Ye (formerly Kanye West) claimed Mark Zuckerberg disabled his Instagram account, posting a photo of them together on Twitter with the caption questioning why he was removed from the platform. A Meta spokesperson confirmed to Insider that content from Ye's account was restricted due to policy violations.
The controversy followed Ye's "White Lives Matter" shirts debut at Paris Fashion Week, which Vogue fashion editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson criticized as "pure violence" and dangerous for suggesting "white supremacy is in danger of extinction." Ye responded by mocking Karefa-Johnson's appearance in now-deleted Instagram posts.
Several celebrities defended Karefa-Johnson, including Gigi Hadid, who called Ye "a bully and a joke," and Hailey Bieber, who praised the editor as "the most kind" and "most talented." Ye subsequently labeled Hadid a "privileged Karen" and addressed Hailey through her husband, Justin Bieber.
The controversy expanded when Khloe Kardashian asked Ye to keep their family out of the "White Lives Matter" debate. Additionally, the American Jewish Committee accused Ye of antisemitism regarding comments about Jared Kushner and Sean "Diddy" Combs made on Instagram and during his interview with Tucker Carlson on Fox News.
At the time of reporting, Ye's Instagram feed had not been updated for 14 hours.
