Instagram and Twitter said they have restricted the accounts of US rapper Kanye West over posts slammed as anti-Semitic
A spokeswoman for Twitter told AFP on Sunday that West's account was locked due to a violation of the social media platform's policies.
In the tweet, which is no longer visible on West's account, the rapper said,"I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE," in apparent reference to a US military readiness code known as DEFCON. On Friday, 45-year-old West posted screenshots on Instagram of a conversation with rapper Diddy, who called out West over the T-shirt and its message.
