Boosie has publicly reacted after Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, shocked social media by revealing he was intimate with his male 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. Furthermore, the video featured an apparent song with Ye’s vocals. On the track, he raps about hanging out with his cousin and “reenacting” scenes from “dirty magazines.” Ultimately, on the track, Ye repeats that he performed oral sex on his cousin and now knows that the world will “judge” him for the revelation.
To note, Ye also acknowledges informing others of the revelation and being urged to keep the information to himself. Instead, he explains that he believes the truth will set you free.
“This song is called COUSINS about my cousin thats locked in jail for life for killing a pregnant lady a few years after I told him we wouldnt ‘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.

By Monday evening, Boosie reacted to Ye’s revelation with his own message shared via X. In his text, Boosie explained that he’s sympathetic to Ye and feels the rapper’s recent rants “make [sense] now.”
“DAM KANYE… I FEEL BAD FOR THIS DUDE… THIS DUDE BEEN THREW SOME SHIT BRA. THE RANTS MAKE SINCE NOW. THIS MAN WAS SUCKING DICK AS A CHILD.

Meanwhile, social media users also poured into The Shade Room’s comment section with reactions.
Instagram user @kiraandre wrote, “Theres a lot of Kanyes out there . They just aint as vocal as he is.”
While Instagram user @rasempress added, “If Kanye introduced the younger cousin to this activity, is he a victim or perpetrator?”
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 Beyonc 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.
