One of Twitter's most boisterous personalities officially joined another social media platform.
Kanye West made his Instagram debut Sunday with a caption-less photo of a futuristic car scurrying down the road alongside a slanted building.
The rapper, who already boasts more than 350,000 followers, quickly racked up over 85,000 likes on the photo within its first hour online.
West's cryptic post comes six months after he teased he might join the photo-sharing app, so long as his followers understood he wasn't interested in their input for what he should upload.
"I was thinking about getting an Instagram but only on one condition......," he tweeted in March. "No one can ask me or try to tell me what to Instagram... It's my art..."
It may be the "Famous" rapper's first-ever Instagram dispatch, but he already has a tremendous following on Twitter thanks in large part to his unrestrained, often daily Twitter rants earlier this year.
Among his most famous Twitter talking points at the beginning of 2016 included asking for donations to fund his ideas, lamenting to his followers that he's $53 million in personal debt, and blasting fellow rapper Wiz Khalifa for commenting on his proposed album title, "Waves."
The 39-year-old hip-hop star has slowed down his activity within the Twittersphere in recent months, though he does still offer up the occasional gem.
"I got rid of my phone so I can have air to create," he tweeted last week.
He also recently shared a photo to the website of his album cover for "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" spliced side-by-side to his noted rival Taylor Swift's "1989."
West is currently in the midst of his sprawling "Saint Pablo Tour," which kicked off last month.
