Kanye West's unpredictable social media behavior has left many wondering what's next for the rapper, as he recently deactivated his Instagram account yet again.
As reported by The Root, the Chicago-based artist surprised his Twitter followers by sharing a screenshot of his Instagram deactivation process. When users tried to access his account, they were met with messages such as "User not found" or "Sorry, this page isn't available."
It remains uncertain whether this marks the end of West's presence on Instagram, but his social media history has been tumultuous, to say the least.
The "Gold Digger" rapper is known for his controversial posts on platforms like Twitter and Instagram, which have landed him in hot water and resulted in suspensions on multiple occasions. Following his split from ex-wife Kim Kardashian, West's online behavior escalated, targeting Kardashian's then-boyfriend Pete Davidson, as well as other figures such as "The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah and Adidas executives.
West's dispute with Adidas, with whom he partnered to create his Yeezy line, ultimately ended their longstanding collaboration. West expressed his discontent in an Instagram post, stating, "The fact [Adidas] felt they could color my shoes and name them without my approval is really wild."
After severing ties with his former allies, West's posts took a more contentious turn, promoting antisemitic views. His Twitter account became notorious for announcing his intention to go "death con 3 on Jewish people," as reports indicate.
However, recent reports suggest that West has since apologized for his antisemitic comments, claiming he "likes Jewish people again" after watching "21 Jump Street" and praising Jonah Hill's performance.
At this time, it's unclear why West chose to remove his Instagram account or if he intends to deactivate other accounts like Twitter. The rapper's social media activity has undoubtedly kept fans and critics guessing, and it remains to be seen what the next chapter holds for Kanye West's online presence.
