Kanye West, the American rapper and fashion mogul known for stirring public controversy, shocked fans again with a disturbing personal revelation.
On April 21, he posted on his X account (formerly Twitter) about a deeply troubling experience involving a cousin, drawing widespread concern and backlash.
The post came alongside a preview of his new song titled Cousins. In the message, West shared details about a cousin currently serving a life sentence for the murder of a pregnant woman. He went on to reflect on their shared past, describing experiences from their youth. The post concluded with a startling and graphic confession about an alleged sexual encounter between him and the same cousin during his teenage years.
This message quickly triggered a strong reaction online. Many users responded with confusion, disgust, and concern, questioning the meaning behind the post and its implications. Some tried to understand who was harmed in the situation, while others openly criticized West for making the information public. There was a flood of comments questioning his mental health and urging him to seek help.
The controversy adds to an already long list of unpredictable and often problematic behavior by West in recent years. From public feuds to political aspirations and erratic interviews, his actions have frequently drawn media attention. This latest post has once again placed him in the center of a heated conversation around personal boundaries, public accountability, and mental well-being.
While the artist has not provided further context or clarification, and no official response has come from his representatives, the statement continues to circulate widely. It has also renewed concerns among fans and observers about the rapper’s state of mind and the impact of his statements, especially when they involve serious allegations or traumatic experiences.
The incident raises questions about how public figures share sensitive personal information and the consequences of doing so in such a public way. As discussions continue, many await whether Kanye West will address the backlash or stand by his post without further comment.
