Over the last few days, the rapper, 45, has shared a slew of scathing, disapproving Instagram posts. But last night, he instead took to Twitter to call out Zuckerberg, 38, for allegedly banning him from the photo-sharing app. “Look at this Mark,” Ye wrote alongside an old photo featuring West and Zuckerberg holding microphones at a get-together. “How you gone kick me off Instagram,” he wrote in part. It is currently unclear how long the Donda artist has been put in a “time out” from the social media site. His account is still public, but no new posts have been made since he tweeted the allegations. According to NBC, “Instagram deleted content from Ye’s Instagram page and placed a restriction on the account after the company said that the rapper violated its rules and guidelines.” Meta, the parent company of Instagram, did not specify what content was removed from the rapper’s account or what content violated their rules, but the decision after Ye made a now-deleted post on Friday that some have called anti-Semitic, as per the report. This isn’t the first time his account has been shut down. The artist was temporarily suspended from the app earlier this year after breaking Instagram’s bullying and harassment policies. However, the recent restrictions from the app came after the Yeezy designer found himself under fire again after his “White Lives Matter” shirts caused uproar during Paris Fashion Week. Vogue editor Gabrielle Karefa-Johnson took to Instagram to call out Ye for the controversial messaging; the “Bound 2” singer began taking aim at Karefa-Johnson and others who came to her defense, including Hailey Bieber and Gigi Hadid. He even took aim at ex-wife Kim Kardashian once again, prompting a social media spat with her sister, Khloé Kardashian. West later called the entire Kardashian family “liars” in a lengthy, all-caps post. The situation has since snowballed into a full-on social media rampage from West, who recently sat down for an interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, where he doubled down on the “White Lives Matter” shirts. “I thought the shirt was a funny shirt; I thought the idea of me wearing it was funny,” West stated in the first part of the interview, which originally aired on Oct. 6. He also got a text about the situation from his “educated ex-Black Panther” dad, who also found it comical. “Just a Black man stating the obvious,” he recalled his father texting him. During the second segment of the interview, which aired on Oct. 7, West opened up to Carlson about people calling him “crazy” due to all the drama, telling the conservative news anchor, “It hurts my feelings.” “It hurts my feelings that people can ask, ‘Hey, are you okay?’” he added, per People. Parade contacted Instagram for comment but could not reach an official for a response. More Pop Culture:
