Kanye West’s Twitter account returns 7 months after his suspension

Kanye West’s Twitter account has returned.

The rapper, 46, was first suspended from the social media platform in November 2022, having been restricted for tweeting an antisemitic message.

After returning to Elon Musk’s platform, he was suspended again in December 2022 after sharing an image of a swastika blended with a star of David.

But, his account now looks to be back up and running, although the musician – known as Ye – is yet to tweet.

His return comes after Musk admitted he ‘tried’ to keep West’s account active.

Musk tweeted: ‘I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended.’

The Twitter/X owner previously described his approach to content moderation as: ‘If in doubt, let the speech exist.’

Reps for Kanye West and Twitter have been contacted for comment.
