Meta told Forbes that West, who legally changed his name to Ye, violated the company's rules and policies and that previous content from his account has been taken down.

The announcement comes a day after West claimed that he would use Sean "Diddy" Combs as an example to show the Jewish people that they are not allowed to control him.

In an interview with Tucker Carlson one night earlier, West claimed that the 2020 Abraham Acords peace negotiations between Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain were signed in order to make money for the family of the son-in-law of President Donald Trump.

The caption on the old photo was, "How you gone kick me off the photo sharing site."
