Kanye West 'suspended from Instagram' following latest string of outbursts

Kanye West has reportedly been banned from posting any Instagram posts for 24 hours following his latest outbursts on the social media site.

The rapper, 44, has fired several shots at estranged wife Kim Kardashian and her new beau Pete Davidson on the platform in recent weeks and took aim at the likes of Trevor Noah on Wednesday.

And it now seems that enough is enough for Meta, who owns the outlet.

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].

At the time of his writing, Kanye had 11 posts on his Instagram and six of them reference Pete or Kim. He has frequently deleted his posts after the outbursts, and currently only has eight showing.

Over the weekend, he also leaked messages between himself and Pete as the comedian tried to stop the Gold Digger hitmaker making unfounded claims against him.

After weeks of silence, it appears as though Pete had had enough and reports suggest that Kim was "glad" her new man had stood up against her ex.

Of course, Kanye is far from the first person to be blocked from Instagram for a period of time. In the wake of riots last year, former US president Donald Trump was also turfed from the platform.
