Kanye West returns to X but account is flagged for 'sensitive content'

Kanye West has returned to X

Kanye West has returned to X but his account is still flagged for "sensitive content".

The 47-year-old rapper - who appeared to deactivate his own page after a stream anti-Semitic and misogynistic outbursts last weekend - is now back on the social media platform, but the site displays a warning for people who aren't logged in and visit his page.

The message reads: "Caution: This profile may include potentially sensitive content.

"You’re seeing this warning because they post potentially sensitive images or language. Do you still want to view it?"

Almost all of his offensive posts are no longer on his feed, with one post from February 10 remaining.

The tweet reads: "Since I'm getting kicked off Twitter soon everybody is a Nazi until a real Nazi pulls up."

During his latest anti-Semitic outburst on X, formerly Twitter, Kanye included declarations of admiration for Adolf Hitler and self-identified as a Nazi.

The rapper – who was previously dumped from his deals with household brand names for similar statements – also messaged: “I’m never apologising for my Jewish comments.”

Before deactivating his account on X, Kanye revealed his swastika T-shirt - which has been available to buy on his Yeezy.com store - had been in development for several years, describing it as his “greatest performance art piece thus far”.

As he initially left X, he wrote: “I'm logging out of Twitter. I appreciate Elon for allowing me to vent.

"It has been very cathartic to use the world as a sounding board. It was like an Ayahuasca trip.

"Love all of you who gave me your energy and attention. To we connect again. Good afternoon and good night.(sic)"

X owner Elon Musk confirmed the star's X account was labeled "NFSW" before the rapper took it down, a decision he revealed in response to someone complaining about Kanye sharing pornography on his page.

Elon wrote: "Given what he posted, his account is now classified as NSFW. You should not be seeing that anymore."
