Fewer than three weeks after Twitter and Instagram suspended his accounts, Kanye "Ye" West returned to Instagram on Wednesday and claimed he "lost 2 billion dollars in one day."
In a series of Instagram posts, West addressed the ongoing fallout from his recent racist behavior and antisemitic remarks. The social media platform previously had blocked the rapper and removed content from his page that violated the company's policies.
In his first post since Instagram evidently lifted the suspension, West mocked the companies and brands that have parted ways with him this month by sharing a fake news article with the headline, "Ye has reportedly cut ties with Kanye West." The fabricated story was originally posted by the parody account N— News Network.
