Kanye West gets banned 7 minutes after joining Twitch, says Elon Musk gave him ‘free passes' for…
Kanye West, who is now known as Ye, was booted out from the streaming platform Twitch just minutes after creating his own account, a report has said. The account, under the name "Yeezy_Stream," was taken offline a mere seven minutes after going live when the controversial artist reportedly launched into a hateful tirade targeting Jewish and LGBTQ+ community. Despite numerous prior appearances on Twitch streams alongside prominent figures such as Kai Cenat, Adin Ross, and Amouranth, Ye's own foray into the platform proved to be short-lived. Ye launches offensive against Jewish people, LGBTQ+ community As per The Daily Beast, following the creation of his "Yeezy_Stream" account, the rapper was promptly banned for violating Twitch's community guidelines by disseminating hateful rhetoric. Ye's inaugural Twitch stream was marred by an almost immediate barrage of offensive statements directed at the Jewish community and the LGBTQ+ community. The publication detailed that Ye allegedly used slurs and performed a Nazi salute while uttering 'Heil Hitler.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas In Dubai | Search Ads View Deals Undo Within approximately seven minutes of going live, Ye's stream was abruptly replaced by a message from Twitch indicating a violation of the platform's Community Guidelines or Terms of Service, the report adeed. "This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch's Community Guidelines or Terms of Service,' a message stated. Ye claims Elon Musk 'allowed' him to express unfiltered remarks on X Adding to the controversy, Ye reportedly claimed during the brief stream that Elon Musk had granted him 'free passes' on the social media platform X to express his unfiltered thoughts, which have previously included a series of disparaging remarks about his former wife, Kim Kardashian. Dexterto reported that during his fleeting moments on the platform, Ye managed to garner around 3,000 followers and over 1,000 concurrent viewers. The duration of the ban remains unclear. Kanye West has been banned from social media platforms Ye has a history of being suspended from various social media networks due to his speech and rhetoric. Ye was previously banned from Twitter (now X) in October 2022 for declaring his intent to go 'death con 3 on Jewish people.' He faced further suspension from the same platform just two months later for posting an image that combined the Star of David with a swastika. He has also been banned from Facebook. More recently, earlier this month, Ye appeared for an interview with DJ Akademiks while wearing an all-black hood and outfit that drew comparisons to Ku Klux Klan (KKK) attire.

It took Kanye West a total of 7 minutes to get banned from Twitch
Kanye West's first-ever Twitch livestream ended in swift suspension—just seven minutes after it began. On Friday, 25 April, the rapper shared a link on X (formerly Twitter) directing fans to his newly created Twitch account under the name Yeezy_Streams. The channel had not even reached 220 followers before the 47-year-old was blacklisted by the platform. Given West's recent behaviour, the abrupt ban shocked few. In recent weeks alone, he has shown up to an interview wearing a KKK hood, promoted antisemitic views, and publicly mocked the children of fellow music icons Jay-Z and Beyoncé. This isn't West's first brush with Twitch-related controversy either. Earlier this month, on 6 April 2025, rapper Digital Nas had his Twitch account temporarily banned after featuring West on a livestream where they previewed a controversial track from West's upcoming WW3 album. Following that incident, West announced intentions to create his own platform, dubbed 'Yeezy Streaming'. However, it remains unclear whether this would be used primarily for music releases or as a general livestreaming hub. In the case of Friday's stream, it was once again West's on-air behaviour that prompted immediate consequences. While Twitch has not yet released a formal statement on the exact reason for the ban, clips from the livestream began circulating online, painting a grim picture. During his brief time on air, West used multiple slurs, delivered a series of antisemitic remarks, and even performed a Nazi salute while shouting, 'Heil Hitler.' The offensive display left little ambiguity surrounding Twitch's decision to take action and remove his channel. Now, visiting West's yeezy_stream account brings up a standard message from Twitch stating, 'This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch's Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.' Whether the suspension will be made permanent remains uncertain, though given the severity of the stream's content, a permanent ban seems likely. West also used the short broadcast to aim a few disparaging remarks at his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, further adding to the offensive nature of the stream. His actions continue a long pattern of inflammatory behaviour dating back to 2022, including multiple pro-Hitler statements and ongoing antisemitic rhetoric. These behaviours have not only tarnished West's public image but also led to the collapse of several brand partnerships and sponsorships. High-profile companies have steadily distanced themselves from the rapper as his conduct continues to escalate. Screenshots and heavily censored clips from the Twitch stream are still circulating online, showing snippets of the disturbing content without reproducing the most explicit moments. As fallout continues from the incident, questions remain about whether other platforms will follow Twitch's lead in removing West's digital presence.
