Since being un-suspended on Saturday, the 46-year-old rapper has cleared his account, which currently boasts over 31 million followers.

His previous posts had been present upon his reinstatement through at least Monday. Ye is not following any other accounts at the moment.

According to the Wall Street Journal, an anonymous source claimed that he provided "reassurance" that he would not share "antisemitic or otherwise harmful language" on his newly restored account.

In December 2022, West was suspended from Twitter after posting an image that combined a swastika and a Star of David.

At the time, Elon Musk confirmed the Heartless rapper's suspension, saying that the post was deemed an "incitement to violence."

Last October, Ye was also banned from Instagram for sharing multiple antisemitic messages on the platform.

He was also kicked off of Twitter at this point, but Musk restored his account when he took over as CEO before the subsequent suspension in December.
