West’s Twitter and Instagram accounts have been locked because of posts by the rapper, now known legally as Ye, that were widely deemed antisemitic, according to reports on Sunday, Oct 9, 2022. — AP

Elon Musk, who is poised to buy Twitter Inc, says he has spoken to Kanye West to express his concerns about the musician’s recent tweet.

Twitter removed a tweet from West last week about Jewish people, and had restricted the handle for violation of its policies. The account was locked just a day after he returned to the platform for the first time in nearly two years.
