Kanye West has again been suspended from Instagram for anti-Semitic comments, according to reports from various outlets such as NBC News.
A spokesperson from Meta has confirmed that the 45-year-old Instagram influencer was suspended from the platform after he posted a screenshot of a conversation he was having with alleged rapist Russell Simmons, who has been in Bali, a country with no extradition treaty with the United States, since the slew of allegations became public back in 2017.
Kanye West has been once again suspended from Instagram, this time as a result of anti-Semitic comments he made in a text conversation with alleged rapist Russell Simmons
In the text message that he posted to the social media service, West told Simmons — who was pleading with Kanye to “rebuild his business” — that he has to “get the Jewish business people to make their contracts fair or die trying.” The Instagram post was also captioned: “The entire entertainment business changes now on Donda in Jesus name.”
The Instagram post is just the latest in a string of anti-Semitic comments that West has made in recent months. The 45-year-old father of four was suspended by Instagram and Twitter for his comments and has been dropped by his talent agency CAA, the fashion house Balenciaga, the sneaker brand Adidas, and more as a result.
“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,” West tweeted in October.
Furthermore, reports indicate that HBO had to cancel an upcoming episode of the LeBron James-produced series The Shop, as West apparently used the platform to spew further anti-Semitic rhetoric. Van Lathan, the TMZ employee who confronted Kanye West when he said that “slavery was a choice” back in 2018, also claims that West said he “loved Hitler and Nazis.”
