Renowned rapper and fashion mogul Kanye West sent the internet into a frenzy after he made bold incestuous claims on X. Kanye, who now goes by Ye, is no stranger to controversy, as many of his social media rants turn heads and stir up a conversation. The latest conversation social media users are having is about an alleged sexual act between Ye and his male cousin. This quickly became a trending topic after the rapper claimed that he and his cousin engaged in incest while growing up.
On Easter Monday, the Donda rapper unveiled a song he created titled COUSIN. The details of the song left X users stunned when Ye claimed in the post that his incarcerated cousin inspired it. Ye said his cousin is serving time for “killing a pregnant lady,” which occurred a few years after Ye allegedly told his cousin they “wouldn’t ‘look at dirty magazines together’ anymore.”
The strange post goes on to say that Ye blames himself for introducing his then 6-year-old cousin to adult magazines. He claimed that they acted out the sexual content that they saw in the magazine, which he indicated was not Playboy magazine.
“Perhaps in my self-centred 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 mom’s closet were different,” he continued. The post concluded with the sentence, “My name is Ye, and I sucked my cousin’s d**k till I was 14. Tweet sent.”
The shocking post was accompanied by a preview of the song. The video attached shows various random scenes, including a topless woman wearing Nazi swastikas on her nipples, someone jumping in a pool, someone being hounded by an armed individual, dogs, multiple people with guns, and cars driving.
There is limited information on Ye’s imprisoned cousin. A documentary with Marc Howard, Ye’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, mentioned Ye’s cousin when she spoke about him receiving a double life sentence. She said his murder conviction stemmed from a killing he committed at the age of 17. According to Kim, the cousin’s mother, Ye’s aunt, made peace with her son’s fate because the children in their community all went down the same path.
Additionally, Ye also mentioned his cousin in a 2018 interview. While speaking with Jimmy Kimmel, he acknowledged that his brother did a horrible thing, but he still loves him.
