Anytime Kanye West posts something on social media, it is sure to get a lot of attention. This includes a recent tweet about his cousin, and people are talking.
Kanye West shared a personal story from his childhood that many people would probably consider to be TMI. It appears as if he is linking it to an upcoming song he is releasing, ‘Cousins’.
To say that there was sensitive content included in the post is an understatement and many people began discussing it. This is what Kanye said on April 21.
He posted an event that was traumatic from his childhood and involved his cousin. He also said that it was the inspiration for his upcoming track that is entitled ‘Cousins’. He went on to talk about an alleged sexual encounter he had when he was a child and to events that occurred with his cousin.
He wrote on X: “This song is called COUSINS.” He then said that the song was 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 said that he was involved in the activity when he was a child and felt guilty as a result. He went on to write: “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.”
There has been nothing official linked to the claims that he has made and no further details were yet given. It is also part of his recent activity that had him reveal a number of personal issues from his past.
Many people commented on the post, with some giving support and others questioning the age difference. For now, there is no further word from Kanye West’s representative or family members.
