Kanye West suspended from Instagram after slur against Trevor Noah

West used racial slur after Noah criticised his behaviour in the wake of the former's divorce from Kim Kardashian

Kanye West has been suspended from Instagram for 24 hours, after he used a racial slur to describe TV presenter Trevor Noah.

A spokesperson for Instagram's parent company Meta told TMZ and HuffPost that the suspension was due to West violating the company's policy on hate speech, bullying and harassment.

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 ... 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.
