Double scandal for Kanye West, which will feed new questions about the stability and mental health of the musician who suffers from bipolar disorder.
This weekend the rapper was pinned by Instagram and Twitter moderators for posting anti-Semitic comments and innuendo on both platforms.
The conflict with the tech giants began on Instagram following the publication by Kanye West on his account of an exchange with his counterpart Diddy.
Many Internet users and associations, including the American Jewish Committee, have complained about the anti-Semitic overtones of the message.

In accordance with its charter, Instagram deleted the post and placed temporary restrictions on Kanye West's account.
They temporarily prevent him from publishing, commenting on the platform and using his messaging service.
Unhappy, Kanye West took to Twitter to express his ire.
He published an old photo on Saturday where we see him singing karaoke with Mark Zuckerberg, the boss of Facebook and Instagram.
“
How are you going to kick me off Instagram?
We were friends?”,
caption the rapper.
Elon Musk's provocative 'welcome'
This exit was hailed, mischievously, by Elon Musk, the libertarian billionaire who relaunched his takeover bid for Twitter.
The Tesla and Space X entrepreneur greeted Kanye West with "a welcome my friend."
Except that in the night, Kanye West split a second disturbing and conspiratorial status.
"I'm a little tired tonight but when I wake up I'm playing 'death con 3' against THE JEWS," the tweet read.
"Funny thing is, I can't be anti-Semitic because black people are actually Jews."
Before launching
to an indistinct you "
You have manipulated me and are trying to oust anyone who opposes your plans".
After an hour, Twitter deleted the text, replacing it with the words
"this tweet violates the network's charter"
.
The social network, on the other hand, left the pithy neighboring publication in which Kanye West threw out the air:
“Who do you think invented the cancel culture?”.
Accustomed to controversy, Kanye West sparked controversy a few days ago, during Fashion Week in Paris.
On the occasion of the parade of his brand Yeezy, he wore a t-shirt on which one could read "White Lives Matter", a slogan echoing the formula "Black Lives Matter" from the United States and embodying the fight against anti-black racism.
