Recently, his Instagram account was suspended for reasons yet unknown.

Irving revealed it himself using another account where he gave out his thoughts on the matter. With Irving having off-court problems again, fans have rallied behind him and called out the foul play behind Instagram’s decision.

Kyrie Irving and his social media antics have landed him in trouble more often than not. Just a few weeks into the 2022-23 NBA season, he posted the link to a controversial supposedly anti-semitic film on his social media that compelled the Brooklyn Nets to suspend him. However, he hasn’t indulged in any controversial acts following that. In fact, he has been one of the best players on his team for the past few months.

Very recently, Instagram suspended his account for reasons still unknown. This was revealed by the former NBA champion himself through a screenshot who took to his backup account to address the situation.

Irving wrote, “They suspended my @kyrieirving account, idk why, nor do I care to know the reason why. Tribe my tribe: Make sure y’all are paying attention to everything that’s going on. Stand Firm no matter what.”

With Irving faces problems again for no apparent reason, fans on Twitter assembled to call the supposed injustice from Instagram regarding the recent decision. Here are some of the reactions from fans.

As the above reactions suggest, fans are equally confused as Kyrie Irving and the rest of the world as to why Irving was suspended considering he hasn’t indulged in anything for quite some time.

Irving’s Twitter account was suspended a few months ago

Unlike Irving’s Instagram suspension, there was a reason why his Twitter account was suspended. A few months ago, he posted the link to a highly controversial anti-semitic film on his account.
