In a shocking revelation that has sent shockwaves through social media and the music industry, Kanye West claims he had a past incestuous relationship with a cousin during his childhood. The controversial rapper, now known as Ye, made this startling confession in a recent post on X, formerly known as Twitter, where he revealed the inspiration behind his upcoming song titled “Cousins.”
The 47-year-old Grammy winner recounted a troubling experience that he alleges began when he was just six years old. He expressed a sense of guilt, suggesting that his actions—showing his cousin explicit magazines—led to their inappropriate behavior. “Perhaps in my self-centered mess I felt it was my fault that I showed him those dirty magazines,” Ye wrote, detailing the discovery of these materials in his mother’s closet. His proclamation, “My name is Yay and I sucked my cousin’s till I was 14,” has ignited a frenzy of reactions online, with many questioning the implications of his confession.
Ye also mentioned that his cousin is currently incarcerated for life after committing a violent crime, adding another layer of complexity to his narrative. The rapper’s candid admission follows a series of controversial statements and apologies, including a recent message to Jay-Z questioning the mental acuity of his former friend’s children.
This latest revelation not only casts a shadow over West’s personal life but also raises questions about his mental health and the impact of his experiences on his artistry. As the music community and fans grapple with this unsettling confession, the anticipation for “Cousins” builds—blurring the lines between art and personal trauma.
