Both of his highly-followed social media accounts were gone once again on Saturday. He's deleted them in the past as well.

A specific reason hasn't been given as to why he's deleted both of them, but it did happen after an intense week that saw the "Gold Digger" rapper get criticized for his performances on the season premiere of Saturday Night Live last week.

He's now reportedly banned from the long-running sketch program after he went on a long rant about the President while wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat, which earned several boos from the audience.

A possible reason for why he's doing this has to do with his late mother Donda West, who passed away in November of 2017. “If you remember, it was a year ago that this happened … almost exactly a year ago,” an insider close to him told PEOPLE about his controversial actions over the past couple of weeks. "It happens every fall as we get close to the anniversary of her death."
