Kanye West is said to be facing the consequences due to his recent online behavior.
According to TMZ and Rolling Stone, the rapper, 44, has been temporarily locked out of his Instagram account and will be unable to post, comment, or send messages.
According to a spokesperson for Meta, the parent company of Instagram, West's recent posts violated the platform's policies on hate speech, harassment, and bullying, causing the 24-hour ban.
According to the outlet, West's most recent instance of abusive behavior was a racial slur allegedly left on Daily Show host Trevor Noah's Instagram page.
West's online attack on Noah comes after Noah spoke out on the Donda artist's split from Kim Kardashian as well as how the rapper has treated her during their divorce on Tuesday night.
A Meta spokesperson also informed TMZ that the company is prepared to take further action if there are any more violations in the future.
Source has contacted Meta and is waiting for a response. West's spokesperson declined to comment.
West's one-time friend and the opponent in the 2020 presidential race, Donald Trump, was previously banned by Meta, who is also the owner of Facebook.
West's most recent social media activity includes two music videos for his new song "Eazy," depicting a likeness of Kardashian's boyfriend, Pete Davidson, being abused and tortured.
According to a source previously told the source, the first video left Kardashian, 41, "furious."
The rapper posted a photo to Instagram earlier this week of his 8-year-old daughter North's backpack, adorned with three pins: one of an alien, one of Kardashian's face, and one of West's face.
"When I was 'allowed' to see my daughter last week, this was on her backpack," West captioned the photo. "This is why I fight so hard for my family; I am hardwired to defend my family at all costs. Don't worry, Northy God is still alive, as the priest of my home says."
Kardashian questioned West to stop airing "this narrative" in a since-deleted comment on the post, sharing that he saw his children this morning.
"Please stop this story; you were just here picking up the kids for school this morning," she wrote.
After 7 years of marriage, Kardashian filed for divorce from West in February 2021. She and also the Donda rapper has four children: North and Chicago, both four years old, and Saint, six, and Psalm, twenty-two.
On March 11, more than a week after the SKIMS mogul was declared legally single amid her divorce from West, the mother of four made her relationship with Pete Davidson Instagram official. When Kardashian made her hosting debut on Saturday Night Live in October 2021, she and Davidson made headlines after sharing a kiss during a sketch.
