“Just found out I got what is called a ‘strike’ from IG becuz I posted a picture of a joint haha [facepalm emoji] how many pictures have I posted smoking since Ive been on IG? Lame. Its weed. Its 2024. Make it make sense.”
According to IG’s safe sharing guidelines: “If you post content that goes against Instagram Community Guidelines, we’ll remove it and may then apply a strike to your Instagram account. Whether we apply a strike depends on the severity of the content, the context in which it was shared and when it was posted.”

The site does not detail what happens following the first strike, or a number of strikes one can receive before their account is at risk of being suspended.

Kid Cudi has always been active on social media, using it to share personal updates, argue with fans and rivals, and often, to give his peers their flowers.
In June, he acted on his belief that there needs to be more “love and support” shown in Hip Hop — and immediately set an example by heaping praise on one of the game’s top producers.

The rapper and actor took to X to share his thoughts on the current state of rap, writing: “We need more love and support for one another in hip hop man. I gotta do better too.”
He continued: “I try to show homies work sometime but I gotta really celebrate what my homies do or even people I dont know I think are dope. To spread the world, get cool shit out there I think u need to.”
The Cleveland native then gave props to Hit-Boy, Young Thug signee Strick and Jaden Smith.
“On that note if yall sleepin and aint seein the awesome shit Hit Boy doin yall better get w it,” he added.
