Kanye West Back On Instagram & Twitter With Fresh Beefs
By Rima Pundir on November 6, 2022 at 1:30 PM EST
After tons of strange posts, Kanye West was banned from Instagram again, although he's back on both IG and Twitter. In fact, his Twitter account was restored just around the time Elon Musk took control which sparked speculations that it was Musk's doing. That said; the 'Chief Twit' as he now calls himself, had a statement to make about that too, which comes below.
Meanwhile, now that West is off IG, he's picking up fights with people IRL at his son's soccer game, no less, and continuing to antagonize more on Twitter, although he has promised a "sin-free" month. Here's what's going on with Kanye West, who officially changed his name to Ye last year.
Kanye West Is Back On Instagram, Twitter
West was banned last month from Twitter after he made some antisemitic remarks in a Tweet. The now-removed tweet read, "I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE, The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda."
Ye was booted off the social media platform, but got back on just a couple of days ago, when Twitter's new owner, billionaire Elon Musk took over. Soon after, a debate began within Twitter, if Musk had personally reinstated Ye's account, given that the two have had interactions before.
Twitter's new owner refuted the same and even made a statement commenting that West's account "was restored by Twitter before the acquisition. They did not consult with or inform me."
Meanwhile, on Instagram, his last post is dated five days ago and addressed Ari Emmanuel over the shutting down of his Donda school.

Kanye West Is All Praise For Kyrie Irving
Much like Kanye West, who lost a major portion of his fortune after Adidas dropped him for major antisemitic remarks, Kyrie Irving is being dumped by Nike. Irving has also been suspended from the Brooklyn Nets after the basketball team claimed Irving failed to unequivocally say that he had no antisemitic beliefs.
Irving's now-deleted tweet went live last week with a link to the documentary “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America." The documentary includes material pertaining to Holocaust denial and conspiracy theories about Jews and sent a shockwave through NBA and its fans. In the midst of the uproar, Irving defended his right to post what he wants in a rather controversial post-game conference.
Nike, who was about to launch the sneaker, Kyrie 8, has since dropped Irving, with a formal statement, "At Nike, we believe there is no place for hate speech and we condemn any form of antisemitism. To that end, we’ve made the decision to suspend our relationship with Kyrie Irving effective immediately and will no longer launch the Kyrie 8."
Obviously, this has made Irving Kanye's hero, as he later posted in favor of the basketball guard.

Kim Kardashian Is Back On Speaking Terms With Ye
Meanwhile, it seems ex-wife Kim Kardashian is finally back on speaking terms with Kanye after the two were spotted yesterday at their son, Saint's basketball game, speaking on the sidelines. This is about a week after West picked up a fight with a parent at the last basketball game, leaving KimK looking distinctly uncomfortable.
But West is not just beefing with other parents but has also started Twitter wars with the likes of Shaquille O'Neal, stating in a series of Tweets, "Shaq is in business with Jamie Salter. Jaimie [sic] first said he’s 50/50 with David Beckham and 50/50 with Shaq. I said 'Jamie . . . There’s no such thing as 50/50 in business . . . Who has the extra 1 percent for the control and voting rights.'"
Shaq replied as well, saying, "Believe me you don’t know me like that. Worry about your business, and to quote the once great Kanye West 'I got more money than you, so why would I listen to you' take my advice get your family business in order. Have a great day brother."
Then, there's always Ye, taking potshots at Drake!
