Kanye West breaks cover after Instagram ban to take son Saint to basketball game

Kanye West has been spotted for the first time since being suspended from Instagram.

The rapper, 44, broke cover to attend an NBA game with six-year-old son Saint as he put his ongoing feud with ex Kim Kardashian to the back of his mind.

Looking fairly relaxed and happy despite his recent Instagram rants, Kanye wore black leather jacket and boots paired with jeans and a faded blue hoodie.

Next to him, Saint looked like his little mini-me as he wore a matching ensemble, appearing a little shy as he looked away from the cameras, but was smiling when he chatted to his dad.

It comes after weeks of Kanye taking aim at Kim and her new beau Pete Davidson on the social media platform, and more recently lashing out at Trevor Noah on Wednesday.

Meta, who owns Instagram, appears to have had enough and banned him from posting for 24 hours on Wednesday.

A spokesperson for the company told TMZ that the Gold Digger singer had violated Instagram's policies on hate speech, harassment and bullying with his latest outbursts.

As a result, he has reportedly been suspended from his account for 24 hours, during which time he won't be able to post, comment or send direct messages.

His latest attacks saw him repeatedly throw racial slurs towards Trevor Noah.

Kanye, who split from Kim, 41, in February last year has sent a barrage of abuse to Kim's new man in recent weeks too and has labelled him "Skete".

On Wednesday, among his other lashings out, he outrageously claimed he feared SNL comedian Pete could lead to the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star getting "hooked on drugs".

Ye and Kim share kids North, Saint, Psalm and Chicago, and the singer wrote on Instagram : "Im really concerned that SKETE [his nickname for Pete] will get my kids mom hooked on drugs He’s in rehab every 2 months."

He wrote that alongside a screenshot of a fan comment, which read: "The way Skete used Kim's marital status too address Kanye was a sneak diss towards her & she didn't even catch it" [sic].
