Kanye West changes Instagram avatar to Kris Jenner out of ‘peace’

Kanye West said changed his Instagram avatar to a photo of Kris Jenner out of “peace and respect.”

The Yeezy fashion designer made the swap Wednesday and clarified the decision wasn’t stemming from a feud.

“I posted Kris with thoughts of peace and respect lets [sic] change the narrative,” he wrote on his Instagram Stories.

Currently, the avatar is the exact same photo that Jenner, 66, is using for her account.

The seemingly friendly message was published mere weeks after West, 45, went on a social media rant against Jenner and the Kardashians, including his estranged wife Kim Kardashian. In one post, which since has been deleted, the artist railed against the famed momager for allowing Kylie Jenner and Kim to pose for Playboy.

“This is the mother of my children, and I apologize for any stress that I have caused, even in my frustration, because God calls me to be stronger,” the rapper said.

“I need this person to be less stressed and of the best, sound mind,” he added. “And as calm as possible to be able to raise those children at the end of the day.”

West and Kim, 41, share four kids: North, 9, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 3.

Conversations about disability are slowly increasing, especially when it comes to ableist language and how disabled people are represented in the media. Disability advocate Talila A. Lewis' working definition of ableism is a "system that places value on people's bodies and minds based on societally constructed ideas of normalcy, intelligence and excellence." NPR spoke to Cara Reedy, the director and founder of the Disabled Journalists Association, and Rosemary McDonnell-Horita of LaVant Consu
