Ye, Formerly Known As Kanye West, Reveals He Was Intimate With His Cousin As A Child
On Monday, April 21, Ye took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share a tweet accompanied by a video that has now garnered over 11 million views to date.

“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 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 My name is Ye and I s****d my cousins d**k till I was 14 Tweet sent,” the rapper wrote.

Ye’s remarks about his cousin aren’t the first time he’s shocked the internet in recent months. As The Shade Room previously reported, in March, he took to X to share a now-deleted tweet about Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s youngest children. Subsequently, social media users deemed Ye’s words “disgusting,” “horrible,” “unnecessary,” and “unprovoked.”
Furthermore, one social media user even noted that Ye’s words made them “sick” to their stomach. Around the same time, Ye also made headlines by reflecting on the grief he experienced after his mother’s death in 2007.
