Rapper Kanye West took to Instagram to attack Trevor Noah over a story he covered on The Daily Show.

Check that out below.

That attack saw Kanye's Instagram get suspended. At the time of writing, Kanye's Instagram account is active.

However, his offensive post about Trevor Noah has been deleted.

But before it was deleted, Trevor actually responded to Kanye in the comment section:

"Damn, here we go again, everybody sayin’ what’s not for him…

There are few artists who have had more of an impact on me than you Ye. You took samples and turned them into symphonies. You took your pain and through the wire turned it into performance perfection.

I thought differently about how I spend my money because of you, I learned to protect my child-like creativity from grown thoughts because of you, sh*t I still smile every time I put on my seatbelt because of you.

You were a serious rapper who also knew when not to take himself seriously.

You effortlessly brought comedy into music and made us all smile while we rapped along."You’re an indelible part of my life Ye. Which is why it breaks my heart to see you like this.

I don’t care if you support Trump and I don’t care if you roast Pete. I do however care when I see you on a path that’s dangerously close to peril and pain.

You have every right to fight for your family. But you have to know the difference between that and fighting your family. I’ve woken up too many times and read headlines about men who’ve killed their exes, their kids and then themselves.

I never want to read that headline about you.

If you’re just joking about it all and I’m an idiot for caring, then so be it. But I’d rather be the idiot who spoke up and said something to you in life, than the cool guy who said nothing and then mourns for you in prison or the grave."

He continued: "Oh and as for Koon…clearly some people graduate but we are still stupid. Don’t ever forget, the biggest trick racists ever played on black people was teaching us to strip each other of our blackness whenever we disagree.

Tricking us into dividing ourselves up into splinters so that we would never unite into a powerful rod. (I can’t front though, Koon Baya is also funny as sh*t).

Look after yourself, my brother. Hopefully one day we’ll all be laughing about this situation and how it all ended with peace and love."
