According to The South African, Noah then hopped into the comments section of Kanye's now-deleted post with a lengthy response. He explained how Ye has been an inspiration to him but he also cautioned him against fighting his family. He said:

"You have every right to fight for your family but you have to know the difference between that and fighting your family."

He also added that he would rather be "the idiot who spoke up" than the cool guy who does not say anything and regrets it later.

According to The Independent, the father of four's racial slurs aimed at Trevor and Pete Davidson led to the temporary suspension of his Instagram account.
