Kanye West has lost much owing to his antisemitic remarks. It included his social media account, where it all started. Ye posted an image on his former Twitter account, which appeared to be a swastika interwoven with a Star of David. So the owner, Elon Musk, took the matter into his hands, removing him from the platform. But 2023 seems to have turned things around for him as the ‘Donda’ singer gets back his handle reveals reports.

CBS News recently rolled out a report stating that Twitter, now called X, has reinstalled Ye’s account. This decision came from the new owner of the platform, but there are some conditions. The Grammy winner can not monetize his account and no ads will appear next to his posts. They also made sure that he will not make any controversial comments like the ones that got him banned.

It looks like Elon Musk has finally changed his mind about Kanye West, who previously labeled his post an “incitement to violence.” It might have happened because of the hype this fashion and music mogul has created on social media in the past months. His fans are curious about his new music album and have been circulating his old songs.

In November 2022, the American musician returned to Twitter after a two-week hiatus from the social network. Kanye West got blocked for an anti-Semitic tweet. But Elon Musk welcomed him back and even responded positively to his initial post by writing, “Don’t kill what ye hate, Save what ye love.”

Earlier, the 52-year-old also tried to bring back former U.S. President Donald Trump on X through a poll. About 14.8 million Twitter users took part in it and the result came in his favor with 51.8% voting. However, Trump did not show any interest in returning to the platform and decided to stay on his new platform, Truth Social.
