Kanye West looks somber at basketball game with son Saint, 6, hours after Instagram ban over ‘threats’ to Kim & Pete
KANYE West looked serious while attending a basketball game with his six-year-old son Saint on Wednesday.
The rapper, 44, had been banned from Instagram hours before the game for attacking Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend Pete Davidson in a series of nasty posts.
And Kanye appeared to have the social-media ban on his mind as he took in the Boston Celtics versus Golden State Warriors game.
He had a deadpan expression while sitting next to Saint in the crowd at the Chase Center in San Francisco.
The Yeezy mogul wore a hoodie, leather jacket, jeans and leather gloves for the casual outing.
Kanye was suspended from using Instagram for 24 hours on Wednesday, TMZ revealed.

A spokesperson for Meta told the publication that his recent posts "violated Instagram's policies on hate speech, harassment and bullying."
He won't be able to post, comment, or send direct messages.
The spokesperson for the parent company of Instagram (Meta is also known as Facebook) added that they'll "take additional steps if further violations happen."
Earlier that day, Kanye had claimed he was concerned Pete would get Kim "hooked on drugs" as he has been in and out of rehab.
The father-of-four posted a screenshot of a fan's comment reading: "The way Skete used Kim's marital status to address Kanye was a sneak diss to her and she didn't even catch it."
He captioned it: "Im really concerned that SKETE will get my kids' mom hooked on drugs. He’s in rehab every two months."

The fan comment referred to a leaked harsh text exchange between Pete and Kanye earlier this week.
"Yo it's Skeet," the Saturday Night Live star had texted, referencing the nickname Kanye gave him.
"Can you please take a second to calm down? It's 8am in the morning. It doesn't gotta be like this."
Pete went on: "Kim is literally the best mother I've ever met.
"I've decided I'm not gonna let you treat us this way anymore and I'm done being quiet. Grow the f**k up."
Kanye countered: "Oh you using profanity. Where are you right now?"
Pete replied: "In bed with your wife," along with a selfie showing him lying on a bed.
A day later, Kanye referenced their conversation, writing: "SKETE called this 'legally single' person my wife."

Kanye also targeted Kim and their four kids - North, eight, Saint, Chicago, four, and Psalm, two.
On Monday he shared a close-up photo of a backpack and wrote: "This was on my daughter's backpack when I was 'allowed' to see her last week."
Kim clapped back in the comments: "Please stop with this narrative, you were just here this morning picking up the kids for school."
The star's defense came just days after she was the subject of yet another rant from her ex-husband.
Kanye also slammed the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star in a nearly two-minute video for allowing North to appear on TikTok and wear makeup.
KIM AND PETE
Kim and Pete first connected when she hosted SNL last October.
Since the duo started dating, Kanye has called the standup comic a "d**khead," threatened to "beat his a**" and accused him of attempting to "destroy" his family.
Kanye even "kidnapped and beheaded" Pete in the animated music video of his song Eazy, which he also promoted on his Instagram.
The hitmaker also claimed he had "ran Skete off the gram" when the comedian deleted his account after posting and deleting his first post.
