X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, has reinstated the account of rapper and designer Kanye West about eight months after he was suspended.

As of Sunday afternoon, Mr. West’s account was not suspended. However, the rapper—known as Ye—has not posted anything since he was banned in December after he posted a stylized swastika.
