Kanye West claims to sleep with ‘Cousin’

On Monday, Kanye West, now 47, stirred controversy on social media with shocking claims about an incestuous relationship with a male cousin during their childhood.

The revelation came alongside a music video clip for his new song “Cousins.” In the post, West wrote, “This song is called COUSINS about my cousin, locked up for life for murdering a pregnant woman years after I told him we wouldn’t ‘look at dirty magazines together’ anymore.

Maybe in my self-centered mess, I felt guilty for showing him those magazines when he was 6, and we acted out what we saw.”

West claimed he found the “dirty magazines” belonging to his late mother, Donda West, whom he recently alleged was a lesbian. He concluded his post with, “My name is Ye and I sucked my cousins d-k till I was 14. Tweet sent.”

In the song, West raps, “Hanging with my cousin reading dirty magazines / We seen some n-as kiss, and we ain’t know what that s-t mean / Then we start reenacting everything that we had seen / That’s when I gave my cousin head.”

He repeats the line multiple times, adding that he told his cousin to keep it a secret. West also sings, “People tell me take it to my grave: ‘Truth will set you free someday.’ I don’t think they understand that I’m not attracted to a man.”

The video includes home footage, gun violence, semi-pornographic imagery, a sign reading “4 f******,” and a burning cross.

West has previously referenced his cousin, who is incarcerated for murder, in discussions with ex-wife Kim Kardashian. In 2018, he told Jimmy Kimmel, “My cousin is locked up for murder, and I love him. He did a bad thing, but I still love him,” while expressing support for then-President Trump.

Kardashian also mentioned the cousin’s double life sentence for a murder committed at 17 during a 2020 meeting with Marc M. Howard of the Frederick Douglass Project for Justice.
