Kanye West’s Twitter account appears to have been deactivated after the rapper sent an eight-word message to the site’s owner, Elon Musk, following his criticism of Taylor Swift during the Super Bowl.On Sunday (February 9), a bizarre commercial featuring West—legally known as Ye—aired during the 59th Super Bowl. The ad, which was filmed on his iPhone at a dentist’s office, quickly caught attention.The 30-second clip showed the 47-year-old wearing sunglasses inside the medical facility.It included just two lines of dialogue: “What’s up, guys. I spent all the money for the commercial on these new teeth.””So, once again, I had to shoot it on the iPhone.
It comes off the back of his controversial Grammys stunt
Meanwhile, during the NFL Championship game, West used Twitter to criticize Taylor Swift, 35, for apparently “singing” along to Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance of his Grammy-winning track, “Not Like Us.”“IF IT’S ABOUT THE CULTURE… WHY ARE WE LETTING TAYLOR SWIFT BE SEEN ON TV SINGING A SONG ABOUT TAKING A BLACK MAN DOWN AND ACCUSING HIM OF THINGS THAT COULD DESTROY A BLACK MAN’S LIFE?” he wrote.In another post, he thanked Elon Musk, 53, for “allowing [him] to vent” on the platform before announcing he was “logging out.”“I’m logging out of Twitter. I appreciate Elon for allowing me to vent. It has been very cathartic to use the world as a sounding board. It was like an Ayahuasca trip.“Love to all of you who gave me your energy and attention. Till we connect again. Good afternoon and good night.”
His account has been deactivated
The controversial exit comes just days after West took to Twitter to claim he had “dominion” over his wife, Bianca Censori, 30, after she posed beside him in a see-through dress on the Grammys red carpet.“I have dominion over my wife. This ain’t no woke-ass feminist st. She’s with a billionaire, why would she listen to any of you dumb a broke b*****s?“People say the red carpet look was her decision… Yes, I don’t make her do anything she doesn’t want to, but she definitely wouldn’t have been able to do it without my approval, you stupid a** woke pawns.”In another post, the ‘Runaway’ rapper referred to himself as a “Nazi.”“I love Hitler. Now what, b****es?” he also wrote on Friday (February 7).A ‘sensitive content warning’ was added to West’s Twitter account following his antisemitic tirade, and celebrities like Friends‘ David Schwimmer and Piers Morgan called for Musk to ban West from the platform.“We can’t stop a deranged bigot from spewing hate-filled, ignorant bile… but we CAN stop giving him a megaphone, Mr. Musk,” Schwimmer, 58, wrote.“Kanye West has 32.7 million followers on your platform, X. That’s twice as many people as the number of Jews in existence. His sick hate speech results in REAL-LIFE violence against Jews.”West recently revealed in an interview that he had been misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2016 and that he actually had autism.“I went to this doctor, one that works with Justin Bieber, one that works with… I’m not even going to name other names and stuff,” the father of four told Justin Laboy.
West recently revealed he was misdiagnosed with bipolar
“My wife took me to do that because she said, ‘Something about your personality doesn’t feel like it’s bipolar. I’ve seen bipolar before.’“She’s educated—so she says, ‘I’ve seen bipolar before,’ and I’ve come to find it’s really a case of autism that I have.”West went on to say that his diagnosis is the reason he does the “opposite” of what his loyal fans want.“I’ve come to find out it’s really a case of autism that I have, and autism takes you to a Rain Man thing where you’re like, ‘Oh man, I’m going to wear this [Donald] Trump hat because I like Trump in general,’ and then when people tell you not to do it, you just get fixated on that one point.“That’s my problem—when fans tell me to do my album a certain way, I’ll do it the opposite way just because.”
