Kanye West, who is now known as Ye, was booted out from the streaming platform Twitch just minutes after creating his own account, a report has said. The account, under the name "Yeezy_Stream," was taken offline a mere seven minutes after going live when the controversial artist reportedly launched into a hateful tirade targeting Jewish and LGBTQ+ community.
Despite numerous prior appearances on Twitch streams alongside prominent figures such as Kai Cenat, Adin Ross, and Amouranth, Ye's own foray into the platform proved to be short-lived.

Ye launches offensive against Jewish people, LGBTQ+ community

As per The Daily Beast, following the creation of his "Yeezy_Stream" account, the rapper was promptly banned for violating Twitch's community guidelines by disseminating hateful rhetoric.

Ye’s inaugural Twitch stream was marred by an almost immediate barrage of offensive statements directed at the Jewish community and the LGBTQ+ community. The publication detailed that Ye allegedly used slurs and performed a Nazi salute while uttering “Heil Hitler.”

Within approximately seven minutes of going live, Ye's stream was abruptly replaced by a message from Twitch indicating a violation of the platform's Community Guidelines or Terms of Service, the report adeed.
"This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service,” a message stated.

Ye claims Elon Musk ‘allowed’ him to express unfiltered remarks on X

Adding to the controversy, Ye reportedly claimed during the brief stream that Elon Musk had granted him “free passes” on the social media platform X to express his unfiltered thoughts, which have previously included a series of disparaging remarks about his former wife, Kim Kardashian.
Dexterto reported that during his fleeting moments on the platform, Ye managed to garner around 3,000 followers and over 1,000 concurrent viewers. The duration of the ban remains unclear.

Kanye West has been banned from social media platforms

Ye has a history of being suspended from various social media networks due to his speech and rhetoric. Ye was previously banned from Twitter (now X) in October 2022 for declaring his intent to go “death con 3 on Jewish people.”
He faced further suspension from the same platform just two months later for posting an image that combined the Star of David with a swastika. He has also been banned from Facebook.
More recently, earlier this month, Ye appeared for an interview with DJ Akademiks while wearing an all-black hood and outfit that drew comparisons to Ku Klux Klan (KKK) attire.
