Kanye West is calling for various social media platforms, including Twitter and Instagram, to introduce a new feature which allows users to hide the amount of likes or followers they have.
In a series of tweets, the rapper asked to meet with a number of social media CEOs to talk about making a change.
He wrote: “IÂ personally want to participate in social media with the option of not having to show my followers or likes.”
“Having your amount of likes on display for the world to see and judge is like showing how much money you have in the bank or having to write the size of your d**k on your t shirt.”
There are people who are committing suicide due to not getting enough likes. Seeking validation in the simulation.  We need a live-streamed meeting with Jack Dorsey Kevin Systrom Mike Krieger Mark Zuckerberg and Evan Spiegal. pic.twitter.com/boAbEDqIyG

In another tweet, Kanye claimed: “There are people who are committing suicide due to not getting enough likes. Seeking validation in the simulation.”
“We need a live-streamed meeting with Jack Dorsey Kevin Systrom Mike Krieger Mark Zuckerberg and Evan Spiegal.”
“We should be able to participate in social media without having to show how many followers or likes we have. Just like how we can turn off the comments we should be able to turn off the display of followers.”
“This has an intense negative impact on our self worth.Social media can be good but we have to hold the heads responsible for the psychological damage it sometimes causes,” he added.
