Kanye West, 44, won’t be on Instagram for 24 hours. The rapper was suspended from the social media platform per their parent company Meta on Wednesday, March 16 after a post that targeted Trevor Noah.

The post quoted “Kumbaya, My Lord,” but changed lyrics to include a racial slur aimed at the South African host. Mark Zuckerberg‘s Meta (formerly known as Facebook) confirmed the suspension to TMZ, citing a violation of their policies pertaining to hate speech, harassment and bullying — adding that they will take further steps if the violations continue. HollywoodLife has also reached out for a statement.

The suspension means that Kanye will not be able to do anything he’s normally be able to do on Instagram, which includes posting, liking, commenting or even sending DMs to other people.

Notably, it’s rare for Meta to make this move — but they have in the past with Donald Trump. The targeted post came after Trevor discussed Kimye’s contentious split on The Daily Show. “What’s weird about the situation is Kanye West has told us that he struggles with his mental health,” he said on his daily Comedy Central series. “So I get it, you wanna have art as therapy.
