Seven minutes. This is all it took for Kanye West, alias Ye, being expelled from the Twitch platform this April 25. Under the pseudonym yeezy_streamthe American rapper triggered the indignation as soon as he appeared live, before seeing his live coupé unremary. This episode marks a new step in the descent into hell of a formerly essential figure of the music scene.
The Live only gathered a handful of spectators – less than 220 – but was enough to trigger the alert on Twitch. In the space of a few minutes, Kanye has multiplied provocations, thus sealing his digital fate.
Ye shocks Twitch, here is what led the immediate cut of his live
From the first seconds of its broadcast, Ye chained visual and verbal provocations. Here is what the spectators could see:
- Appearance in Black outfit recalling the Ku Klux Klan ;
- Repeated launches ofinsults And immediately;
- Anti -Semitic statements open;
- Nazi greetings And cries of “Heil Hitler”.
Faced with this flow of content contrary to the rules of the platform, the reaction was immediate: the live was suspended and replaced by a standard message of violation of the violation of Community Guidelines of Twitch.
-Kanye West takes a new limit, Twitch suspends his live controversial
Officially, Twitch has not yet communicated on the specific details that have motivated the flash exclusion of Kanye West. However, the context leaves little room for doubt: by sporting an explicitly hateful aesthetic and uttering anti -Semitic remarks live, Kanye crossed the red lines fixed by the platform.
Some observers believe that Twitch would have anticipated this kind of overflow, as the artist’s recent passive is loaded. As a witness points out, “Kanye West has become synonymous with extreme provocations and hate speech”. This banishment is therefore not an isolated accident, but a reflection of a now systematic behavior.
Kanye West, controversial figure in free fall
Far from his cult albums like Graduation or College DropoutKanye West has transformed in recent years into a symbol of public radicalization. Multiplying anti -Semitic and provocative outings, he even publicly sported a swastika set with diamonds And collaborated with extreme right figures like Nick Fuentes.
Despite the loss of his sponsors, his media supports and his artistic credibility, Ye continues his flight into a media front, oscillating between hate speech and grotesque provocations. His umpteenth attempt to return by streaming only lasted a beat of wings: seven minutes, an unnatiable record.
