You Care: Ye aka Kanye West Returns To Twitter, “Crashes” ComplexCon
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Prince Williams / Getty Elon Musk is just letting everyone back on Twitter.

In case you missed, Ye got himself banned from Twitter, prior to Elon Musk’s purchase, thanks to his antisemitic rhetoric. Since Phony Stark recently reinstated Donald Trump’s Twitter account, things like gatekeeping racism and antisemitism are no longer a priority.
