Kanye West has once again found himself at the center of controversy after unleashing a string of inflammatory tweets that ultimately led to the deactivation of his Twitter account.
The rapper, 47, took aim at multiple targets, including longtime rival Taylor Swift, while also making a series of anti-Semitic, misogynistic, and racist remarks.
In response, Twitter owner Elon Musk confirmed that West’s account had been classified as NSFW, stating, “You should not be seeing that anymore.”
Kanye’s Super Bowl Night Twitter Storm
During Sunday night’s Super Bowl, Kanye launched a tirade on Twitter, expressing his frustrations and making several controversial statements.
In one tweet, he appeared to criticize Taylor Swift’s presence on television, questioning why she was being given a platform to perform a song that he claimed could harm Black men.
He also targeted Super Bowl halftime performer Kendrick Lamar, alleging that both he and Kanye himself were being manipulated by powerful groups.
Despite his inflammatory tweets, West insisted he was in a “good space” and that venting online had been a cathartic experience.
In his final tweet before deactivating his account, he thanked Musk for allowing him to express himself, likening the experience to an “Ayahuasca trip.”
A Strange Super Bowl Ad and Financial Woes
As if his tweets weren’t enough to raise eyebrows, Kanye also aired an unusual Super Bowl commercial for his Yeezy fashion line.
The ad, which appeared to be filmed on his iPhone inside a dentist’s office, featured him admitting that he had spent his entire advertising budget on new teeth.
“I spent all the money for the commercial on these new teeth,” he said while flashing a smile behind sunglasses. The bizarre clip ended with Kanye directing viewers to “Go to Yeezy.com.”
Clashing with Elon Musk and Accusations of Shadow Banning
Tensions between Kanye and Elon Musk escalated further when West accused the Twitter owner of limiting his reach through shadow banning.
He claimed that his tweets were deliberately being suppressed to prevent him from trending during the Super Bowl.
In response to a user comparing Musk to a Nazi, West made a cryptic remark about “real Nazis,” seemingly alluding to recent controversies surrounding Musk himself.
As speculation about his future on Twitter grew, Milo Yiannopoulos, who represents Kanye through his talent management company Tarantula, confirmed that West had chosen to deactivate his account rather than being outright banned.
However, many observers noted that his escalating behavior had likely led to Musk pulling the plug.
Kanye’s Longstanding Feud with Taylor Swift Resurfaces
West’s latest outburst reignited his decade-long feud with Taylor Swift, which dates back to the infamous 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when he interrupted her acceptance speech.
Over the years, their relationship has gone through ups and downs, with new tensions emerging in 2016 when Kanye released the song “Famous,” in which he claimed Swift had approved controversial lyrics about her.
Swift denied ever giving her blessing, leading to a public fallout between the two.
His recent tweets targeting Swift sparked renewed backlash, with many fans and celebrities condemning his words as sexist and racially charged.
The timing of his attack—during an event as widely watched as the Super Bowl—only intensified the controversy.
Kanye’s Final Thoughts and Twitter’s Response
Despite the uproar, Kanye remained defiant in his final moments on Twitter.
He posted a video assuring fans that he was in a “good space” and that he stood by everything he had tweeted.
“I got my ideas out; that’s all that happened, and that was very freeing for me,” he said.
Twitter, meanwhile, took action by placing a content warning on his profile, alerting users that his tweets contained potentially sensitive material.
Kanye responded sarcastically, joking about needing to “kiss Elon’s a**” to keep his account active.
What’s Next for Kanye?
With his Twitter account deactivated and controversy continuing to follow him, Kanye’s next move remains uncertain.
However, given his history, it’s unlikely this will be the last time he finds himself in the headlines.
Whether he returns to Twitter, shifts his focus to other platforms, or takes a step back from public outbursts, one thing is clear—Kanye West’s ability to stir up chaos remains as strong as ever.
