Kanye ‘Ye’ West is back on Twitter. The rapper will post another message on Friday after almost two years. His return may be related to Instagram having removed the content from his account shortly before after he broke the rules and guidelines.
A spokesperson for Meta, the parent company of Instagram, confirms to American media that the artist can indeed no longer share photos. Instagram puts restrictions on Kanye’s use of his account. The company does not specify exactly which posts were removed or what restrictions Kanye faces. According to NBC, the sanction is related to anti-Semitic statements..
On Friday, Kanye was the first to post a photo of a black cap that reads 2024 on Twitter, likely a nod to his recent statements that he plans to run for president again in 2024. The post can count on a response from Tesla boss Elon Musk. “Welcome back to Twitter, my friend,” wrote Elon, who recently announced that he still wants to buy the platform after having previously dropped out.
