(MENAFN- Live Mint) American rapper and businessman Kanye West, 47, who now goes by 'Ye', has seen his X (formerly known as Twitter) account deactivated, following a series of concerning activities.

From listing a Swastika shirt for sale on Shopify, to hate filled rants against Jews and Taylor Swift, posts supporting alleged rapist Sean Diddy Combs, claiming autism as reason for being 'weird', posting naked pictures of wife Bianca Censori and more, Kanye West's X account has reportedly been banned by Elon Musk, according to multiple reports.

On February 10, his X profile displayed the message“this account doesn't exist.” Further, the account did not turn up in searches on X's official website early on February 11.

On February 9 Ye claimed his X posts were being limited, posting:“MY TWITTER REACH HAS BEEN LIMITED SO I AM NOT ALLOWED TO TREND DOING SUPER BOWL I AM SETTING UP A DISCORD CHANEL ON MY WEBSITE WELCOME TO AMERICA.” (sic)

Later, a statement by Ye's Yeezy brand's Milo Yiannopoulos confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that the rapped had deactivated his account.“Ye has deactivated his X account for the time being. Journalists with requests for comment about this or any other matter pertaining to Ye may direct them to my firm at ....”

“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,” Ye wrote in his final post. According to an AFP report, it was not immediately clear if Ye deactivated the account himself or if X took it down and X did not respond to questions about the same.

According to an NDTV report, Elon Musk later confirmed that Ye's account had been classified as 'NSFW' (not safe for work) and the public“won't be seeing” account due to his posts.
