Instagram Suspends Kanye West for Bullying, Harassing Pete Davidson, Ex Kim Kardashian, Trevor Noah, and Others
Kanye West was banned on Instagram Wednesday after he posted a series of attacks on his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, and her boyfriend, Pete Davidson.
Kanye has also gone in hard on D.L. Hughley, Pete's writing partner, and a racist attack on Trevor Noah, who weighed in on the rapper's feud in the latest episode of "The Daily Show."
A spokesperson for Meta told TMZ that Kanye's recent posts violated Instagram's hate speech, bullying, and harassment policies. Meta is the company that owns Instagram.
Because of this, Daily Mail reported that Kanye, who has legally changed his name to Ye, will be temporarily suspended from Instagram for at least 24 hours. Although he could not post, comment, or send direct messages, his account remains visible, and other users can still comment on his posts.
The spokesperson added that they would take additional steps if further violations occurred. On Wednesday, Kanye told the world via Instagram that he worries that Pete will get Kim "hooked on drugs."
"Im really concerned that SKETE will get my kids mom hooked on drugs He's in rehab every 2 months," his post reads.
The rapper also posted another attack on Pete by posting a photo of a news headline saying that the SNL comedian "enrages" an audience with jokes about having sex with a baby.
"Yet another reason why SKETE gotta stay away from my children Oh and nobody noticed that he ain't show up to SNL Because Mr. I can help you with meds had a mental breakdown after we ran him off the internet SKETE you not built for this I already blacked the Super Bowl out on you Apologize to your family for being in your family," Kanye wrote in the caption.
Kanye also blasted Trevor for issuing a warning during his show that the online fight between the rapper and the reality star former could get violent and was "terrifying to watch."
The talk show host added that Kanye, over time, "has become more and more belligerent in how he tries to get Kim back."
In response, Kanye posted images of Trevor on his Instagram and said: "All in together now... K**n baya my lord k**n baya." The racist post appears to have been deleted.
Kanye has also posted a picture of "Saturday Night Live" writer Dave Sirus and wrote in the caption: "Come on Dave please help write some more culturally irrelevant jokes for SKETE You don't have to have talent these days you just need a Hillary Clinton tattoo."
The rapper also posted an image of D.L. in fatigues and said: "This grown ass man picked this outfit out himself Is he influential or under the influence???"
Pete Davidson Hits Back at Kanye West After the Rapper Attacks Kim Kardashian on Instagram
Kanye West's social media criticisms came just three days after text messages of Pete Davidson allegedly sent to the rapper were leaked online.
Pete taunted Kanye and defended Kim Kardashian amid custody drama in the leaked text messages that revealed a heated exchange between the two.
Pete hit back at Kanye following a series of attacks the rapper made against him and his girlfriend. Kanye West has been taking shots at Pete for months.
Last month, the rapper included a disturbing depiction of Pete being kidnapped and buried alive in the music video for his song "Eazy."
In the message thread, Pete called Kim "the best mother I've ever met." before telling Kanye that he "decided im not gonna let you treat us this way anymore and I'm done being quiet. Grow the f--k up."
Kanye then replied: "Oh you using profanity now. Where are you right now?" Pete sarcastically answered: "In bed with your wife." The "Saturday Night Live" star also sent a shirtless snap of himself in bed.
The comedian also urged the rapper to meet him in person to discuss their differences instead of airing their dirty laundry in public. Pete also told Kanye that he could help him with his mental health issues.
The screenshots of Pete's text messages were shared by Dave Sirus on Instagram on Sunday.
Pete Davidson Gets 'Kim Kardashian' Tattoo
Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson are still going strong amid Kanye West drama. In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, the reality star shared that her boyfriend has a few tattoos dedicated to her, E! News reported.
However, Kim clarified that the "KIM" tribute was not a tattoo but a "branding."
"He wanted to do something that was really different. First tattoo he got, I was like, 'Oh, so cute, thank you! Oh my god!' Second, I'm like, 'Oh, that's so cute.' But that's what tattoo people do, right? They get tattoos of what's going on in their life," the reality star said.
Kim Kardashian also revealed that her favorite tattoo on Pete Davidson's body in honor of her was the one that says: "My girl is a lawyer." The reality star has also addressed why she recently decided to go Instagram official with Pete.
"I guess it's not official until you post... I have the cutest pictures of us... But then I'm like, 'Don't be so desperate, don't be posting so much, just give a glimpse'," Kim noted.
