American rapper Kanye West has once again become the subject of public attention as he revealed that he and his now-incarcerated cousin took part in sexual acts when he was a teenager.

The 48-year-old made some controversial claims on Monday, April 21, debuting a new song called ‘Cousins’.

The track was inspired by his jailed cousin, serving a life sentence for killing a pregnant woman.

He tweeted, “This song is called COUSIN 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. My dad had Playboy magazines, but the magazines I found in the top of my mom’s closet were different.

“My name is Ye and I sucked my cousins d**k till I was 14. Tweet sent.”

In the track, West sings about spending time with his cousin and reading adult magazines as children, as well as a variety of homosexual acts. The video for the track then shows clips of some home videos, semi-pornographic images, and gun violence.

This is not the first time he has spoken about his cousin. He gave a shout-out during a 2018 interview with Jimmy Kimmel when asked about Donald Trump’s first presidency.
