Kanye West’s Twitter account has been temporarily suspended after his latest posts on the social media platform.
The rapper had shared a series of controversial tweets, including the phone number of a Forbes journalist he referred to as a “white supremacist.”
It was subsequently confirmed by a Twitter spokesperson that Kanye’s tweet was in violation of the rule but he didn’t elaborate further.
Kanye’s suspension was revealed by former NBA player Rick Fox who posted on twitter to share the development.

Kanye’s suspension comes on the heels of his wife Kim Kardashian’s announcement that she has frozen her Instagram and Facebook accounts to stop “the spreading of hate, propaganda, and misinformation.”
