Popular rapper, Kanye West has been suspended from Instagram for 24 hours after attacking his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, Pete Davidson and Trevor Noah on the social media platform. Kanye was accused of violating the company’s policies on hate speech and bullying and harassment, will be unable to post, comment or send DMs for 24 hours.
He racially abused Trevor Noah after the host of “The Daily Show” called him out for “harassing” Kim Kardashian amid their divorce by mocking with the offensive “k–n” slur to replace the original lyrics in “Kumbaya.”
Instagram added that if West continue to violate the policies, the company will take additional steps.
WOW.
