Kanye West claims he had incestuous relationship with male cousin as a child, ‘acted out’ explicit magazines

Kanye West claims he had an incestuous relationship with his male cousin when they were children.

The troubled rapper, 47, made the admission on X on Monday while releasing a snippet of a music video for a new song titled “Cousins.”

“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,” he told his followers.

“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.”

According to West, he found the “dirty magazines” in the closet of his late mother, Donda West, whom he recently claimed was a lesbian.

“My name is Ye and I sucked my cousins d–k till I was 14,” he concluded his message, adding, “Tweet sent.”
