Instagram suspends Kanye West for hate speech after inflammatory Trevor Noah post

Instagram suspended Kanye West’s account Wednesday for a day after the rapper violated some of the social media platform’s policies.

A Meta spokesperson confirmed to the Los Angeles Times that Instagram restricted the “Donda” artist from posting, commenting and sending direct messages, among other actions, on the app for 24 hours.

The company — which also deleted content from West’s page that it said fell under the categories of hate speech, bullying and harassment — vowed to take further action against West should he continue to break its rules.
