But then Ye suddenly went silent. As a result of that long silence, some fans assumed that a new music release would bring the rapper back. And others theorized that Kim might spark Kanye to renew his attacks by publicizing her romance with Pete even more. But instead, West just surprised everyone by returning to share his (wait for it) gig with fast food giant McDonald’s! Get the details below.
Kanye West – Breaks Instagram Silence For McDonald’s!
Next time you crave McDonald’s, take a close look at the packaging. Because Kanye West might have influenced the wrapper of that breakfast wrap. And the chance to influence McDonald’s proved enough to lure the rapper back to Instagram. But West kept his return surprisingly simple. Posting a photo on Instagram of a McDonald’s package, the rapper hinted at a collaboration with the fast food giant in his caption.
“Ye teams up with industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa to reimagine McDonald’s packaging,” wrote Kanye in his caption. And fans along with friends instantly went wild. Topping the list of comments? Ye’s girlfriend Chaney Jones, who responded, “🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.”
But fans couldn’t decide whether to feel more thrilled at Kanye’s return to Instagram or his future influence on McDonald’s! For instance, one wrote, “Back like you never left 🔥.” And another chimed in about the packaging pic, “Classic already.”

Kanye West – Meets McDonald’s To Re-Invent Fast Food Packaging
Before posting the new design for McDonald’s, Kanye dropped a clue in an Instagram Story. “Next week it’s the fries,” teased West. But that comment also follows Ye’s song “Gold Digger,” pointed out TMZ. “He got that ambition, baby, look at his eyes. This week he moppin’ floors, next week it’s the fries,” raps Kanye in the song.
And the McDonald’s business venture also explains how Ye ended up in Tokyo this month. He may have met with the industrial designer to begin redesigning the fast food packaging. However, the visit also offered a break from the spotlight in the United States. Instagram infamously suspended West in the wake of his slams against Pete Davidson, Kim Kardashian, and Trevor Noah.
