Kanye West has returned to his newly reinstated Instagram as fallout from his antisemitic remarks continues.
The rapper shared a string of posts overnight on Thursday, name-dropping Endeavor CEO Ari Emmanuel and 50 Cent, among others.
He also reflected on the news that he “lost $2bn in one day” amid the outrage over his hateful comments, writing: “The money is not who I am. The people is who I am.”
The new posts came as his Essentials Playlist appeared to have been removed from Apple Music and his unaccredited K-8 school, Donda Academy, was reported to have been closed with immediate effect.
On Wednesday, Sketchers said in a statement that the rapper had been “escorted” out of the company headquarters after he arrived “unannounced.”
The rapper, who has been involved in several controversies over the years, has been dropped by both Adidas and Balenciaga over the “hateful and dangerous” comments.
A number of fellow celebrities have also condemned his behaviour.
