Several people who were once close to Ye said that he has long been fascinated by Adolf Hitler, and once wanted to name an album after the Nazi leader.
A Kanye West Twitter post showed an image of the Star of David with a swastika inside. An Elon Musk tweet said his account was suspended.
CNN could not confirm which specific tweet prompted West's suspension. However, earlier in the evening, West - who has legally changed his name to Ye - tweeted an altered image of the Star of David with a swastika inside. In late October, West addressed the antisemitic comments - as well as what he's said about George Floyd's death and Black Lives Matter - in a rambling 16-minute video shared by WmgLab Records on YouTube and seemingly recorded at some point after Adidas ended its business relationship with him.
"I have no association to any hate group," West said as he closed his remarks in prayer. "If any hate happens upon any Jewish person, it is not associated because I am demanding that everyone walk in love."
