The rapper had his new Twitch channel suspended just seven minutes into his very first livestream after violating their community guidelines and terms of service with a rant filled with hate speech aimed at Jewish people and the LGBTQ+ community.

Rapper, producer, and fashion designer Ye created his own Twitch account early Friday. He had already made several controversial appearances in other people's content before creating his own account.

For those unfamiliar with Twitch, it is a livestreaming platform known mostly for gaming content. It also hosts livestreams about music, art, dance, other forms of creative content, and "in real life" (IRL) streams of people doing anything from the absurd to the mundane.


But Ye's "yeezy_stream"...

...was de-platformed and the rapper banned for "violations of Community Guidelines or Terms of Service" just seven minutes after going live for the first time.

Ye had amassed somewhere between 200 - 3,000 followers—different outlets have reported different totals—and 1,000 views by the time his account was taken down by Twitch.

Ye immediately jumped into his livestream of a hate-filled rant.

He touched on Jewish people, the LGBTQ+ community, and how his ex-wife Kim Kardashian was Paris Hilton's assistant and he should have had babies with Hilton because he'd own hotels by now if he had.

And according to Ye, Elon Musk—in what he characterized as a brilliant business move—had given him multiple "free passes" to post any vitriol he preferred on X. Musk has also proven fond of certain arm gestures Ye enjoys.

Speaking of which, Ye also performed a Nazi salute during his livestream while declaring:

"Heil Hitler."

Almost as soon as it all began, his livestream went offline and his account's landing page was replaced with the message:

"This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service."

That message was later joined by one stating:

"Sorry. Unless you've got a time machine, that content is unavailable."

People were unsurprised by Ye's inability to follow simple rules of common decency, or to maintain a social media platform account that wasn't controlled by Elon Musk.

Throughout the promotional tour for the movie, the actors have been incredibly interactive with each other, telling jokes and making each other laugh, and not so subtly touching, including holding hands, hugging, and kissing each other on the cheek.
