And we don't know how to feel about it

We all know that Kanye West has a strange relationship with social media, renowned for his infamous Twitter rants and strange public musings.

There was the time he asked Mark Zuckerberg for one billion dollars, the moment he got emotional over fonts (yes, fonts) and we’re still trying to forget his controversial rant about how expensive abortions are, accusing ‘Gold diggin’ bitches’ of getting pregnant on purpose.

But since he deleted his Twitter and Instagram accounts last May, there has been radio silence…until now.

Yes, as of this week, Kanye is back on social media - and being Kanye, he went overboard.

Rather than uploading a simple ‘I’m back’ post to mark his social media return, Kanye really committed, uploading a whopping 55 photos in a row.

Choosing Valentine’s Day as his comeback date, Kanye turned his Instagram feed into a mood board of romantic couples throughout the ages.

But who were the couples dubbed by Kanye as worthy to make the list?

1. Kris and Robert Kardashian 2. Madonna and Basquiat 3. Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown 4. Sex And The City’s Carrie and Big 5. Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz 6. Bianca Jagger and Mick Jagger 7.
