Kanye West was booted out of Twitter temporarily for posting some controversial details about the music industry and racism. The billionaire rapper made a series of posts regarding Universal Music Group, contents of his contract, and asking musicians to call out their respective masters.
"Everyone, please cover me in prayer. I AM ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS PEOPLE ON THE PLANET, AND UNIVERSAL WON'T TELL ME WHAT MY MASTERS COST BECAUSE THEY KNOW I CAN AFFORD THEM ...BLACK MASTERS MATTER," he pleaded.
"MY CHILDREN WILL OWN MY MASTERS ... NOT YOUR CHILDREN ... MY CHILDREN ... MY CHILDREN ... MY CHILDREN."
Attached to the tweet above are pages of 10 contracts. As if that was not enough, West also uploaded a video where he placed a Grammy Award trophy on this toilet and urinated on it before assuring:
"Trust me... I won't STOP."
It appears the rapper-designer was stopped on his tracks as he is unable to access his own Twitter account for the time being.
Rick Fox, a friend of Kanye and former basketball player, reported on a tweet that the controversial rapper was "kicked off Twitter for 12 hours." Strangely enough, West was temporarily banned, not because of the tweets previously mentioned. This even though the posts were outrageous as they are.
It was revealed that the administration at Twitter wanted the rapper to remove a tweet for sharing private details of a Forbes journalist who interviewed Kanye West before. West shared the phone number of journalist Randall Lane, and it was saved on his phone as "Randall Forbes." Along with the number, the caption goes:
"If any of my fans want to call a white supremacist. This is the editor of Forbes."
According to Twitter's privacy rules, the website reserves the right to have someone remove the content of anyone found sharing personal details of another person. Additionally, the account will also get temporarily locked out before the user can post again. This is implemented on the first warning. If the Twitter owner violates the said rule again, the account will be permanently suspended.
