American rapper, Kanye West, has made a disturbing confession about having intimate relationships with his male cousin.
Kanye West made this revelation on his social media account, where he shared details about the affair.
“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.”

The rapper took partial blame for the incident, saying he may be at fault for exposing him to graphic content at a very young age.
“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 at the top of my mom’s closet were different. My name is Ye and I sucked my cousins dick till I was 14.”

While the Chicago rapper has been outspoken about his personal and mental challenges, his latest revelation is a big shock.
Some observers have praised Kanye West for sharing such deep-level trauma, especially giving the context of the situation.
Rapper A$AP Ferg praised him for his courage in speaking up and called it an important path to recovery.

Other commentators added that Kanye West’s revelation sheds light on the issue of male child sexual assault that is often overlooked.
In recent months, Kanye West has been in the news after making several controversial statements.
In a post on X, he referred to the kids of rapper Jay-Z and Beyonce as mentally challenged, thus forcing the power couple to consider legal actions against him.
He also continued his love-hate relationship with Drake with posts supporting the rapper in his beef against Kendrick Lamar.
Kanye West said he hated ‘Not Like Us’ and revealed that he loves Drake and wants him to speak at his funeral.
Kanye West Spotted with Estranged Wife

Rapper Kanye West shared a picture of himself and his wife, Bianca Censori, together amid rumours of their divorce.
Kanye West, also known as Ye, has made several headlines in recent months due to several concerning rants on X/Twitter, as well as his bizarre behaviour offline.
Amid recent rumours that West and his wife Censori were getting divorced, the Chicago rapper shared a new photo, which he captioned “fit pic” on social media on Monday (21 April).
In the picture, the couple could be seen posing in front of a stone wall, with West dressed in all-black in a hoodie, jacket and leather trousers.
Meanwhile, Censori stood next to him wearing a silver/grey structured bodysuit and black thigh-high boots.
The image has sparked speculation among fans about the current status of their relationship, especially since earlier this month, podcaster DJ Akademiks appeared to livestream a snippet from a track titled ‘Bianca’, allegedly from an upcoming album of West’s.
On the track, the lyrics said: “Bianca, I just want you to come back. Come back to me”.
“I know what I did to make you mad … My baby she ran away, but first she tried to get me committed. Not going to the hospital ‘cause I am not sick, I just do not get it.”

Elsewhere in the song, the lyrics appear to claim Censori had a panic attack over West’s social media outbursts.
“She’s having a panic attack and she is not liking the way that I tweeted. Until Bianca’s back, I’ll stay up all night, I’m not going to sleep. I really don’t know where she’s at. I’m tracking my b**ch through an app.”
