Jason Derulo's 'anaconda' gets banned from Instagram

Cape Town – Jason Derulo's 'anaconda' just got banned from Instagram because it "goes against Community Guidelines on nudity or sexual activity" – and fans are calling it "DICKSCRIMINATION"!

The Talk Dirty singer shared Instagram's message about their guidelines in a post and wrote, "Fuk u mean? I have underwear on..."  He also added, "I can't help my size..."

Swipe right left and you'll see the image they banned. In it, the shirtless 30-year-old is wearing black boxer briefs and appears to be getting out of a steamy pool?

According to E! News the photo was taken in Bali, and when Jason initially posted the picture in November, he pretty much broke the internet with the visible bulge her referred to in the comments as his "anaconda".

In the comments, users came to the singer's defence.

"DICKSCRIMINATION" commented one user, another said, "You been shadowbanned."

For those who don't know, according to The Economist: "A shadowban, in theory, curtails the ways in which that attention may be earned without blocking a user’s ability to post new messages or carry out typical actions on a network."

Jason later commented on the post starting the hashtag, "#bringbackAnaconda."
