Kanye West recently took to social media to reveal that he and his cousin were involved in an incestuous relationship during their childhood. Kanye, 47, in his April 21 post on X claimed that his past sexual relationship with his family member was the reason he composed an upcoming single titled, Cousins.

“This song is called COUSINS about my cousin that’s locked in jail for life for killing a pregnant lady a few years after I told him we wouldn’t ‘look at dirty magazines together’ anymore,” the controversial rapper and fashion designer wrote alongside a video of the supposed song playing in the background.

Kanye, who is also known as Ye, then stated that he was probably the one to be blamed for having an incestuous relationship with his anonymous cousin. 

“Perhaps in my self centered mess I felt it was my fault that I showed him those dirty magazines when he was 6 and then we acted out what we saw,” he wrote. “My dad had playboy magazines but the magazines I found in the top of my moms closet were different.”

He concluded by writing, “My name is Ye and I sucked my cousins d*ck till I was 14.”

Kanye has largely been in the news in recent times for all the wrong reasons. In March, the rapper and fashion designer went for his former collaborator Jay-Z and his wife Beyoncé’s 7-year-old twin children, Face2Face Africa reported.

Kanye in his since-deleted post on X appeared to cast doubts about Sir and Rumi Carter’s mental capacity. The 47-year-old, who shares four children with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, however, later rendered an apology. 

“I LOVE JAY Z AND I DO FEEL BAD,” he wrote before trying to explain why he supposedly fell off with Jay-Z. “HOV [Jay-Z] NOT COMING TO MY FIRST WEDDING  HIM PUTTING KENDRICK ON THE SUPERBOWL OVER ME OR EVEN US NEVER BEING INVITED TO SH*T,” he added. 

“TAKING JABS ABOUT MY RED HAT ON DONDA I FELT LIKE BOTH HIM AND HIS WIFE COULD HAVE HELPED ME HAVE MORE LEVERAGE WITH MY KIDS,” Kanye said about his child custody issues with Kardashian.

Kanye, however, ended his post with some strong words: “THEY COULD HAVE USED THEIR CULTURAL POSITION TO NOT JUST WATCH THE KARDASHIANS RUN ME OVER. SH*T HURTS  SO F*CK BOTH OF THEM CAUSE WHEN I NEEDED THEM IT WAS F*CK ME.”
