Kanye West has been prompted to prove to his millions of followers that his Instagram has not been hacked after he shared a series of bizarre ranting posts on Sunday evening.
The 44-year-old rapper took aim at Pete Davidson, who is believed to be dating his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, which caused some to believe that he might have lost control of his account on the social media platform.
However, in typical West fashion, he shared some strange pictures of himself – some with his head completely covered – holding up a message confirming that it’s still him in charge of the phone.

If it wasn’t so classically Kanye, you might be forgiven for thinking that it was some sort of strange hostage situation.
The note he was holding in the pictures read: "My account is not hacked. 2 13 22."
He also captioned the post: "My account is not hacked. I will be at Sunday service at noon and will me [sic] taking North and Saint to the Superbowl shortly after.

"@chethinks I'll double whatever they paying you just so you don't have to look at that pawn ever again. Big love."
That’s a message for Michael Che, who works on Saturday Night Live with Pete Davidson, but it doesn’t seem like he’ll be taken up on the offer.
Che responded: "Sorry Ye, but I would never betray my friends... for anything less than triple salary.
"That’s right, $90k per year!"

"Full medical. Full dental. Four weeks vacay. Corner office. Plus, a pair of Red Octobers. Size 12.
“And you gotta make some beats for my band The Slap Butts. And you gotta tell me what you’re gonna wear to work the night before so we can look like twins.
"You do that for me, and I’ll Rambo that whole building."

This comes after a number of posts in which Kanye slammed Kim’s new boyfriend, even going as far as to call him a ‘d***head’.
West also shared a DM that is allegedly from Pete in which he said he would never get between the rapper and his kids.
The – surprisingly polite – DM ended: "I do hope that one day I can meet them and we can all be friends."
That seems unlikely, given Kanye’s series of posts.

He responded: “NO YOU WILL NEVER MEET MY CHILDREN.”
Either way, we haven’t heard the last of this one. You can never predict where Kanye is going to go next.
