A Meta spokesperson told Page Six that the rapper’s recent posts violated the company’s policies on hate speech and bullying and harassment.

The spokesperson also noted that if the 44-year-old continues to violate the policies, the company will take additional steps.

After repeatedly taking aim at ex-wife Kardashian, 41, and her boyfriend, Davidson, over the last several weeks, Kanye most recently lobbed a racial slur at Noah, 38, on Wednesday.

Kanye vs Noah

“All in together now… K–n baya my lord k–n baya K–n baya my lord K–n baya Oooo’ lord K–n baya,” West captioned a screenshot from a Google search result describing Noah as a South African comedian.

Kanye was mocking Noah by using the offensive "k–n" slur to replace the original lyrics in Kumbaya.

His offensive posts toward Noah came in response to the comedian discussing his dynamic with Kardashian and Davidson on The Daily Show.

“What Kardashian is going through is terrifying to watch, and it shines a spotlight on what so many women go through when they choose to leave,” Noah said on his Comedy Central series.

Noah compared Kanye's situation with Kardashian to his own experience witnessing abuse as a child. He mentioned people thought his mother, Patricia, was overreacting.
