Belle Delphine claims YouTube banned her for ‘sexual content’
Internet star Belle Delphine has taken to social media after her YouTube account was temporarily terminated.
The British cosplay model and gamer told her 1.1 million followers on Twitter that she was banned from YouTube for supposedly violating the platform's sexual content policy.
“Hey @TeamYouTube why was my YouTube account terminated with no warning/no strikes for 'sexual content' when you allow and promote songs like 'WAP?,'" Belle wrote in a tweet.
She re-tweeted a post from her fellow YouTuber Keemstar that seemed to compare Belle’s content with music videos that featured Nicki Minaj and other women twerking in bikinis.
