The rapper's account was suspended after he tweeted an image of a swastika following his most recent antisemitic rant.

Celebrities are once again speaking out against Kanye West after he publicly praised Adolf Hitler in a recent interview and doubled down on his hostile antisemitic beliefs.

The 45-year-old rapper spoke with "InfoWars" conspiracy broadcaster Alex Jones on Thursday, Dec. 1, during which West blatantly admitted, "I like Hitler."

"Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler," he also stated, while making unfounded claims the German dictator "invented the highways" and "the very microphone that [he uses] as a musician," per Page Six.

Later on Thursday, the Yeezy designer tweeted a swastika inside the Star of David to his Twitter account, prompting Elon Musk—who recently welcomed him back to platform—to suspended West's account.

"I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence," Musk wrote via Twitter. "Account will be suspended."
