Just days ago, the rapper sparked controversy with a tweet claiming he had an incestuous relationship with a male cousin. His new song "Cousins," which opens with the provocative line, "Hanging out with my cousin readin' dirty magazines," was released concurrently with the post.

West went into further detail about the song's history in the tweet, stating that it was motivated by a cousin of his who is presently serving a life sentence for the murder of a pregnant woman. Mentioning the same he further wrote, "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-centred 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,” West further mentioned in the post.

He also stated, "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 sucked my cousins d–k till I was 14," concluded the post.

The rapper has been embroiled in a number of public and legal disputes in recent months. Among them is a lawsuit that was filed in November of last year by a model who claimed that he had engaged in sexual misconduct while working on a music video in 2010.

Kanye's social media activity has also become more unpredictable, with a spate of unsettling posts that contain offensive language and strange assertions. After a string of antisemitic, homophobic, and misogynistic remarks, his X (formerly Twitter) account was deactivated in February but was reactivated a few days later.
