Facebook has deleted the accounts of rapper Wiley after he shared abusive posts aimed at his Jewish critics and others.

His comments came after an anti-Semitic tirade on Twitter. He has also been banned from that network.

The 91Èȱ¬ found Facebook posts under his real name Richard Kylea Cowie.

He specifically named Jewish celebrities - including Lord Alan Sugar, comedian David Baddiel and 91Èȱ¬ presenter Emma Barnett.

A Facebook spokesperson said Wiley's account was removed for "repeated violations" of its policies. After the 91Èȱ¬ contacted the social network to ask about the recent posts, it initially suspended, then deleted the grime artist's Facebook and Instagram profiles. The 91Èȱ¬ has contacted the musician for comment.

The posts aimed abuse at Jewish celebrities who had expressed their dismay about Wiley's tweets. Several of his posts mentioned "Golders Green" - a London neighbourhood with a large Jewish community.

Wiley wrote: "Listen Golders Green ring my sister and let's meet asap"; "David Baddiel come and talk to my face"; and "Who called the police? Are you from Golders Green? I am coming to sit down with you... Labyrinth you could come along as you have forgotten what colour you are." East London rapper Labrinth posted a sharp rebuke of Wiley on Twitter over the weekend.

A number of comments on Wiley's Facebook posts also included anti-Semitic abuse.

The latest comments were shared on Wiley's personal Facebook profile, and not his official fan page, which has also been taken down. Although they had relatively little engagement - less than 100 likes and comments each - they were visible to the public.

Several of Wiley's tweets were taken down and his Twitter account was suspended - initially a temporary measure - after he went on an anti-Semitic tirade on Friday. One tweet read: "I don't care about Hitler, I care about black people", and compared the Jewish community to the Ku Klux Klan. Most of the posts spread anti-Semitic tropes.

A number of prominent users called for a 48-hour boycott of Twitter which ran from Monday, saying that the social network did not take action quickly enough. Twitter banned the rapper on Wednesday.
