Page Six has confirmed that Kanye West has been suspended from Instagram for 24 hours after going after Kim Kardashian, Pete Davidson and Trevor Noah on the social media platform.
A spokesperson from Meta mentioned that the recent posts from the rapper violates the company’s policies on hate speech, harassment and bullying. He will be unable to post, comment or send DMs for 24 hours.
The spokesperson also mentioned that if West, 44, continues to violate the policies, the company will take additional steps.
After repeatedly taking aim at ex-wife Kardashian, 41, and her boyfriend, Davidson, 28, over the last several weeks, West most recently lobbed a racial slur at Noah, 38, on Wednesday.
“All in together now… K–n baya my lord k–n baya K–n baya my lord K–n baya Oooo’ lord K–n baya,” West captioned a screenshot from a Google search result describing Noah as a “South African comedian.”
West was mocking Noah by using the offensive “k–n” slur to replace the original lyrics in “Kumbaya.”
West’s offensive posts toward Noah came in response to the comedian discussing his dynamic with Kardashian and Davidson on “The Daily Show.”
“What [Kardashian is] going through is terrifying to watch, and it shines a spotlight on what so many women go through when they choose to leave,” Noah said on his Comedy Central series.
Noah compared West’s situation with Kardashian to his own experience witnessing abuse as a child. He mentioned people thought his mother, Patricia, was “overreacting” before his stepfather shot her in the head. (Patricia survived the attempted murder.)
“As a society, we have to ask ourselves questions. Do we wish to stand by and watch a car crash when we thought we saw it coming?” Noah asked on the show.
