Has Kanye West been 'kicked off' Twitter?

Kanye West's friend claims the rapper has been temporarily "kicked off" Twitter.

The 'All Day' hitmaker recently shared a video of himself urinating on a Grammy Award, and has posted a string of posts about his battle with record labels Universal and Sony. After the rapper's long Twitter rant, former NBA star Rick Fox has claimed his friend has been hit by a ban from the platform.

The retired sportsman said that Kanye wants everyone to know that he was kicked off of Twitter for 12 hours, which means that Kanye will likely be back on the social media site soon.

Rick's post came seven hours after Kanye's last Tweet on the platform, in which he branded record contracts a "trap".
