On the first Monday of October, the 3rd, rapper Kanye West appeared at Paris Fashion Week in a shirt with the inscription “White Lives Matter”, provoking different reactions from close people and fans.
As early as Friday (7), West used Instagram to post a private conversation with fellow rapper Puff Diddy, probably linked to the shirt above.
“This is not a game. I will use you as an example to show the Jews that you said to call me that that no one can threaten or influence me. I told you this was war. Now I will look for a profession for you .”
Such a post was not only removed by Instagram, according to sources, but also caused Kanye West to be banned. The disgruntled rapper took to Twitter to attack Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Instagram’s parent company Meta.
“Look at this Mark. How did you kick me off Instagram. you were mine negro.”
Welcome back to Twitter, my friend!

West continued his attacks on Jews via Twitter. Referring to “death con 3,” a term used to indicate levels of national security threat, Kanye points out that he will go against Jews.
‘I’m a little sleepy tonight, but when I wake up, I’m going against the Jewish people. The funny thing is that I can’t actually be anti-Semitic because black people are also Jewish. You played with me and tried to reject anyone who is against your agenda.”
As a result, Kanye West – also known as Ye – was banned from Twitter and this Monday (17) the rapper bought the social network Parler. According to the note, it is a “non-cancellable platform for freedom of expression”.

Amid this turmoil, a letter from JP Morgan emerged last Wednesday (12). In it, the bank claims that it would close Kanye West’s account and that the rapper had until November 21 to transfer his money.
“I deposited $140 million into JP Morgan and they treated me like shit. So if JP Morgan Chase treats me like that, how do they treat the rest of you?”

Ye then claims that he “has not broken any law” and that this acts as a “social contract”.
Already this Sunday (16), the rapper appeared in a cap with the name Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. So it’s possible that Kanye West is considering turning his $140 million into BTC to get around censorship, just like he did with his purchase of Parler.
JP Morgan and Kanye West’s case is very reminiscent of PayPal’s new policy, in which the company promises to impose fines – up to US$2,500 (R$13,000) – and even freeze customer accounts that promote fake news, abusive speeches and others. . articles.
Finally, many believe that this censorship will get even worse with the advent of central bank digital currency, also known as the acronym CBDC. Therefore, Bitcoin seems to gain even more value for those who don’t want to lose money because of their lines.
