Rapper Kanye West‘s Twitter profile, which was suspended for posting antisemitic remarks, appeared to be back up on the platform, a day after billionaire Elon Musk took ownership of the social media company following his $44 billion deal.
The rapper, now known as Ye, was suspended from Twitter and Meta Platforms’ Instagram last month and the platforms removed some of his online posts that users condemned as antisemitic.
Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Ye, who has over 30 million followers on Twitter, has courted controversy in recent months by publicly ending major corporate tie-ups and making outbursts on social media against other celebrities.
On Oct. 8, Musk tweeted “Welcome back to Twitter, my friend!” when Ye posted on the platform for the first time in two years after his Instagram account was restricted.
Musk took ownership of Twitter with brutal efficiency on Thursday, firing top executives but providing little clarity over how he will achieve the ambitions he has outlined for the influential social media platform.
