Kanye West’s latest career venture lasts just seven minutes
- Kanye West was banned from Twitch just seven minutes into his first stream.
- During the stream, West wore a black jacket and Prada sunglasses, made antisemitic and homophobic remarks, performed a Nazi salute, and claimed Elon Musk gave him "free passes" for discriminatory posts.
- His Twitch page was quickly replaced with a ban message for violating community guidelines.
- This incident follows a pattern of offensive behavior, including a video with white supremacist Nick Fuentes and antisemitic posts on X (formerly Twitter).
- Actor David Schwimmer previously urged Elon Musk to ban West from X for his hate speech.
