"Given what he has posted, his account is now classified as NSFW. You should not be seeing that anymore."

In comparing the experience to an "Ayahuasca trip," Ye indicated that he used the platform as a "sounding board" for his emotions. Even more alarming were his remarks promoting discussions about Hitler. TMZ reported that he shockingly identified himself as a Nazi.

David Schwimmer and other celebrities have also called on Musk to ban Ye from X due to the harmful consequences of his hate speech. Schwimmer emphasized that such rhetoric leads to real-life violence against Jewish individuals.

Ye attributed Diddy's legal troubles to racism in one of his social media rants. The songwriter, who is currently overseas for fear of becoming involved in Diddy's case, likened the music mogul's legal battle to his antisemitic scandal.

"ALL YOU PLEEEEEASE COME AT ME THATS HOW WE SPOT THE K-ONS LET THESE WHITE PEOPLE AND JEWISH PEOPLE TELL YOU WHAT TO DO AND SAY F-CK DIAGEO AND F-CK ALL YALL N--GAS IN ADVANCE."

He elaborated further by identifying racism as the root cause of Diddy's current troubles before concluding his statement that read:

"JUST FOR CLARITY THEY TYRING TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF PUFF ME AND MY BROTHER HAD OUR ISSUES BUT THESE WHITE PEOPLE TRYING TO USE PUFF TO SCARE N--GAS IM NEITHER SCARED NOR BRAVE THIS JUST ME."
