Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, is restricted from Instagram following a seemingly antisemitic post he shared Friday.

He shared an alleged interaction with fellow rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs in a screenshot. He captioned the photo, "Jesus is Jew." Instagram has since removed the post from its platform, with a Meta spokesperson reportedly confirming that his account was restricted for an undetermined amount of time. The spokesperson said the restriction came because the rapper violated rules and guidelines but did not specify which ones.

"N**** send me a address. Let's stop playing these internet games," a supposed text from "Puff" reads. "And don't feel threatened. You'll be fine. Just love."

"This ain't a game," Ye's response reads. "Ima [sic] use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me. I told you this was war. Now gone get you some business."

Ye also deleted all Instagram posts previous to three days ago, instead posting a slew of more screenshots since then. The last he posted was Friday evening.

This is Ye's second temporary suspension this year after violating the platform's guidelines in March. Ye was issued a 24-hour suspension relating to a post that included racial slurs while describing television personality Trevor Noah.
