To gram or not to gram, that is the question.

Instagram isn't exactly known for being the land of nudity like Twitter can be, but celebrities still love pushing the boundaries are far as they can. So, while a bunch of celebs clearly enjoy posting their nude pics on the gram, that doesn't mean all of them got away with it. Just think of Instagram as Mystery, Inc. from Scooby-Doo and celebs as the people being unmasked: They would've gotten away with it, too, had it not been for those meddling kids community guidelines.

After you finish cringing over celebs using Instagram and other social media platforms to call out their exes, check out which of your faves poked the Instagram bear with their ~risqué~ photos.

Remember when Drake shared his own nude pic in 2018? Apparently, Instagram wasn't pleased.

In February 2019, Drake sat down with his Drake & Josh co-star, Josh Peck, to film a fun video for Josh's YouTube channel. According to Drake, IG called the photo "obscene."

"I posted it early, like when I first took it, and then I reposted it," Drake explained, "and I got a notice [from Instagram], and it was like, 'This obscene....'" He couldn't even finish his sentence because he was laughing too hard.

"I wouldn't call that obscene," Josh said. "I can't stop looking at it."

In 2014, Kendall 'grammed a pic of herself walking down the runway at Marc Jacobs' New York Fashion Week show. You could see her breasts in the photo, thanks to the sheer top.

Both Khloé and Kim Kardashian shared a pic of their sister during the show. IG deleted all of them.

Kim also tweeted her frustration on behalf of her sister: "Ughhhh can Instagram just delete your photos? Maybe @KendallJenner was too hot for [Instagram]!!!"

In late 2019, Jason's super sexy underwear pic was deleted from Instagram. He later talked about the incident on Strahan, Sara and Keke.

"When I posted this, it was early in the morning and I was like, 'This is a good photo of myself, I'm going to post it,'" Jason said. "Never in a million years did I think it was going to be my most-liked photo in an afternoon."

After the pic was taken down, Jason shared a screenshot of IG's removal notice, writing, "F*k u [sic] mean? I have underwear on....I can’t help my size....”

After RiRi posted her Lui magazine cover that showed some nipple in 2014, Instagram censored the image. However, the photo is still up on her Twitter, as are several naked pics from the magazine.

According to TMZ, Rihanna received an email that allegedly said she needed to cover up, or risk losing her account entirely. In response, she 'grammed this meme, simply captioning it, ":(".

Miley Cyrus's tank top

Technically, this photo from 2019 is still up on Instagram, but even Miley thought IG would ban it. Her caption included, "PS this is getting removed soon!"

When it still hadn't been taken down, Miley added to her caption, "PPS I f**king love you instagram! Thank you for stanning the Nips! Respect."

Madonna

In 2013, the singer posted a screenshot of Instagram's message of her "violating" their guidelines.

It's unclear which of the pics Madonna posted after joining IG was considered "mature," but one of her drinking a martini while showing off her cleavage could be the culprit.
