texting her, to stop chasing after her, to stop harassing her.” 

“As a society, we have to ask ourselves questions. Do we wish to stand by and watch a car crash when we thought we saw it coming?” Noah asked.
