The rapper set up his official Instagram this weekend, picking up over 820,000 followers at the time of writing. However, he’s not following anyone just yet. Back in March, Yeezy shared his thoughts about joining the social media platform, tweeting: “I was thinking about getting an Instagram but only on one condition... No one can ask me or try to tell me what to Instagram... it’s my art... My tweets are a form of contemporary art only compromised by people trying to tell me what to tweet and not to tweet... Non artist trying to grab the paint brush”. West celebrated the moment by posting a screenshot from the 1990 sci-fi film Total Recall. Last week, he told Twitter that he had “got rid of my phone so I can have air to create”. Confusion arose when fans pointed out he had tweeted the fact from a Twitter app. Expand your creative community and connect with 15,000 creatives from around the world.READ MORE‘UK Ug’: How Gen Z Brits reinvented rap in 2025 How a century-old Danish brand became pop culture’s favourite sound systemDHLInside singer Sigrid’s intimate walks through nature with her fans ‘The unknown is exciting’: Why Gorillaz’ upcoming album is all about deathThe 20 best tracks of 2025, rankedThe 20 best albums of 2025, rankedThe renaissance of Zara Larsson: ‘I’m out of the Khia Asylum’The 10 best music videos of 2025, rankedListen to our shadowy Dazed Winter 2025 playlist7 of Chase Infiniti’s favourite K-pop tracksMeet The Deep, K-pop’s antihero ‘This is our Nirvana!’: Are Geese Gen Z’s first great rock band?
