Rapper Kanye West leaves X

Kanye West has removed his account on X following backlash regarding a number of inflammatory posts made on the platform.

The American rapper, who is also known as Ye, faced criticism for sharing remarks deemed “hate-filled” towards Jewish individuals.

On Friday, several of his posts focused on the Jewish community, including statements such as “I love Hitler” and “I’m a Nazi.”

Another post said: “I’m never apologising for my Jewish comments.”

As a result of these posts, a “sensitive content warning” was placed on West’s account.

However, the 47-year-old has now seemingly chosen to delete his X account.

“I’m logging out of Twitter,” he wrote. “I appreciate [X owner] Elon [Musk] 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 your energy and attention. To we connect again [sic]. Good afternoon and goodnight.”
