Kanye West's account on X has been deactivated after a days-long rant on the platform that included vitriolic, anti-Semitic outbursts, reported AFP.
It was not immediately clear if the artist and entrepreneur, who legally changed his name to Ye, deactivated the account himself or if X took it down.
"I'm logging out of Twitter. I appreciate Elon for allowing me to vent. It has been very cathartic to use the world as a sounding board. It was like an Ayahuasca trip," he wrote in his final post, referring to the owner of X, Elon Musk.
"As a final goodbye, Ye concluded, "Love all of you who gave me your energy and attention. To we connect again [sic]. Good afternoon and goodnight."
It's a familiar pattern for Ye, 47, who is now in the headlines as often for his provocative, often hate-filled rants as he is for his music.
The rapper has been locked out of social media platforms in the past, notably when he was banned from X for nearly eight months for violating rules barring incitement to violence.
On Friday many of his posts centred on the Jewish community, featuring messages such as "I love Hitler" and "I'm a Nazi", as reported by Sky News. Additionally, Ye's most recent missives also included comments in support of music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who is imprisoned on sex trafficking charges. Following the posts, Ye's account had a "sensitive content warning" added to it.
Before leaving the platform, the rapper also referred to the stunt he pulled at the Grammys last week with his wife Bianca Censori, who appeared virtually nude on the red carpet ahead of the awards gala.
X did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
For years, Ye has spoken openly about his struggles with bipolar disorder. He recently said on The Download podcast that he in fact has an autism diagnosis.
