Kanye West returns to Twitter after ban over anti-Semitic remarks

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, returned to Twitter over after a break from the platform after his account was restricted over anti-Semitic remarks.

Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, returned to Twitter over the weekend, writing "shalom" in one of his first posts since appearing to take a break from the platform after his account was restricted over antisemitic remarks.

Shalom is the Hebrew word for "peace," and is also used as a greeting or parting salutation. The rapper posted it along with a smiley face Sunday in a tweet.

Earlier he had tweeted out: "Testing Testing Seeing if my Twitter is unblocked."

"Don't kill what ye hate," Twitter's new owner, Elon Musk, replied. "Save what ye love."

The exchange came as Ye faces backlash after making a string of antisemitic remarks, which saw both his Twitter and Instagram accounts restricted in October.
