Kanye West did not like how Trevor Noah reframed the tabloid controversy between himself, Kim Kardashian, and her new boyfriend Pete Davidson.
On The Daily Show, Trevor called Ye out for harassing his ex-wife and asked the world to give the story – which he argued had transcended tiresome tabloid trash and marketing stunts into a more significant discussion on an issue that impacts a lot more people – the proper attention.
“Two things can be true. Kim likes publicity. Kim is also being harassed,” Noah said, mixing in a number of other hard-hitting truth bombs about the situation.

Upon hearing about his antics being referred to as “belligerent” Kanye decided to do what he does best: unleash an attack on Instagram against whoever crosses him.
In an Instagram post that has since been deleted, Ye published a Wiki screenshot of Trevor along with a caption modifying the lyrics of ‘Kumbaya’ to include a variation of an old South African racial slur:
Replace the ‘k’ with a ‘c’ and yeah, there it is.
As a result of the malicious post, Instagram sent Kanye to the naughty corner to think on what he had done, reported TMZ:
A spokesperson for Meta tells us Kanye’s recent posts violated Instagram’s policies on hate speech, harassment and bullying.
As a result, we’re told his account has been suspended for 24 hours — where he won’t be able to post, comment, send DM’s, among other things.
The spokesperson tells us they’ll take additional steps if further violations happen.
Kanye’s Instagram has gone dark, but there are traces of his misbehaviour, particularly his various attacks pitted against D.L. Hughley and mostly Davidson, reported COMPLEX:
In his other uploads, Ye referenced Davidson multiple times and highlighted an old joke from a Netflix standup special, saying Pete “gotta stay away from my children.”
He also wrote that he’s “really concerned that SKETE will get my kids mom hooked on drugs He’s in rehab every 2 months.”

If Kanye continues along this path, he could end up booted off social media for good, much like what happened to Donald Trump following the attack on the US Capitol on January 6 last year.
We are still with you Trevor, Kumbaya:
