Ye returns to Twitter after being restricted for antisemitic post

The rapper formerly known as Kanye West is back on Twitter after having his account restricted last month for posting an antisemitic tweet. 

Ye on Thursday tweeted a black-and-white photo of NBA player Kyrie Irving, who, like Ye, is under heavy criticism for a social media post seen as promoting antisemitism.

Ye's Twitter suspension began early last month after he tweeted that he would go "death [sic] con 3" on Jewish people, a reference to the military's use of defense readiness conditions or defcons. Prior to that post, Ye had not tweeted since November 2020.
