Kanye West said he will go 'death con 3' on Jewish people in a now-removed Tweet
West returned to Twitter — from which he had been on hiatus since Nov. 4, 2020 — after his Instagram account was restricted amid a week of tirades on the platform. Instagram confirmed to Insider it had restricted West's account but did not specify which post was in violation of its policies. After his return to the platform Saturday, tech mogul Elon Musk replied to West, tweeting, "welcome back to Twitter, my friend!" Users on Twitter were swift to call the rapper out for antisemitism and Fox News Host Tucker Carlson for enabling his remarks by interviewing him on his show on Friday.
