According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kanye West’s Instagram account has been banned due to an alleged anti-Semitic post that violated the platform’s rules.
A representative for Meta confirmed to THR that the company has removed content from the rapper’s @kanyewest brand Instagram account. The representative said that although the account is still visible, a limitation has been imposed on it. The company may impose limits on users in accordance with Meta policy following repeated violations, which may temporarily prevent the user from sharing content, leaving comments or sending direct messages.
The decision came after you posted a now-deleted post on Friday that a group claims to be anti-Semitic. Meta has not disclosed what content was removed from the account and what content violated their guidelines.
Ye included a screenshot of a text conversation he claimed to have had with Sean “Diddy” Combs in the tweet, along with the statement “Jesus is Jewish.” According to NBC News, Ye’s post appeared to show him claiming that Combs was under Jewish control, a reference to a long-running anti-Semitic conspiracy theory.
The article followed Ye’s appearance on Fox News Thursday with Tucker Carlson, in which Ye repeated similar anti-Semitic conspiracies. Ye claimed in the interview that Jewish businessman Jared Kushner was brokering deals for Israel in an effort to profit, according to Entertainment Weekly.

THR says this isn’t the first time the celeb has come under fire for her use of social media. His Instagram account was suspended for 24 hours in March after he tweeted a slur directed at Trevor Noah, host of The Daily Show.
In February, West issued an apology for since-deleted Instagram posts in which he and Kim Kardashian’s estranged husband exchanged comments about then-boyfriend Pete Davidson. Sharing screen shots, according to West, “was disturbing and proved to harass Kim,” he wrote at the time.
