The drastic move to clear the Instagram page comes shortly after the death of Kanye West’s close friend and collaborator Virgil Abloh. Shortly after an official announcement that Virgil had lost his private two-year battle with cardiac angiosarcoma, a rare aggressive form of cancer, Ye took to Instagram to share a livestream for the latest installment of Sunday Service.
