Fans have been concerned for Kanye West in more recent weeks, after the rapper has gone on a series of Instagram rants about ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
While the pair are set to be getting divorced, Kanye, 44, is trying to win Kim, 41, back, with a series of intense posts and gestures which have attracted criticism.
The Stronger rapper has also been dismissive of Kim’s new beau Pete Davidson, referring to him as ‘Skete’ and sharing private messages the Saturday Night Live comedian has sent him.

But it appears Kanye has turned a corner when it comes to the Insta drama, and has now seemingly sent Pete his approval.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Kanye is now following Pete, 28, on Instagram, and has deleted any disparaging posts aimed at him or Kim.
The news comes after Kanye publicly apologised for his behaviour on social media, describing his actions as “jarring”.
He wrote: "I’ve learned that using all caps makes people feel like I’m screaming at them. I’m working on my communication. I can benefit from a team of creative professionals, organizers, mobilizers and community leaders."
He added: "Thank everybody for supporting me. I know sharing screen shots was jarring and came off as harassing Kim. I take accountability. I’m still learning in real time. I don’t have all the answers. To be good leader is to be a good listener."
Kanye’s erratic behaviour has been the source of many jokes and memes on social media – however, others have urged we show more compassion to Ye, who has spoken out about his diagnosis with bipolar disorder.
Speaking to Tyla this week, psychologist Caron Barruw from The Niche Group explained: "As Kanye has always used social media as a platform for his episodes, many people do not understand the condition or the behaviours that occur. Furthermore, there is no monitoring of the constant messaging no matter how abusive they become."
She continued: "In managing manic episodes they can often appear as someone ‘just going on' and to an average person it may sound like JUST a rant . However, as it is a diagnosis that needs treatment and attention, the ideal initial way of treating it is to talk slowly and quietly to the person."
