ALBAWABA - Controversial American rapper and record producer Kanye West has officially made his return to Musk's X (formerly known as Twitter) after his account was deactivated following a spree of pro-Nazi comments, Hitler remarks, and countless Adult videos. 

Just recently, the rapper took the internet by storm after landing a Super Bowl ad but used the platform to promote his Yeezy online store, which had one item displayed, a $20 t-shirt with a Swastika printed on it.

Now known as  "Ye," has been under fire across social media since then. As Ye marks his return to X, users reported encountering a plethora of issues upon visiting his account including a low follower count, and several missing posts.

Several other users also pointed out having difficulties in following Kanye's X account. One user added, "Why can't I follow him?" To which someone replied, "Yeah it keeps unfollowing him for me too." 

Another humorously added, "He's trying to see how fast he can gain all his followers back starting from 0."

By the time of reporting, the account's follower count has been fluctuating as it gains and loses followers at a rapid rate. 

Users speculated that several posts were removed to suggest a fresh start for Kanye West's social media presence, though the damage to his reputation had already been done, following his anti-Semitic rants and the recent controversies surrounding his wife's outfit at the 2025 Grammys.
