On his Instagram account that has amassed 39.5 million followers, he has removed all of the accounts he follows, meaning he no longer follows Ferrari or his own dog, Roscoe.
On his X and TikTok accounts, no other changes have been made, meaning it is just his Instagram account that has gone through this change.
