Your support makes all the difference.Kanye West has deleted his Instagram account again after going on a posting spree on Valentine's Day.
After reactivating his account on 14 February, the rapper proceeded to post a myriad of iconic couples - both real and fictional - for around seven straight hours, with pictures including Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz; Iman and David Bowie; Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big. — apparently as a Valentine's gesture to his wife Kim Kardashian.
He also shared pictures of couples who are no longer together, such as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie; Kate Moss and Johnny Depp; and J-Lo and P Diddy.
Mick Jagger's son Lucas reportedly responded to the posts after West shared a picture of his father and former partner Bianca Jagger, who he was married to from 1971-1979.
"What the f**k," the 18-year-old - who is the son of Jagger and Brazilian model Luciana Gimenez - wrote, before tagging his father and writing: "@mickjagger u have new friends?"
All of the posts, as well as Kanye West's account, have since been deleted.
