Kanye West has sought the help of his fans after making his surprise return to Instagram.
The controversial rap mogul returned to the social media platform on Sunday (March 5), almost three months after his account was suspended for posting a new song addressing his antisemitic controversy.
Ye was previously kicked off the ‘Gram three separate times in 2022 for violating the company’s policies, ranging from attacking Trevor Noah to making antisemitic comments.
The Yeezy founder’s first post back was a picture of a slender runway model wearing a gray slim-fitting outfit and bright red glasses.
The photo was taken from Balenciaga’s Winter 2023 fashion show in Paris and was posted on the brand’s Instagram page hours earlier.
“Look 44, Winter 23,” read the caption. “Round Shoulder Long Sleeve Turtleneck, Low-Waist Fitted Pants, Biker Boot, Speed Cat Sunglasses.”
In his own post, Kanye called on his 18 million followers for help with coming up with a clever caption, asking them to: “Write a caption…”
“Yeezy back !!!!!” YG responded in the comments section, while former collaborator GLC added: “Sakiya Red!”
U.K. rapper Stefflon Don asked Ye: “Where the hell you been at ?” before joking: “When its the time of the month but he still wanna taste.”
Considering Balenciaga was one of several companies that cut ties with Kanye following his antisemitic tirades and embrace of white supremacy last year, it’s unclear if his Instagram post came in support of the French fashion house or was intended to mock their latest collection.
The status of Ye’s relationship with Balenciaga’s creative director Demna Gvasalia (who designed the Winter 2023 collection) also remains unclear, but prior to their Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga partnership being terminated, Kanye praised Demna as “the greatest designer on the planet” during his ill-fated Drink Champs interview.
Yeezy’s Instagram return arrives during what’s been a relatively quiet year for the former billionaire, who has been keeping a low profile and largely staying off social media after damaging his career and reputation with a stream of antisemitic outbursts last year.
After rumors suggested he had gone “missing,” Ye quietly married Yeezy architect Bianca Censori at a private wedding ceremony in January, just weeks after finalizing his divorce from Kim Kardashian.
As one of the most famous people on the planet, however, laying low has proven to be a difficult task for Mr. West. This year he’s been involved in numerous altercations with paparazzi and camera-friendly fans, including one incident in late January that saw him snatch a woman’s phone while she was filming him inside her car and throw it down the street.
While it’s unlikely that the damage he caused to his career last year will be easily repaired, Kanye recently struck a deal with adidas to allow the German sportswear giant to release and promote the existing Yeezy product that was created under their previous deal.
With the unsold Yeezy x adidas products valued at approximately $500 million, the agreement would allow the athletic company to make up for the projected $1.3 billion loss in sales revenue it was facing after cutting ties with West last October.
The deal does not make any provisions for a continuation of their previously lucrative partnership, though.
ud think someone worth hundreds of millions could figure out how to host their own site instaed of depending on massa i know 7th graders tha can clone inst and similar sites its just a blog with a skin lmao
nobody gonna be there to see it though
I actually been saying this and I agree…
his actual fans n supporters will, insta twiter is more than half bots and trolls that dont actually spend money on his projects, 1000 real fans are worth 1 million fake ones
Ye should team up with Yelawolf, make a group call it “Ye’n’Ye”.
And both have racist tendencies.
There’s nothing racist about Yela, you stupid fuck
Time is ticking for his next social media outburst. The man just can’t sit back, create, and enjoy his wealth. His ego won’t let him.
Great! So does this mean we get Ye articles foe every post now again smh.. why is this news lpl
What spectacular thing has he done? He has made mediocre music since he started and managed to marry a self made billionaire obtaining him all the attention and contacts his ego requires to enable him to further his unimpressive legacy. Once the couple were established with multiple children and he flaunted his accomplishment of his long time publicly admitted goal of wooing Kim, he began insulting her for being the person she has been since day one after she made a family with him.. He was all about “Im so real I been though shit” but really he wasn’t shit. He rode the Kardashian train since he obtained the right to and continued to do so for his own benefit until his unrelenting narcissistic ignorance turned everyone off completely. Good luck selling those ugly fucking sneakers now asshole. My apologies, I don’t ever comment on things..its been a day.

And why the fuck is this dumb asshole going to meet with Putin??? As famously said in a movie. ” can’t we just kill him?”. Enough of this shit. He had made more than enough money off people and still been so fucking selfish. Go rap some shit or FUCK OFF because nobody cares about anything else you fucking do and they never will. Nothing he does matters to anyone but him or the people he pays. Fuck them all.
I thought Kanye caught religion and was working on his relationship with Christ. BAALenciaga is FAR from that.
