Kanye West has been suspended from Instagram

nme.com:

Kanye West has been temporarily barred from accessing Instagram, with a Meta representative claiming the rapper’s recent posts violated policies on hate speech, bullying and harassment.Per TMZ, the suspension comes after West posted an image of the Google search page for Trevor Noah – who commented on West’s treatment of ex-wife Kim Kardashian on Tuesday’s (March 15) episode of The Daily Show – alongside a caption containing racial slurs.

That post has since been deleted, though at the time of writing, eight posts remain visible on West’s Instagram profile.Per the terms of his suspension, West is currently unable to post, comment, send messages or otherwise interact with his Instagram profile for 24 hours, although the Meta spokesperson is said to have noted that “additional steps” will be taken if West makes any further violations.NME has contacted representatives for West for comment.Responding to the offending post (per The Wrap), Noah commented: “Clearly some people graduate but we still stupid.

Don’t ever forget, the biggest trick racists ever played on black people was teaching us to strip each other of our blackness whenever we disagree.

Tricking us into dividing ourselves up into splinters so that we would never unite into a powerful rod.”Four of the eight posts still active on West’s Instagram are aimed at Kardashian’s current partner, Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson (who West refers to as “Skete”).
