Kanye West's Twitter and Instagram accounts restricted following antisemitic posts
CBSN
Rapper Ye — also known by his given name, Kanye West — has been locked out of his Twitter account "due to a violation of Twitter's policies," the social media platform told CBS News in a statement.
Twitter did not specify which policies had been broken, but the action came not long after West on Saturday night posted an antisemitic tweet in which he threatened to go "death [sic] con 3" on Jewish people.
In the tweet — which has since been removed — West also wrote, "The funny thing is I actually can't be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also."
