Kanye West redesigns McDonald's packaging after his Instagram ban

Kanye West has returned to Instagram following a ban over hate speech - with the announcement that he is redesigning McDonald's packaging.

The US rap star, who has now legally changed his name to Ye, was suspended from the social media platform for 24 hours back in March for comments targeted at his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend Pete Davidson. But now he's back with a curious new venture, working with the fast food giant.

West said he had partnered with Muji industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa to "reimagine" the chain's food packaging. He posted an image of a sleek box emblazoned with the classic McDonald's logo, alongside the caption: "Ye teams up with legendary Muji industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa to reimagine McDonald’s packaging."
