Why The Kardashian-Jenners & Travis Scott Unfollowed Kanye West
As the headlines have spiraled around The Kardashians star Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's divorce, the Kardashian-Jenner family members have now unfollowed the rapper and fashion mogul on Instagram. The move isn't surprising as Kanye's moved from his traditional outlet for self-expression, Twitter, to Instagram. However, some have labeled Kanye's posts as more than self-expression. Kanye has abundant support, but some onlookers argue Kanye is displaying textbook abusive behavior. If one thing is true, it's that Kanye has had many ups and downs since the divorce filing.
Rai King discussed her history with abuse and how Kanye displays some of the tell-tale signs in an article by The North Star. Kanye himself apologized for harassing Kim by posting private text messages between them. He shared,«I know sharing screenshots was jarring and came off as harassing Kim,» in a since-deleted post. He continued,«I take accountability. I'm still learning in real-time. I don't have all the answers. To be a good leader is to be a good listener.» Kanye also said he understood that using all-caps text made it feel like he was yelling at his reader and aimed to adjust his messaging, only to return to the all caps styling a couple of posts later. This wasn't the first time Kanye backtracked on a post. Some have gone so far as to compare Kanye's ongoing media posts this week to former President Donald Trump's monopolization of media narratives.
