Twitter on Thursday took down a tweet from Ye containing an image of a swastika intertwined with a Star of David.

Shortly afterward, Ye posted to Donald Trump s Truth Social platform saying his account had been locked for 12 hours for violating Twitters rules.

The rapper, formerly known as Kanye West , posted the Nazi insignia in the wake of an alarming and widely condemned interview Thursday on Alex Jones Infowars show. Accompanied by white nationalist Nick Fuentes, Ye gave a series of astonishing defenses of Adolf Hitler and Nazis, saying: I see good things about Hitler and We got to stop dissing Nazis all the time.

He followed the interview with a chaotic stream of tweets, including the one containing the swastika linked to the Star of David. That tweet was taken down because it violated the Twitter rules, according to the message that now appears at the tweets link.

Twitter did not immediately return a request for comment.
