“I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda,” tweeted West.&nbsp;

West was forced to take to Twitter after his Instagram account was restricted for similar reasons.

As reported by WION,&nbsp;Ye had shared screenshots of his text conversation with rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs, appearing to accuse him of being controlled by Jewish people. In the texts, Ye said that he would use Combs as an "example to show the Jewish people" that&nbsp;no one can threaten or influence him.

Kanye West's Twitter account locked over anti-Semitic post a day after return to platform

Several reports had claimed in March that Kanye West is the richest Black American.

But fact-checkers have found that not to be the case.

Social media and entertainment sites had picked up reports that the rapper is the richest Black person in the US with an estimated net worth of $6 billion.&nbsp;

The 43-year-old rapper's net worth reportedly increased significantly thanks to his Yeezy sneaker, his brand's tie-up with Adidas and GAP.

But a fact checking by the website dubawa.org made a breakdown of his earnings, and it did not accumulate to $6 billion.

The site put his earnings from&nbsp;Yeezy at $1.5 billion,&nbsp;cash and other assets at $160 million,&nbsp;music catalogue at $90 million, and share in his ex Kim Kardashian's&nbsp;shapewear company Skims at $64 million. That doesn't quite add up to $6 bn.

An earlier version of this article incorrectly mentioned that Kanye West is the Richest Black Man in the United States. However, a fact-check on the claim by dubawa.org&nbsp; <a href="https://dubawa.org/kanye-west-is-not-the-richest-black-man-in-america">https://dubawa.org/kanye-west-is-not-the-richest-black-man-in-america</a> &nbsp;has proven it to be untrue.&nbsp;
