But Kanye finally went too far in his slams. As a result, Instagram restricted his content. And West returned to Twitter. Get all the details, including how Elon Musk welcomed the rapper, below.
Instagram Restricts Kanye West After Offensive Posts
Kanye West just paid the price for his flood of offensive posts. And Instagram took notice. As a result, the company deleted some of Kanye’s content, per Variety.
A company spokesman explained that West’s content had violated the social media platform’s guidelines. But the representative also emphasized that Kanye didn’t get singled out. Restricting accounts that repeatedly violate Instagram’s policies represents standard policy.
However, Instagram did not reveal which specific posts resulted in the restriction. But Jewish advocacy groups such as the American Jewish Committee criticized one now-deleted post as antisemitic. And Kanye has gone through the Instagram restrictions cycle before. In March, Instagram suspended West for 24 hours. And the company also deleted some of his content for bullying, harassment, and hate speech.

As a result of his return to West, the rapper unveiled another shocker. And he hinted at his decision to run for a 2024 political campaign. Kanye has explored running for a political office previously. And at that time, he also chose Twitter for his social media political posts.
West’s followers have watched him make increasingly controversial moves this week. For instance, the fashion designer staged a surprise Yeezy fashion show in Paris. And his shirt with the label White Lives Matter sparked an immediate backlash. But Kanye has repeatedly defended his use of that phrase. For example, West discussed his belief that his fashion statement didn’t deserve a backlash on Fox News’ show with Tucker Carlson.
And Twitter reacted accordingly. For instance, some defended Kanye’s controversial remarks and antics. And one fan even termed West a genius. “I see genius in Kanye,” gushed the rapper’s admirer. “Usually no one, ‘gets” the brilliant ones. They throw stones at them,” tweeted the fan. “But deep down they’re wicked brilliant. Welcome back!”
