Kanye West has once again taken to Instagram to express himself through a series of cryptic social media posts.

Trevor Noah has become the latest celebrity to be included in one of his posts after the South African comedian discussed the public feud between Kanye and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

In the early hours of Wednesday (March 16th), Kanye took to his Instagram profile to share a series of posts including one about Pete Davidson, comedian D.L. Hughley, and others.

In one of his posts, Kanye appeared to address Trevor’s comments. The rapper shared a screenshot of Trevor Noah’s Google result which says ‘South African comedian’ under Trevor’s name.

Many Instagram users have pointed out that Kanye captioned the picture with a variation of the African-American spiritual song Kumbaya, My Lord.

Kanye misspelled the caption with ‘koon baya’, which, as reported by TMZ below, has been viewed by some as a racial slur.

Kumbaya is an African-American spiritual and folk song “that was collected in the 1920s from the Gullah — or Geechee — people of the South Carolina and Georgia coast.”

The song’s title translates to Come by Here and was originally an appeal to God to come and help those in need.

The variation posted on Kanye’s Instagram account is being read to many as the word c**n, which is a seriously offensive racial term that is directly linked to slavery, segregation and dehumanization.
