Kanye came out guns blazing at the comedian, calling him many names. This led to the banning of the Love Lockdown rapper from the photo-sharing app for 24 hours, IOL reports.

Briefly News previously reported that Trevor Noah was the latest target in rapper Kanye West's social media rants, but it backfired big time. The Daily Show host came under fire from the rapper after sharing his concerns for Kim Kardashian's safety.
Speaking on a segment of his show, the South African-born star warned that the ongoing Kanye West-Kim Kardashian-Pete Davidson mess could turn violent if it is not stopped soon enough. He even went as far as giving an example of his mother, who endured domestic violence and ended up being shot in the head by his stepfather.
In true Ye style, the rapper shared snaps of Trevor Noah and wrote:
"All in together now… Koon baya my lord koon baya Koon baya my lord Koon baya Oooo’ lord Koon baya [sic]."
