Kanye West returns to Instagram after two year absence with new music

Kanye West has sent the internet into meltdown after returning to Instagram after two years.

The rapper returned by sharing a series of images of himself wearing gold chains and dark clothing.

The 44-year-old then shared a snippet of his latest track and music video starring athlete Sha’Carri Richardson.

The advert for Beats Studio Buds included his new song No Child Left Behind and featured the professional athlete who made headlines after missing out on the Olympics following a failed drug test for marijuana.

While there was some hope she would still be able to compete in the Olympics as part of the 4×100 relay team, a roster released by USA Track and Field earlier this month left off the athlete.

The video shows the 21-year-old working up a sweat as Kanye sings: “He’s done miracles on me.”

Text then appeared onscreen that read: “Live Your Truth.

“DONDA Listening Event. Livestream on Apple Music. Thursday at 8PM ET.”

The video concluded by promoting Beats by Dre.

Kanye’s return comes days before he expected to release his tenth album, Donda, named after his late mother.

It was originally planned to be released last July, but will now drop on July 24.

Prior to the posts promoting Kanye’s latest album, the last post the rapper had shared showed him voting for himself during the United States Presidential election.

As of Tuesday night, the only person Kanye follows on Instagram is his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, 40.

The couple split back in February.

Earlier this week he held a listening event at the US city’s ChurchLV for Christians for the new album where it was reported he cried while comparing his life with Kim to “prison”.

Select people were sent invites just before the event on Sunday and were made to put their phones in pouches so they could not record any songs.

The album is also set to feature snippets from Kanye’s mum, who died at the age of 58 in 2007.

The singer has previously spoken about his “deep depression” following her death.

It marks the first album Kanye has released since his split from his reality star wife Kim.
