Kanye West goes through the sharing – for now, anyway.

After a special week that included a pro-Trump rumor and annoying about abolishing the constitutional amendment that prohibits slavery, the rapper apparently shut down his Twitter and Instagram accounts.

USA TODAY solicited comments from the West representative.

It's not the first time that West, 41, who has also announced that he's changing his name to become "Ye", has chosen to no longer use social media. Previously, he had abandoned Twitter for much of the year, but returned in April to take revenge.

The break begins as fans wait for their new album "Yandhi", which was scheduled for release this past weekend, when the star appeared on "Saturday Night Live", dressed as a bottle sung by Perrier. Last Monday, his wife, Kim Kardashian, announced that the album would be postponed until November 23.

West made waves by finishing his appearance at the first appearance of the season, September 29, of "SNL". He donned a red cap "Make America Great Again" and embarked on a raging war for President Donald Trump's defense. The impromptu speech was captured by Chris Rock, who posted him on social media.

"Black man in America, supposed to keep what you feel inside right now," West said softly. "All of these Democrats, you know, it's as if they had planned to take their fathers home and promote welfare." Anyone know? It's a democratic plan. "

In another video released on Twitter by hip-hop producer Mike Dean, West hinted that the producers of the series did not want him to wear the MAGA hat on stage. "They intimidated me behind the scenes." They said: "Do not go out with that hat."

West pointed out that whites asked him, "How could you love Trump, he is racist"? Well, uh, if racism worried me, I would have left America a long time ago.

"We have to dialogue, not a diatribe," said West, claiming that 90% of the media, television industry, rappers and musicians are liberal. "It's easy to give the impression that it's so, so, so one-sided."

SNL cast member, Pete Davidson, responded on Saturday's show, denying that West had been told to leave the hat behind the scenes. "He wore it all week, no one told him not to wear it," Davidson said. "I would have liked to intimidate her, I would have liked to suggest that it might upset people, like your wife, or every black person of all time."

Celebrities, such as Chris Evans and Whoopi Goldberg, crushed Mr. West when he resumed the discussion the next day, tweeting a photo of himself wearing his red baseball cap and suggesting abolishing the 13th amendment, which prohibits slavery.

"It's good and America is back," he wrote. "We will no longer be outsourcing to other countries, we will build factories here in America, we will create jobs, we will provide jobs for all those who are released from prison while we abolish the 13th Amendment. sent with love "

He went on to say: "The 13th Amendment is a disguised slavery," he said, "which means it never ended."
