Kanye returns to Twitter after account restricted following antisemitic tweets
Kanye West, the rapper also known as Ye, appears to return to Twitter amid a series of restrictions or suspensions after he posted a number of antisemitic tweets.
“Testing Testing Seeing if my Twitter is unblocked,” he writes to his 32 million followers, two weeks after his most recent posts. West has repeatedly doubled down on his comments and refused to apologize for threatening to go “death con 3 against Jewish people.”
