Kanye West's latest attempt to connect with fans online ended in predictable chaos — and record-breaking speed.
On Friday, April 25, West launched his first-ever Twitch livestream under the handle Yeezy_Streams. Yet before he could even amass 220 followers, his account was swiftly suspended — just seven minutes after going live.
The Stream That Sparked Instant Suspension
Fans who followed the link West posted on X (formerly Twitter) got a firsthand glimpse of what many are calling a disturbing and offensive broadcast.
During his short time on air, West:
-
Used multiple slurs
-
Delivered antisemitic remarks
-
Mocked the children of Jay-Z and Beyoncé
-
Wore offensive imagery
-
Even performed a Nazi salute while shouting “Heil Hitler”
Given the severity of the content, Twitch wasted no time in removing West’s stream, citing violations of the platform’s Community Guidelines and Terms of Service.
Kanye’s Growing List of Digital Bans
This Twitch ban is just the latest in a long string of controversies for the 47-year-old rapper.
In recent weeks alone, Kanye has:
-
Appeared in interviews wearing a KKK hood
-
Continued spreading antisemitic rhetoric
-
Lost multiple brand deals and sponsorships
This isn’t even his first Twitch-related scandal this month.
On April 6, 2025, rapper Digital Nas faced a temporary Twitch ban after featuring Kanye in a controversial livestream.
Following that, West hinted at creating his own platform, Yeezy Streaming, although there’s been no official launch or clear plan.
Fallout and Reaction
Clips from West’s banned stream are already circulating online — heavily censored but still showing enough to spark outrage.
Meanwhile, visiting his former Twitch page now leads users to a simple notice:
“This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.”
Twitch has yet to issue an official statement on whether the suspension will become permanent, but given the nature of West’s actions, a lifetime ban seems almost inevitable.
West even took time during the seven-minute stream to attack his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, adding another layer of personal drama to the debacle.
What's Next for Kanye?
Despite his repeated public downfalls, Kanye continues to attempt new ventures — even as major brands and platforms steadily distance themselves.
Whether he succeeds in launching Yeezy Streaming or finds himself increasingly isolated from mainstream digital spaces remains to be seen.
But one thing is clear: Kanye West’s actions are burning bridges faster than even his biggest scandals of the past.
🔥👀 What do you think — is there still a way back for Kanye, or has he finally crossed the final line?
