The rapper – now known as Ye – has been largely absent from X and Instagram over the last year and has been banned from the former platform three times in the past for offensive remarks. Recent days, however, have seen a flurry of activity.

In among posts thanking the Grammys for nominating his song ‘Carnival’ and praising The Weeknd’s song ‘Niagara Falls’, he took a moment to apologise to the recently defeated Democratic candidate for president.

In a riposte to a now-deleted explicit comment about Harris, Ye wrote on Saturday (February 1): “Kamala seems like a very nice human I just wanna say sorry to her kids”.

He also tweeted in praise of Donald Trump, writing: “Trumps back in office. Ye’s back a billionaire. The world might just be ok”. A follow-up tweet read: “I risked my life to wear a red hat then he turned it black,” presumably referring to the trademark red MAGA hat.
