Kanye West appeared happy and relaxed alongside mini-me son Saint at a basketball game on Wednesday night after Instagram issued him with a 24-hour ban.
The Donda rapper, 44, sat front row with six-year-old Saint at a match between the Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics.
Father and son were dressed in matching black outfits consisting of leather jackets, hoodies and acid-wash dark jeans, paired with Kanye’s favoured chunky pull-on boots.
Ye also wore gloves and was seen at one point leaning down to check on his son with a smile.
The pair were flanked by Golden State Warriors co-executive chairmen Joe Lacob and Peter Guber for the game at Chase Center in San Francisco, California.
Saint’s dad was also seen chatting away to Guber during the match, which hosts Golden State Warriors lost 88 – 110.

The chart-topper, who also shares daughters North and Chicago and son Psalm with ex Kim Kardashian, saw himself suspended from posting on Instagram during his feud with Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson.
A spokesperson for Meta, Instagram’s parent company, confirmed to TMZ that Kanye’s recent posts violated Instagram’s policies on hate speech, harassment and bullying.
As a result, he won’t be able to post, send DMs, or comment for 24 hours.

The spokesperson added that they will take additional steps if there are more violations.
Kanye has been taking aim at Pete due to his flourishing relationship with Kim, who filed for divorce from the rapper in February last year.
The Touch The Sky hitmaker shared several Instagram posts on Sunday, sparked by Kim allowing their eight-year-old daughter North to upload a TikTok video again.
In one of his now-deleted videos, Kanye also revealed comedian Pete sent him a string of text messages including a photo of the actor allegedly lying bed with the reality star, which was shared by writer Dave Sirus.

After Kanye claimed that Kim prevented North from attending his Donda 2 release party in Miami, she later begged her ex-husband to ‘stop’ the narrative.
‘You were just here this morning picking up the kids for school,’ she wrote.

Kanye also hit out at Trevor Noah, hurling a racial slur at him after he defended Kim.
The 38-year-old comedian addressed the highly publicised celebrity fallout during his titular late-night talk show and claimed the Skims creator, 41 is being harassed by the rapper, 44.
