Kanye West Banned From Instagram

American rapper Kanye West's Instagram account has been temporarily restricted for 30 days after violating platform policies

Kanye will not be able to post, comment or send direct messages during this period, and content has been removed from his account, BA Media reported.

It comes as West continues to face a backlash over comments deemed anti-Semitic on the social networking site.

He was sacked last week from the Los Angeles office of the running Skechers brand, and was sacked by Adidas in a move that cost him his billionaire status.

West used the alternative messaging platform Parler, which he is trying to buy, to announce that Instagram is punishing him again.
