Following months of inactivity, Kanye West returned to social media on Sunday, March 5, 2023, to share a look from Balenciaga’s Winter collection. In the wake of their respective controversies, both the Praise God singer and the fashion house received backlash last year. In the caption of the post, there was a strange generic statement: Write a caption… In the last year, Kanye has been banned from his Instagram account several times for posting offensive content, including harassing his former wife Kim Kardashian and ranting about Jews. Internet users scrambled to express their delight after hearing that the hip-hop singer was returning to the photo-sharing site.
Social media users shared their reactions to Kanye’s Instagram post after it spread on the internet. Despite his return, some fans expressed their skepticism about the singer’s new music. Their enjoyment was greatly enhanced when another controversy ensued. The Donda artist usually keeps a poker face, but he flashed a smile and laughed as he walked to dinner with his new wife Bianca Censori on Tuesday, headed to the Carasau Cafe in Culver City, California. With all-black outfits, the couple matched in cargo pants and combat boots, while Censori wore high-neck black tops over tights and heeled knee-high boots.

An Online Frenzy Erupts After Kanye West Returns To Instagram
After months of inactivity, Kanye West returned to Instagram on Sunday, March 5, 2023, with a post featuring Balenciaga’s Winter collection. In the wake of their respective controversies, both the Praise God singer and fashion house faced backlash last year. In the post, an unclear generic statement was included: Write a caption. As a result of his harassing his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, as well as his anti-Jewish rants, Kanye was locked out of his Instagram account several times last year. Several internet users expressed their amusement overhearing that the hip-hop singer had returned to the photo-sharing service. Thank God you returned, one user said, expressing his excitement at Ye’s return. It was so boring around here. Social media users shared their reactions to Kanye West’s Instagram post after it spread online. There were many fans who were pleased with the singer’s return, but there were also some who expressed doubts.

Their entertainment came from the thought that it would stir up another controversy. One user sarcastically remarked, Can’t wait for him to say Joseph Stalin is his new idol, anticipating that the Runaway singer would make another bigoted claim in the near future. The Burger Joint allegedly used Kanye West 2004 album, The College Dropout, for advertising purposes without Ye’s permission, but an Australian Federal Judge dismissed the case on March 4, 2023. Moreover, the restaurant used misleading branding to associate itself with the rapper, according to the lawsuit. In the Herald Sun, it was reported that the singer had refused to respond and had “no genuine interest in the proceedings. In January, Kanye West’s legal team attempted to cut ties with him using a public platform after numerous unsuccessful attempts to contact him. It is unclear, however, whether he still has a legal team.
