Rick Fox Says That Kanye West Was Put In A Temporary Twitter Time-Out
Rick Fox, a man of many talents. Basketball. Looking handsome. Extra special guest judge of drag queen competition shows. And now, apparently, part-time publicist to the stars! Well, stars-slash-Presidential candidates-slash-Twitter nuisances. Kanye West has had the type of career that would make one fully understand why a publicist would quit, but that’s not to say Kanye’s publicist did quit. All we know is that Kanye’s friend Rick Fox has kindly stepped in to play publicist for his friend Kanye, and he’s here to let us all know that Twitter had grounded Kanye for 12 hours.
While his wife Kim Kardashian took a 24-hour break from Facebook and Instagram yesterday to protest the hate spread on those platforms, Kanye was also absent from his favorite social media platform, Twitter. It wasn’t by choice, but it did kind of have to do with spreading hate, specifically, the hate Kanye has for his contracts with Sony and Universal. On Monday and Tuesday, Kanye unleashed a whole lot of hate directed at Sony and Universal for not releasing him from his contracts. He swore he wouldn’t release any new music until he was a free man, which of course came with a misguided comparison to slavery.
Later on, and this is where Twitter probably took umbrage, Kanye started tweeting out screen grabs of every page of his contracts (which ended up being over 100 pages worth). Kanye also tweeted THAT video that appears to show him pissing on one of his Grammy awards.
TRUST ME I WONT STOP UNTIL ALL IS FAIR TRUST ME FROM NAT YE AKA BABY PUTIN

Kanye said he wasn’t going to stop, but he probably should have at least paused a moment before deciding to tweet out the phone number of Forbes’ chief content officer Randall Lane. Posting people’s private information is a big time no-no, and Twitter made Kanye take down the tweet. And clearly Twitter didn’t have a bottle of Aspirin large enough to deal with the perpetual headache that is Twitter user @kanyewest, because they suspended him from tweeting for 12 hours yesterday. As reported by Rick Fox. And also, Kanye’s right-wing political friend Candace Owens.
My friend @kanyewest wants you all to know that he was kicked off of @Twitter for 12 hours

Kanye wanted me to let everyone know that his Twitter account has been locked out by the Twitter Gods. #FreeKanye

Rick, please – the next time Kanye goes on a Twitter spree, zip over to his house, flash your dazzling smile to distract him and take his phone away. At the very least, hide it under a couch cushion.
We all know 12 hours isn’t really that long, and so Kanye returned to Twitter just as soon as his time-out was up.
WE’VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE … LOOK HOW ALL THE ARTIST STOOD UP PRAISE GOD MY BROTHERS ITS TIME FOR FREEDOM KEEP PRAYING

He’s also posted the following throwback, which makes me think he spent his Twitter hiatus cleaning out the attic:

Usually when Kanye is this active on Twitter, it makes a lot of us bystanders wonder who is going to step in and replace Kanye’s phone with a Pop-Tart for his own good. Twitter decided to just go ahead and do the hard work for everyone, even if it was temporary. But now that he’s back, it’s that time we all look at Kim like, “Okay so you’re going to help this man to make sure he doesn’t dox any more business contacts?“. A source tells Us Weekly that Kim is absolutely helping her husband during this time…by doing what she always does, which is to let her unconventional genius husband just clickety-clack away on his iPhone keyboard.
“Kim is holding onto her marriage with Kanye and knows that he is bipolar and struggling with his mental health and wants to be there for him and help,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “She is continuing to support him and does her best to understand him and where he is coming from. She knows he is unconventional and has always known that.”
That’s what the source says, but what’s the truth? You can’t tell me Kim wasn’t at least a little bit upset when she saw the kind of stuff Kanye was tweeting yesterday. I mean, giving away pee-pee footage for free?!?
