Yeezy has joined Instagram.
We repeat, Kanye West has finally joined Instagram.
According to celebrity gossip Instagram account The Shade Room, Kanye joined the social media site an hour ago and has already amassed over 132,000 followers.
Well, seeing as his wife has over 82.7 million followers, it's hardly surprising.
But unfortunately, Yeezy is yet to post a picture to Instagram so we've rounded up 11 ways he can start building his social media profile.
What are friends for anyway, Kanye?
1. Coded throwing of shade
You know when you scroll through Facebook and an old school friend has obviously broken up with a boyfriend or BFF and decided to post a cryptic/not so cryptic lyric from a song you all know refers to their current frenemy?
Well, you can expect a lot of this from Kanye, most notably pointed towards Taylor Swift. At least he can draw from his own material, for example the Famous line 'I made that b*tch famous'.
Oooh burn.
2. Quick picture of cherry blossom
Nothing screams 'Instagram professional' like a picture of pink cherry blossom on the way to work.
Throw in some rainbow-coloured Notting Hill terraced houses and West is sure to accrue a bevvy of followers in no time.
3. Holding coffee picture on the way to the studio
Hard work = coffee.
And no one works quite as hard as Kanye, right?
We can't wait for the day when Kanye uploads a picture of his Starbucks coffee with his name spelt wrong.
The caption?
'Classic Starbucks spelling my name wrong. It's Kanye, not Kappe, guys. LOL. Love you long time Starbucks. Keeping on making that caffeinated goodness #coffeetime #studiotime #KanyeNeedsKoffee'
4. 'Just woke up' face in bed with Kim
We're all well-accustomed to Instagram pictures of celebrities either pretending to be asleep or sporting a full-face of makeup while in bed with the caption 'Just woke up'.
You're not kidding anyone, celebs. No one looks that good after smushing their face into a pillow for eight hours.
Seeing as Kanye isn't scared of depicting himself naked in bed with a group of celebrities (remember his Famous art installation with T.Swift, Kim, Amber Rose and Donald Trump?), we're counting down the days until he posts a closed-eye picture of himself snuggled up next to Kim.
5. Arty furniture inspiration
Who doesn't love an #inspo shot on Instagram?
Kanye has already expressed his desire to design for Swedish furniture brand IKEA so we're imagining lots of snaps of Kanye's Yeezy bookcases, Stronger Hemnes wardrobes and FOURFIVESECONDS Lack tables.
6. #FWIS shots
Kanye loves fashion. Who can forget last week's Yeezy Season 4 show?
Give it one week and we're sure to see a #fwis shot of Kanye waiting for his chauffeur driven car showing off his Yeezy trainers. He's so fashion.
7. Throwbacks to the 'Goldigger' days
Thursdays are the day for throwbacks in the world of Instagram.
Kanye, we're expecting many a #TBT of your younger days chilling with Jamie Foxx on the set of Gold Digger, hanging out on the beach with your ex Amber Rose and awkward school photos.
Bring it on.
8. BBF snaps with Jay Z
The only way to show your undying love for your best friends these days are on Instagram.
Whether it's a Boomerang dancing in a nightclub or old pictures on school trips, Instagram is the place to celebrate ever-lasting friendships.
Kanye, how about a throwback image of your with Jay-Z to celebrate your tight bond?
Caption it with 'BFF times with this bae' and expect your followers to double, tenfold.
9. Stereotypical passport shot
Kanye does a lot of traveling from Los Angeles to New York but it's not always easy to keep track of where he is in the world. Kanye, a text wouldn't go a miss once in a while...
Westy, keep your fans up-to-date with an Instagram post of your passport tickets and Instagram stories of your private jet flights to let them know your safe.
10. Bible quotes
For a man who named himself after Jesus (Yeezy), it's unsurprising he once called himself 'I Am A God' in an interview with Zane Lowe.
Clearly, the man is religious so expect many posts of Bible quotes.
11. 'I'm happy but look bored' selfie face
Kanye undeniably has one of those unfortunate 'resting b*tch' faces. He could win the lottery, buy a puppy and become President of the US and he would still look like you kicked him in the shins.
We can't wait to see several Kanye selfied displaying his eclectic range of emotions.
Happy face, ecstatic face, nervous face, scared face.
Think they all look the same?
Nah, you just don't know Kanye like we do.
