Kanye West Admits To Incestuous Acts As A Child

West opened up about a shocking sexual act he was involved in with his male cousin while growing up as a child.
The musician behind “Donda” chose to use the platform X, previously known as Twitter, on Easter Monday to post a teaser about a new song called “COUSIN,” stating that it was inspired by a relative who is serving a life sentence for the murder of a pregnant woman.
Sharing a music video alongside, which featured a topless woman with Nazi swastikas for nipples, as well as a scene where someone was hounded by an ndividual pointing a gun, West revealed he gave his cousin oral sex as a child.
He sings repeatedly, “I gave my cousin head,” adding, “I told my cousin not to tell nobody.”

In the caption, the rapper wrote, “This song is called COUSIN 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.”
“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. My dad had playboy magazines but the magazines I found in the top of my moms closet were different,” he continued.
“My name is Ye and I sucked my cousin’s d-ck till I was 14. Tweet sent,” West added, per the Daily Mail.

The Rapper’s Cousin Bagged A ‘Double Life Sentence’ For His Crime

Not much is known about West’s cousin, whom he has referenced a few times in the past.
In a previous documentary with Marc Howard, president of the Frederick Douglass Project for Justice and director of Georgetown University’s Prisons and Justice Initiative, West’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, revealed that the rapper’s cousin bagged a “double life sentence for a murder that he committed when he was 17.”
The reality TV star added that West’s aunt has accepted her son’s fate, saying, “She’s like, ‘I’m not even that distraught anymore. Like, that’s just what happens to the kids in our neighborhood.’ There’s just no other choice.”

Bianca Censori Breaks Silence On Her Husband’s Claims

Amid rumors that they recently split for a short time, West’s wife Bianca Censori took to her X account to break her silence on his shocking claims, saying she’s “heartbroken.”
“As someone so close to @kanyewest, seeing his recent post shattered something in me. I admire his courage to speak on such deep, painful truths, truths that might help parents watch their children more closely. But some wounds deserve healing in private,” the former Yeezy architect wrote.
She continued, “Not every scar needs to be exposed to the world. Yes, @kanyewest had a troubled childhood, & it hurts knowing he carried that pain for so long. But wish he kept this one to himself.”
“Not for shame, but for protection. For himself & his family. Pain shared is powerful, but not every secret is for public consumption,” the 30-year-old model wrote, adding that she’s “still trying to process it all.”

Kanye West Reveals Why His Relationship With Jay-Z Soured

In recent weeks, the “Vultures 1” rapper has used X to make controversial rants and allegations against several people, from his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, and her family, to his wife, Censori, to his former associate, Jay-Z, and his wife, Beyoncé, and even their young children.
In a since-deleted tweet, he wrote that a lyric Jay-Z recited about him and his political affiliation on their song “Jail,” released in 2021, hurt his “soul.”
“Why did Jay Z have to say ‘no red hat’ on Jail,” West wrote. “That sh-t tore me to my soul. We fought about it, and he told me either leave [his] line on there or take [his] verse off. Me wearing the red hat was the most stand out example of me going against ‘the program.’ Do you guys think he was instructed to say that?”
The Rapper Is A Staunch Trump Supporter

Unlike West, Jay-Z has never commented on their relationship, so it’s unclear if the former friends truly fell out over the former’s political beliefs.
In the song “Jail,” Jay-Z raps: “Told him, ‘Stop all of that red cap, we goin’ home’ / Not me with all of these sins, castin’ stones / This might be the return of The Throne (Throne) / Hova and Yeezus, like Moses and Jesus.”
West is a vocal supporter of Donald Trump and has been pictured posing with the president’s campaign merch, including a red ball cap that features the phrase “Make America Great Again.”
