Kanye West has been all over the headlines in the past few weeks.
But in the past weekend, he has managed to have himself blocked on two social media platforms, reportedly over the same causes. This move consequently has triggered another flurry of backlash for the controversial rapper, including the Anti-Defamation League.
Last Saturday, Kanye was booted out of Instagram after Meta restricted his account over anti-semitic tweets.
NBC News confirmed the news, noting that Ye was restricted from posting on the social media platform as one of his content was removed by a moderator after it violated the rules and guidelines.
No post was specified as to what triggered Meta to bar Kanye, but eagle-eyed followers connected the dots and pointed out that it was one of his statements to Diddy.
"I'm a use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me," Kanye commented.
Right after being restricted, Kanye made a Twitter comeback, which was rather shortlived after tweeting an anti-semitic post again.
Buzzfeed confirmed the news after a Twitter rep explained the restriction. Apparently, Kanye tweeted a more elaborate and explicit anti-semitic statement.
"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," he shared.

Because of his subsequent posts on social media, many have vocalized their condemnation of Kanye's recent behavior and statements.
Comedienne activist Sarah Silverman, born Jewish, slammed the rapper for his statements. Similarly, Jamie Lee Curtis tried to appeal to Kanye's patriarchal instincts, noting that words matter, and as a father, his words hurt and incite violence.
Songwriter Diane Warren described Kanye's recent actions to be "vile,"
"abhorrent," and "irresponsible." GRAMMY-winning artist Jack Antonoff is more on the blunt side with his once-in-a-blue-moon tweet.
Alexandra Ocasio Cortez has also blasted Kanye, emphasizing that there is "absolutely no room in this country or world for antisemitism." The Black Jewish Entertainment Alliance and the Anti-Defamation League were also quick to call out Kanye for his recent actions, saying that "there is no excuse for his propagating of white supremacist slogan."
