Kanye West returns to Twitter as ban is lifted after anti-Semitism comments

Kanye West is back on Twitter after his account was blocked following a series of awful anti-semitic posts.

The rapper, who is no stranger to controversy, took to the social media platform on Sunday (November 20) to inform his 39.1 million followers that he was back.

Last month, Kanye, who changed his legal name to Ye in 2018, had his Twitter account locked after he vowed to go "death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE,” a reference pertaining to a higher state of alert under the U.S. military.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, his Instagram account was restricted too – with Kanye unable to post, comment or send direct messages with the platform then deleting some of his posts.

    Kanye has since offered some sort of an apology for his comments in an interview with Piers Morgan last month.

    Appearing on the Piers Morgan Uncensored show, the 45-year-old rapper initially defended his comments after Morgan confronted him about his threats to go "DEFCON 3 on Jewish people.”

    When asked if he regretted the remarks, he initially responded “No, absolutely not” before admitting that the comments were racist: “Yes, that’s why I said it," he said. "I fought fire with fire. I’m not here to get hosed down.”

    Later in the show Kanye offered an apology. "I will say, I’m sorry for the people that I hurt with the DEFCON [remark]," he said.

    "The confusion that I caused. I feel like I caused hurt and confusion and I’m sorry for the families that had nothing to do with the trauma that I had been through."

    He added: “Hurt people hurt people – and I was hurt.”
