Kanye West joined Twitch. He didn't last 10 minutes before getting banned
Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, created his own Twitch account early Friday. "Yeezy_Stream" was taken down just seven minutes after going live after the rapper almost immediately launched into a tirade against Jewish and LGBTQ+ people.
Despite regularly appearing in streams with, and alongside, famous Twitch streamers like Kai Cenat, Adin Ross, and Amouranth, it looks like Ye's own Twitch career will be short-lived. After creating his own Twitch account on Friday, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West got banned by the platform for sharing hateful rhetoric.
According to The Daily Beast, Ye almost immediately launched into a tirade about Jewish people and the LGBTQ+ community during his inaugural Twitch stream, using slurs and throwing up a Nazi salute while saying 'Heil Hitler.'
Ye also notably claimed Elon Musk gave him 'free passes' to post his unfiltered thoughts, including a series of disparaging posts about his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, on X.
In just about seven minutes, Ye's stream was replaced by a message from Twitch that said, 'This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch's Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.'
According to Dexterto, Ye accumulated about 3,000 followers and over 1,000 viewers during his minutes-long stream.
Twitch did not immediately respond to Fortune's request for comment.
It's unclear how long the ban will last, but Ye has a history of getting banned from social networks for his speech and rhetoric. Ye, who is worth roughly $2.7 billion as of 2025 thanks to his long successful career in music, was banned from Twitter (now X) in October 2022 for saying he would go "death con 3 on Jewish people." He was also suspended just two months later for tweeting an image that combined the Star of David with a swastika. In a recent sitdown with DJ Akademiks this month, Ye showed up to the interview wearing an all-black KKK-inspired hood and outfit.

Missoma sale 2025: Shop Doechii and Bella Hadid's fave jewellery brand
The Missoma summer sale is an event we magpies like to mark in our diaries. Because if there's one thing we love more than shopping for new jewellery, it's shopping for new jewellery when there's a sale on. And while we're partial to a Van Cleef lookalike or a Cartier watch alternative, all eyes are on one of our fave affordable jewellery brands and the mega discounts available RN. Coming at you with the best discounts outside of Black Friday, Missoma's summer sale is offering up to 50% off (yep, you read that right) from 9 June to 2 July, so there's no time to dilly-dally, when stock is sold out, it's gone 4eva. 💔 When it comes to spending your hard-earned coin, you can rest assured that you're getting the best quality from Missoma. Designed exclusively in-house at their London studio, each piece is handmade by skilled artisans using responsibly sourced and 100% recycled 14ct and 18ct gold vermeil and sterling silver.'Whether you're getting on a flight or spending the summer staycation-ing, we've got you covered,' Marisa Hordern, founder and creative director at Missoma, said in a press statement. "We love to give our community exclusive offers to show our appreciation, which is why you can save on everything from best-selling pearls to timeless everyday essentials.' Shop the Missoma sale now Considering we're your besties, we couldn't let you scroll aimlessly through the site looking for the best Missoma pieces to shop. Instead, we've curated this edit of our fave pieces in the sale, plus, the most iconic celeb-approved pieces that you can bag for a hefty discount. Don't say we don't put you on. As seen on Bella Hadid. As seen on Selena Gomez. As seen on Simone Ashley. Now, we love Missoma for its tarnish-free options, incredible Bottega-inspired drop earrings and super-speedy delivery. But we'd be lying if we said the gaggle of VIP faces dripping in the brand hasn't won us over. The Swamp Princess – Doechii – was spotted wearing Missoma on the streets of NYC in June. And if this stylish queen is sporting something, we've got it on good authority that it's fashion girl-approved. As seen on Bella Hadid. While Doechii chose a gorge pair of Lucy Williams Gold Plated Entwined Hoops to top off her playfully tailored look, Bella Hadid was recently snapped in the Square Pearl Statement Earrings – an apt choice for anyone looking to invest in some timeless studs. As seen in The White Lotus. Although gold often complements warm-toned skin and olive undertones, I found that – after getting a personal colour analysis – my cool undertones actually make me much more suited to platinum and silver jewellery. I'm hoping to nab the Savi Dome Mini Hoop Earrings in the sale. The right necklace can take your fit from basic to brilliant in a matter of seconds, which is why you should never sleep on a versatile chain or head-turning pendant necklace. Whether you like a nice lil stack or love to go all out with an eye-catching, gem-studded cocktail ring, Missoma is here to make sure your fingers get the love they deserve. A diamond tennis bracelet is a classic choice that also makes for a great gift. It's a luxe finishing touch for a wedding guest outfit, pretty summer dress, or cocktail look. If you're more of a bangle girlie, DW, there's options – the Savi Singature Hinged Bangle in Mixed Metal is top of my list. Follow Shadé on Instagram.

Bianca Censori Seemingly Launches New Business Amid Kanye West Drama
Bianca Censori has reportedly made a new business move in her career amid the drama surrounding her husband, , who now goes by Ye. As reported by the U.S. Sun, the Australian designer has launched her first-ever, self-named company, Bianca Censori Inc., in the United States. Amid the online controversies and speculation involving Kanye West, his wife, Bianca Censori, allegedly set up her own U.S. company. The U.S. Sun reported that the brand-new business by the designer has been named Bianca Censori Inc. and that the company was registered in the state of California last month. She has also registered her full name, Bianca Censori, as an Australian firm. The base of the firm is reportedly in Alphington, a prosperous suburb in Melbourne where Censori's parents reside at present. The designer has also allegedly listed herself as the new firm's CEO and secretary. As for the nature of the firm, there is a chance that it may be a beauty brand. Although Censori has not confirmed anything yet, Hussein Lalani has been listed as the chief financial officer of the firm. Lalani is notable for specializing in cosmetic treatments. He founded the brand, Zensa, which sells tattoo and piercing kits, DIY Brazilian wax kits, various nourishing creams, microblading, and other beauty procedures. It reportedly appears that Censori and West came across Lalani at the luxury West Hollywood condo. Last year, the couple used to live in that neighborhood in a $10,000-a-month two-bedroom apartment. The U.S. Sun reported that on Bianca Censori Inc.'s corporate statement of information, Lalani is listed with that particular address. Moreover, he has reportedly been touted as the Yeezy CFO. On the other hand, Bianca Censori used to work for her now-husband, Kanye West, as an architect at Yeezy in 2020. The two tied the knot two years later following the rapper's divorce from Kim Kardashian, with whom he shares four children.
