This is The Guardian.
Today, what happened to Kanye West?
A warning before we start, this episode does contain anti-Semitic and offensive language.
He was once hailed as an American genius, a prime example of black excellence.
He revolutionized rap, became a hip-hop billionaire, all the while influencing the world of fashion, art, design.
Kanye West had a grip on the culture like few before him.
Until Kanye West has posted on a variety of topics, including President Trump, whom he calls his brother.
He's been locked out of his Twitter account now, the platform suspending him after an anti-Semitic tweet.
That tweet said, quote, when I wake up, I'm going death con three on Jewish people.
This is what I'm trying to tell you.
Jesus Christ, Hitler.
Yay.
We don't have to bow to this shit.
OK, it's 60 million.
He hadn't played a show in the UK for over a decade.
And he was booked to headline three nights this summer at Wireless Festival in London.
But then the government intervened.
