Facebook Bans Rapper Lil B Over 'Hate Speech'

Rapper Lil B, who is known for venting across social media platforms, was banned from Facebook Monday for violating the site’s hate speech guidelines.

A Facebook representative confirmed to Motherboard Tuesday that the site barred the California-based rapper for 30 days over hate speech policies.

Lil B, whose real name is Brandon Christopher McCartney, took to Twitter after he discovered his messages got him blocked, though it is unclear which post violated their conditions.

"Found out Facebook banned me for 30 days because I was talking about white people, got it," he wrote on Twitter.

Lil B has been actively discussing social issues on Facebook and Twitter that included race, sexuality, and activism. The rapper confirmed in an Oct. 4 tweet that the social networking site barred him.

"Everyone let the world no that lil b Facebook has been blocked and I can’t log in! Please let Facebook no I’m only spreading love!," Lil B wrote.

The 28-year-old recording artist took to Twitter Tuesday and asked his 1 million-plus followers to question Facebook as to why they blocked him.

"Can y’all ask Facebook if I can show you the 2 post they said are the reason I got suspended 30 days For? - Lil B," he wrote.

Hate speech isn’t on his agenda, according to the rapper.

"Lil B and hate don’t even go together, lil b and hate speech? Really? Lil b pushing a hate angenda? Il be silent love u - Lil B," the rapper wrote.

Throughout the day, Lil B is known for posting multiple tweets and Facebook messages at a time and has shared some controversial content in the past.

"I seriously want to be a black guy at a white power rally to support my fellow humans! They need to see I support white power to!" he posted on Facebook.

In another post, the rapper claimed he "loves the KKK and Nazis" because he "love[s] all humans."

This reportedly wasn’t the first time Facebook locked Lil B out of its platform. He claimed the site issued him a 30-day ban in 2014 for his posts.

"hey #BASED FAM FACEBOOK HAS BLOCKED ME FOR 30 DAYS FOR ME SPEAKING MY MIND WITH NO INTENT OF HATE OR SEPARATION, WILL KEEP U UPDATED - Lil B," the rapper tweeted.

Facebook immediately removes anything it considers hate speech from its site daily. Forms of hate speech include rhetoric that directly criticizes others based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, sex, gender, or gender identity, serious disabilities or diseases, according to the site’s guidelines on community standards.
