Ice Spiceis putting Instagram on blast after the social media platform removed one of her posts for using her real name, Isis.
The post in question was a photo of the rapper with a caption that read, “Ayo Isis,” with a side-eye emoji. The app’s algorithm seemingly flagged the caption as a reference to the Islamic terrorist organization.
In the screenshot, Instagram listed its guidelines, and said it removes “photos or videos of extreme graphic violence, photos or videos that encourage violence or attacks on anyone based on their religious, ethnic or sexual background and specific threats of physical harm, theft, vandalism or financial harm.” It remains unclear which specific guideline Ice Spice violated, and a rep for the app did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
