Kanye West's Instagram account was suspended Wednesday after the rapper leveled a series of posts targeting his ex-wife's new boyfriend, Pete Davidson, as well as the "Daily Show" host Trevor Noah.
A Meta spokesperson confirmed to Insider that West's account had been restricted from posting, commenting and sending DM's for 24 hours, after TMZ was the first outlet to report the news.
The Meta representative also said the company deleted content from West's account that violated the platform's policies on hate speech and bullying and harassment.
On Wednesday morning, West made a series of posts criticizing his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, her new boyfriend, Pete Davidson, and several other comedians.
West said he was "concerned" that Davidson would get Kardashian "hooked on drugs" because "he is in rehab every 2 months." The comedian in the past has been open about his addiction and mental health struggles.
West went on to mock Davidson's Hilary Clinton tattoo, posting "Tramp Stamp Pete the Tramp...here's the stamp."
West then referred to Trevor Noah in a post using a racial slur after the comedian criticized West's actions toward Kardashian amid their divorce during a "Daily Show" segment earlier this week.
During the segment, Noah encouraged his audience to watch the dispute between West, Kardashian, and Davidson closely, suggesting the rapper was harassing his ex-wife and comparing the situation to his own experience of being raised in an abusive household.
The post in which West called Noah a racial slur has since been deleted from his account.
The Meta spokesperson said the company often takes additional steps against accounts that repeatedly break the platform's rule by putting extra restrictions against them and would do so for West if he continued to violate their policies.
A representative for West did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
