Instagram might welcome its latest celebrity to their popular social media platform, but not without some strings attached. Earlier today (Monday, March 14), Kanye West took to his personal Twitter account to announce his plans of possibly joining his wife Kim Kardashian-West on Instagram. There is one condition: he will only utilize it if the creativity within the posts aren't censored, attacked, or questioned.
Kanye has been known to surprise his fans through his eclectic set of tweets, always keeping them on their toes. One of the many reasons the controversial rapper has remained active on Twitter is because he's been able to write and post whatever comes to his mind without any rules or regulations. Kanye is hoping Instagram will offer him a similar outlet to share his ideas.
The announcement came fresh off of a string of tweets the 38-year-old Chicago native released regarding positivity and the things he cares about the most. Kanye listed people, the future, truth, and quality as things he cherishes.

no one can ask me or try to tell me what to Instagram... It's my art... — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) March 14, 2016
"I was thinking about getting an Instagram but only on one condition......" Kanye tweeted. "No one can ask me or try to tell me what to Instagram...It's my art..."
His wife currently reigns as one of the most followed people on Instagram. Although Kanye has yet to create his account, Kim has kept his image alive and well on the social network by posting photos and videos of them together, as well as their children.
The 35-year-old mother of two recently became a Snapchat member after teasing videos with DJ Khaled. One of her most recent stories included an outing with Kanye and their daughter North in the car. Kanye was seen dancing in the car, while North gave her mommy the "death stare" due to her dislike for Snapchat.
My tweets are a form of contemporary art only compromised by people trying to tell me what to tweet and not to tweet...

Non artist trying to grab the paint brush... — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) March 14, 2016
"My tweets are a form of contemporary art only compromised by people trying to tell me what to tweet and not to tweet," Kanye added. "Non-artists trying to grab the paint brush..."
Will Kanye's Instagram post be just as controversial as his tweets?
