"Kanye West Opens Up About Controversial Past Relationship Involving a Family Member"

“This song is called Cousins. It’s about my cousin who’s serving a life sentence for the murder of a pregnant woman — a few years after I told him we shouldn’t look at explicit magazines together anymore,” the 47-year-old artist shared.

After referencing their ages at the time—without disclosing the relative's identity—West concluded his message with a stark and unsettling statement.

"My name is Ye and I sucked my cousins d--k till I was 14," he concluded.

In the comments, X users expressed serious concern for West, especially regarding the ages of the alleged activity.

One commenter noted, “But Ye, your cousin was only 9 years old when you were 14.”

Another wrote, “I’m confused — who was the victim here? Him or his cousin? And why?”

Others expressed discomfort and frustration. “That’s deeply disturbing. This wasn’t something the public needed to know,” one user said. Another added, “You make it harder and harder to defend you every day. Is this some kind of test of faith?”
