KANYE West has been suspended from Instagram for 24 hours after he lashed out at Trevor Noah with a racial slur.
West’s outburst was triggered when the Daily Show host addressed the rapper’s treatment of his former wife Kim Kardashian.
What did Kanye West say to Trevor Noah on Instagram?
The spat seems to have started when Noah, 38, used a segment on his show to look at West’s treatment of Kardashian and her current boyfriend Pete Davidson.
"You may not feel sorry for Kim because she's rich and famous," Noah said in the segment. "But what she's going through is terrifying to watch and shines a spotlight on what so many women go through when they choose to leave."
West – who is also known as Ye – responded in an Instagram post and repeatedly referred to Noah as a “k***”.

The offensive post has since been removed.
Before it was taken down, Noah had responded saying he admired West as an artist and was concerned for him and his family.
“There are few artists who have had more of an impact on me than you Ye. You took samples and turned them into symphonies,” Noah wrote.
“You took your pain and through the wire turned it into performance perfection. I thought differently about how I spend my money because of you, I learned to protect my child-like creativity from grown thoughts because of you, s**t I still smile every time I put on my seatbelt because of you.”

He added: “You’re an indelible part of my life Ye. Which is why it breaks my heart to see you like this. I don’t care if you support Trump and I don’t care if you roast Pete. I do however care when I see you on a path that’s dangerously close to peril and pain.”
“Oh and as for K***… clearly some people graduate but we still stupid,” Noah added. “Don’t ever forget, the biggest trick racists ever played on black people was teaching us to strip each other of our blackness whenever we disagree. Tricking us into dividing ourselves up into splinters so that we would never unite into a powerful rod.”
Has Kanye West been banned on Instagram?
Meta, the parent company of Instagram, slapped a 24-hour suspension on West for the outburst, saying it violated its policies on hate speech, harassment and bullying.
The temporary ban came after a marathon of threats towards his ex, her new beau Pete Davidson and other stars.
The 44-year-old won't be able to post, comment, or send direct messages.
When will Kanye West return to Instagram?
The suspension lasts just 24-hours.
A spokesperson for the parent company of Instagram (Meta is also known as Facebook) continued that they'll "take additional steps if further violations happen."
West and Davidson have been trading insults for months on social media.
The latest flare-up began on March 16, 2022, when West took to Instagram to share a fan comment about Kim, 41, also posting an attack on Trevor Noah as well.
The father-of-four posted a screenshot of a follower's comment reading: "The way Skete used Kim's marital status to address Kanye was a sneak diss to her & she didn't even catch it."
Kanye captioned his post, seemingly slamming the comedian's past drug use: "Im really concerned that SKETE will get my kids mom hooked on drugs He’s in rehab every 2 months."
The fan comment referred to a leaked harsh text exchange between Pete and Kanye earlier this week.
The latest chapter in their months-long personal war began with the Saturday Night Live star apparently reaching out to the rapper.
"Yo it's Skeet," Pete texted, referencing the nickname Kanye gave him. "Can you please take a second to calm down?
"It's 8am in the morning. It doesn't gotta be like this."
Pete then mentioned the TV star and wrote: "Kim is literally the best mother I've ever met.
He pointed out: "I've decided I'm not gonna let you treat us this way anymore and I'm done being quiet. Grow the f**k up."
