• Kanye West's X account has been deactivated, though it remains unclear whether this was his decision or the platform's action.
• The rapper, also known as Ye, recently posted antisemitic comments on X, stating he would 'never' apologize for his remarks about Jewish people.
• David Schwimmer, actor and activist, publicly criticized West's comments and urged X CEO Elon Musk to permanently ban him from all social media platforms.
