Tory Lanez was having a whole lot of fun sheltering in place with his record-breaking Quarantine Live Instagram Live show.

Then he was slapped with a one week ban.

 Instagram Head Adam Mosseri jumped on The Shade Room this morning and explained why Tory was punished.

"Quarantine Radio is great, so shout out to Tory Lanez for that.  Quarantine Radio has not been banned.  The lives have been great, the lives with the fans have been great," he said. "But you can't have nudity on Instagram. That's part of our community guidelines, it's part of the rules and we can't make exceptions. And on a couple of those lives, on two accounts, there was nudity so we had to stop the live. There's a short period of time where you can't go live again. We have to stick to the rules otherwise why do we have them? But generally, big fan of Tory Lanez, big fan of Quarantine Radio. I hope it comes back soon, but without nudity. We can't have that."

During the chat, Tory pleaded with Mosseri to free him.  We guess he'll have to wait six days.
