Elon Musk cancels Kanye West's X account

Elon Musk has curtailed Kanye West's X account after the controversial rapper's three-day hate-filled rant.

Amid the drama, the tech billionaire, who owns the social media platform, unfollowed West and said his account was now classified as NSFW (not safe for work).

"Given what he has posted, his account is now classified as NSFW. You should not be seeing that anymore," Mr Musk wrote in response to a follower who complained that Ye was posting "literal porn on the timeline".

A few hours later, West announced he was "logging off" and thanked Mr Musk for letting him vent. The account then disappeared.

West has shocked followers with a series of vile posts in which he called himself a "racist" and a "Nazi" who "loves Hitler", and claimed he had "dominion" over his wife, Bianca Censori.

West posted a final series of rants about musicians Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar during the Super Bowl. He finished off that post by writing, "As I tweet in code words and kiss Elon's ass and beg him to not cancel my account."

He had already described his disturbing rant as being "very cathartic", saying he had been using the world as a "sounding board".
