Another Day, Another Ban: Kanye West Gets Kicked Off Clubhouse Following His Controversial Interview, Further Adding to His Long List of Banned Social Media Apps
Kanye West has managed to get himself banned again. While the rapper was always known for his controversial point of view, he really tested people with his anti-Semitic comments. Instead of an apology, the rapper seems to be doubling down on his opinions. The first instance started with the ‘Deathcon 3 to Jewish people’ comment and reached with him, admiring Hitler.

The singer’s Twitter account was reinstated after Elon Musk purchased the platform but got himself canceled again after his remarks on the Jewish community. He also gave an interview with Wack 100 for the Clubhouse platform, repeating his opinions and getting himself banned from the site.

What did Kanye West do this time to get himself banned?
Celebrities were already criticizing Ye for his comments. Now active action is being taken to prevent him from spreading anti-Semitic views. The rapper has not stopped with his narrative despite losing his billionaire status due to it. He gave an interview with 100 Wack on Clubhouse recently, and the Q & A session got so controversial that he had to be banned.
A session of about 56 minutes was held, with an entry of $20 per person. His Adidas deal and the rivalry with Endeavor’s Jewish CEO Ari Emanuel were discussed as well. But the boiling point came when Ye gave a rather bizarre theory about the community.

As per West, Jewish people are used by Chinese people to control Black people, and added that Jewish people “are just middlemen.” In the same interview, the rapper also took a dig at Meek Mill for the latter’s previous comments on Ye. The platform gave out its statement on the matter by stating, “We took action to shut down a conversation yesterday because it violated our policies.” They clearly stated how the platform has no tolerance towards bullying, hate speech, or abuse as per their community guidelines.

The worry here is that the continuation of Ye’s rants may lead to gaining extremist supporters as well as normalizing the idea of antisemitic sentiment amongst the young crowd. This has led to a debate on the fine line between freedom of speech and freedom to offend.
