Kanye West‘s Instagram account has been restricted again following the rapper’s latest reported violation of the platform’s policies. Instagram’s parent company, Meta, confirmed the restriction in a statement to Complex on Monday (Oct. 31).
While the spokesperson did not highlight specific posts that led to the latest lock on West’s account, the Meta rep told the publication that IG had “deleted content” from the rapper’s Instagram feed due to the unspecified posts violating the platform’s standards.
“We deleted content from @kanyewest for violating our policies and placed a restriction on the account,” a Meta spokesperson told Complex. “We may place restrictions on accounts that repeatedly break our rules, for example, we may temporarily restrict them from posting, commenting, or sending DMs.”
This latest locking of Ye’s account comes after Instagram and Twitter both placed temporary restrictions on his social media accounts after he posted antisemitic comments earlier in October.
A spokesperson for Meta has not returned Billboard‘s request for comment, and Billboard has not been able to reach a spokesperson for West.
Complex added that Ye appeared to address this new restriction on the right-leaning Parler social media site he recently said he plans to purchase.
According to Complex, a screenshot purported to be of that Parler post shared on Twitter found West reportedly writing, “Got kicked off Instagram for 30 days for telling Russel Simmons that I was going to make ‘you know who’ have better contracts and business practices. Jesus is king.”
West had just returned to Instagram days ago after the social media platform first restricted his account.
