KANYE West has quit X after Elon Musk slapped the rapper's account with a warning following his vile anti-Semitic rant as he aired a bizarre Super Bowl ad on Sunday.
The music mogul, 47, bought a 30-second ad which he filmed on his iPhone while getting a new set of teeth – leaving some sports fans outraged.
Tesla tycoon and X owner Musk, 53, put a warning on Ye's account last night following the rapper's days-long digital rampage on the platform.
During his X frenzy, Ye claimed to "love Hitler" and labelled himself a Nazi alongside declaring he has dominion over his wife and calling for his "idol" Sean 'Diddy' Combs to be freed from jail.
Musk said in a post: "Given what he has posted, his account is now classified as NSFW. You should not be seeing that anymore."
Ye later addressed the disclaimer on X and urged Musk to let him keep his account.
He said: "AS I TWEET IN CODE WORDS AND KISS ELONS A** AND BEG HIM TO NOT CANCEL MY ACCOUNT."
The rapper then later posted a video of himself where he promised that he's of sound mind following his odious posts.
Ye said: "I know you're all thinking I'm going something through right now and I've got bags under my eyes and s***.
"I wouldn't want nobody to like, do an intervention on me – that's why I wanted to put this video up cause you're all thinking, 'Ye really going it through something right now – somebody need to go get them or go take his Twitter and stuff like that'.
"But I'm just telling you calmly that I am in a good space – I'm really in a positive space, it's cathartic."
He also suggested that he doesn't regret a single post he made, explaining that he got his "ideas out" which was "very freeing".
The music mogul added: "It was worth everything – it was worth everything to do that."
The rapper then announced later that he was "logging out of Twitter" and appeared to take down his account, with a search of his name revealed his page no longer exists.
Amidst the Sunday chaos, Ye's advert aired in the second quarter of the big match between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, which showed the rapper in a medical facility wearing sunglasses.
He said in the clip: "What's up guys. I spent all the money for the commercial on these new teeth.
"So once again I had to shoot it on the iPhone.
"Erm – um – go to Yeezy.com."
Advert slots for the 2025 Super Bowl have been selling for up to an eye-watering $8 million, meaning every second of footage could be costing $266,666.
Fans expressed their disapproval of the random advertisement, with one calling it a "cringe-worthy spectacle".
Others were also furious that Ye was able to get air time following his sick anti-Semitic rant on X.
The Super Bowl ad didn't stop Ye from continuing his horrific posts before deleting his account, however, as he still managed to slam his longtime rival, Taylor Swift.
West said: "IF ITS ABOUT THE CULTURE … WHY ARE WE LETTING TAYLOR SWIFT BE SEEN ON TV SINGING A SONG ABOUT TAKING A BLACK MAN DOWN AND ACCUSING OF THINGS THAT CAN TAKE A BLACK MAN DOWN FOR LIFE."
He appeared to be referencing Taylor Swift dancing to Kendrick Lamar's Drake diss track Not Like Us last week at the Grammys.
Ye also said that Super Bowl Halftime headliner Kendrick Lamar was being "used by these white people and jews" in yet another atrocious anti-Semitic post before disappearing from the platform.
'NAZI' POSTS
More than eight hours into the unhinged rant Kanye said "IM A NAZI" and "I LOVE HITLER".
A follow-up deranged tweet saw him say: "Hitler was sooooo fresh."
He later added: "I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT THE F*** ANTI SEMETIC MEANS."
He also shared a vile swastika T-shirt he had "wanted" to make "for years".
In 2022, Kanye was widely condemned for similar comments which were described as "hateful" and "inexcusable".
He was dropped by brands including GAP and Adidas over the anti-Semitic comments.
He doubled down on these remarks in an appalling rant during a masked interview with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones where he proclaimed "I like Hitler".
Concerns online today continued to intensify following more posts where West spoke on his wife Bianca.
A concerning comment said: "I HAVE DOMINION OVER MY WIFE THIS AINT NO WOKE AS FEMINIST S***.
"YES I DONT MAKE HER DO NOTHING SHE DOESNT WANT TO BUT SHE DEFINITELY WOULDNT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IT WITHOUT MY APPROVAL."
Kanye and Bianca made headlines earlier this week when they appeared on the Grammys red carpet.
Censori rocked up almost naked in an "invisible couture dress" as Kanye stood beside her in an all-black causal outfit.
'DUMB' GRAMMYS CRITICS
Kanye and his wife Bianca, 30, made headlines earlier this week when they appeared on the Grammys red carpet.
Censori rocked up almost naked in an "invisible couture dress" as Kanye stood beside her in an all-black causal outfit.
And in Ye's latest X frenzy post, he slammed critics as "dumb" and "lame" while also self-congratulating himself for supporting her "personal expression" on the red carpet.
The rapper said: "Anyone who called my wife's Grammy look a stunt is dumb and laaaame yes youuuu.
"She been dressing naked for 2 years now all of a sudden it's a stunt.
"Every single b**** on the planet wish they had her bravery body platform and access to money and a husband that supported they personal expression.
"There are a lot of things that had to converge for this moment to happen."
Kanye also wrote that he has "dominion" over his wife Bianca in another concerning post, adding that "THIS AINT NO WOKE AS FEMINIST S***".
Alluding to the Grammys outfit, he said: "YES I DONT MAKE HER DO NOTHING SHE DOESNT WANT TO BUT SHE DEFINITELY WOULDNT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IT WITHOUT MY APPROVAL."
'FREE PUFF'
Kanye started his foul-mouthed posting spree on X by pleading with newly-inaugurated President Donald Trump to free Sean "Diddy" Combs despite the looming allegations against the music mogul.
The 54-year-old is currently locked up and awaiting trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges – all of which he denies.
The first of dozens of deranged Kanye posts simply read: "FREE PUFF."
He wrote a similar message on Instagram.
In another, Ye tagged President Trump and begged: "PLEASE FREE MY BROTHER PUFF."
Kanye and Trump have had a warm relationship in the past with the pair growing close in the run up to the Republican's first election win in 2016.
They were pictured together in The White House in 2018 with Trump describing Ye as a "complicated" but "really nice guy", last year.
Ye's posts continued on for hours with a concerned Kanye saying in one that Combs has been "rotting" in jail.
The Graduation rapper called him his "idol" and "hero" as he urged his celebrity pals to support the jailed music mogul because he "gave his life to us".
Combs' trial for sex trafficking and racketeering is set for May 5.
Ye caused further controversy on Thursday when he announced plans to sell merchandise from a joint project between the pair.
On the Yeezy website, Kanye showed he is now selling a series of Sean John shirts in red, white, blue, black and gray for just £17 each.
Sean John is a fashion lifestyle company created by Combs back in 1988.
Ye described it a business arrangement between the rapper duo which he alleges was agreed to prior to Combs' spell behind bars.
A social media post from Ye said: "YEEZY SEAN JOHN COLLAB AVAILABLE @ YEEZY.COM ME AND PUFF SPLITTING THIS 50/50 LIKE WE DISCUSSED BEFORE THEY LOCKED HIM UP."
Combs' Instagram account – believed to be run by his family – shared a screenshot of Kanye's X post alongside the caption: "Thank you to my brother @Ye."
The post is just one of nine uploaded to Diddy's Instagram with almost all of them coming in the past six months.
The messages continued late into the night with many of them going on to reference unfounded claims about Combs' case.
He accused the criminal justice system of trying to "make an example out of Puff" and said he wanted to find out who was "after" the hip-hop icon.
One of his final messages read: "PUFF WE LOVE YOU."
Combs was first arrested on September 16, in Manhattan by Homeland Security on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.
He has been holed up in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center ever since.
Across the past few months, Combs has been hit with dozens of additional civil lawsuits for rape and assault including against children as young as 9.
He vehemently denies all the allegations.
It comes as reports are suggesting Kanye is pouring all of his energy into a fashion and music comeback after returning to the US from Japan.
He reportedly started to plan his return following Trump's seismic election win and arrived in America after the inauguration last month.
In January, Kanye posted on X: "Trump's back in office. Ye's back a billionaire. The world might just be ok."
Inside Kanye and Trump's unlikely friendship
The pair have been friends for years but their relationship has not been without its ups and downs.
