Disgraced rapper Kanye West was booted from the popular gaming platform Twitch on Friday after just seven minutes.
The 47-year-old had barely begun his streaming debut when he launched into an antisemitic tirade. Wearing his trademark Prada sunglasses and a black jacket, West threw up a Nazi salute while exclaiming “Heil Hitler” and instructed his followers to “wear Swastikas.”

He compared Musk’s freedom to having an unlimited credit card at Louis Vuitton, allowing him to “buy more and more things.”
His channel, which hadn’t even reached 220 followers, was swiftly replaced with Twitch’s standard violation notice: “This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.”
West’s ban didn’t surprise social media users, with one commenting, “He was live for 420 seconds and probably caused 900 terms of service violations.” Another wrote, “Dude only created an account to say some antisemitism. A grown ass adult went out of their way to create an account just for that.”
Despite his massive $2.7 billion net worth built on decades of musical success, West’s reputation has taken a nosedive due to his antisemitic rhetoric. He’s appeared for interviews wearing a KKK hood and openly declared himself a Nazi while expressing on multiple occasions admiration for Adolf Hitler.
It remains unclear if or when West’s Twitch account will be reinstated, though given the severity of his violations, a permanent ban seems likely.
Mentally ill. Sad but true
Come to Yeshua for HEALING!
Why do we assume he is mentally ill? Can’t he just be AN ASSHOLE?
