Ye Locked Out of His Instagram for 24 Hours Due to Harassing Posts
American rapper, Kanye West, legally known as Ye is being temporarily locked out of his Instagram account and won’t be able to post, comment or send messages for 24 hours.
A spokesperson for Meta, the parent company for Instagram, revealed that West’s recent posts violated the platform’s policies on hate speech, harassment and bullying, resulting in the 24-hour ban.
Recently, West allegedly left a racial slur in Daily Show host Trevor Noah’s IG page. This was following a lengthy comment from Noah on the Donda artist’s split from Kim Kardashian. And how the rapper has treated her amid their divorce.
According to the spokesperson for Meta, the company is prepared to take additional steps. Which is if further violations occur in the future.
Earlier this week, ye shared a photo on Instagram of his daughter North’s backpack. The backpack is adorned with three pins: one of an alien, one of Kardashian’s face and another of West’s face. He captioned it,
“This was on my daughters back pack when I was ‘allowed’ to see her last week. This is why I go so hard for my family. I am wired to protect my family at all cost As the priest of my home. Don’t worry Northy God is still alive.” (sic)
In a now-deleted comment on the post, Kardashian asked West to stop airing “this narrative,” sharing that he saw his kids this morning. She wrote at the time, “Please stop this narrative, you were just here this morning picking up the kids for school,” she wrote.
Kardashian filed for divorce from West in February 2021 after seven years of marriage. The couple share four children: daughters North and Chicago and sons Saint, and Psalm.
