He wrote: "Life is precious. Releasing all grudges today. Leaning into the light", alongside two striking headshots of Queen Elizabeth wearing her crown during her reign. In recent months, the "Stronger" hitmaker has made a number of public rants.

Just last week, Kanye accused his fans of being "crazy" for not understanding him as he slammed his ex-wife Kim Kardashian for allegedly not giving him a say about where to send their kids to school. The rapper also hit out at fashion giants Gap and Adidas in a rant shared on Instagram.

He has previously claimed he had arguments with Kim over parenting. Kanye shares North, nine, Chicago, four, Saint, six, and Psalm, three, with the Kardashians star.

The musician said that he didn't want his brood going to private school Sierra Canyon, but instead wanted them to attend the Donda Academy - an educational college he has set up himself. He quickly followed it up with a post which appeared to be a message from Kim asking him to stop with his public argument.

He wrote: "Here is the through line. Gap having meetings about me without me. Adidas releasing old shoes and coloring my shoes like I'm dead. Me not having a say on where my children go to school.

"Call me whatever names you want. If you don't understand why I will not back down on my businesses my brands and my children then you're the ones who are crazy." Kanye has also made repeated swipes about Kim's now ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson.

Kim and Pete's romance struggled in it's infancy as they faced near constant bombardment from Kanye as he challenged their romance. Pete Davidson in ‘Trauma Therapy’ Following Kanye West’s Attack on Social Media After His Split From Kim Kardashian.
