Kanye West Shocks Fans with Relationship with Cousin
Kanye West, the controversial rapper and producer, stunned the public on April 21, 2025, by claiming he had an incestuous relationship with a male cousin during childhood.

He shared this in a tweet on X, linking it to his upcoming song “Cousins.” The post detailed a sexual encounter when he was young, involving adult magazines, some allegedly belonging to his late mother, Donda West.
He also mentioned his cousin is now in prison for murdering a pregnant woman.
Did Kanye Really Say This?
Kanye made the statement. He posted it on X, and it’s referenced in his song “Cousins.” Multiple outlets, including NDTV, India Today, and the Daily Mail, reported on the tweet. The post sparked immediate backlash, with no response yet from Kanye’s team or family.
Where Did He Say It?
Kanye shared the claim on X on April 21, 2025. He described the experience in both the tweet and lyrics for “Cousins,” part of his upcoming album, reportedly titled CUCK (previously WW3). The song includes lines about reenacting scenes from adult magazines with his cousin.
Impact of the Claim
The revelation shocked fans and critics. Social media erupted, with some calling it a publicity stunt to promote his album. Others expressed concern for Kanye’s mental health, citing his history of controversial outbursts.
Internet labeled him an “attention seeker,” while others criticized the graphic nature of the disclosure. The claim has reignited debates about Kanye’s behavior, especially after his 2024 X account deactivation for posting antisemitic and offensive content. It may further damage his public image and brand partnerships.
Who Is Kanye West?
Kanye West, also known as Ye, is a 47-year-old Grammy-winning rapper, producer, and fashion designer. Born in Atlanta and raised in Chicago, he rose to fame with his 2004 album The College Dropout. Known for hits like “Gold Digger” and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, he’s a cultural icon.

His Yeezy fashion line and Adidas partnership made him a billionaire. However, his outspoken nature and controversial statements— including antisemitic remarks in 2022—have polarized fans and brands.
How Fans View Kanye
Fans are divided. Some admire his musical genius and boundary-pushing creativity. Others criticize his erratic behavior, from interrupting Taylor Swift at the 2009 VMAs to recent offensive posts.
His latest claim has left supporters conflicted, with some defending his openness and others distancing themselves. Social media reflects this split, with hashtags trending both in support and condemnation.
Kanye’s Revenue
Kanye’s net worth is estimated at $400 million, down from a $2 billion peak, per Forbes. His wealth comes from music, Yeezy sneakers, and real estate.
However, his antisemitic remarks led Adidas to end their partnership in 2022, costing him millions. Recent lawsuits, including one from a model alleging sexual misconduct in 2010, may further strain his finances. His music and fashion ventures remain lucrative but face challenges amid ongoing controversies.
Kanye’s Divorce
Kanye married Kim Kardashian in 2014, and they share four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. They divorced in 2022 after Kim filed in 2021.
The settlement gave them joint custody, but Kanye’s recent actions, like associating with controversial figures, prompted Kim to seek full custody, per TMZ.
Kanye then married Bianca Censori, an Australian model, in December 2022. Their marriage has been rocky, with divorce rumors since March 2025. Kanye’s song “BIANCA” confirmed a split, though recent sightings suggest they may have reconciled.
Who Is Kanye Dating Now?
Kanye is likely still with Bianca Censori, despite divorce buzz. The couple was spotted together in Spain on April 18, 2025, and posed for photos on April 21, hours after the incest claim.
Bianca, 30, has been controversial for her revealing outfits, like a near-nude dress at the 2025 Grammys. Some reports claim she considered divorce due to Kanye’s behavior but wants to start a family to stabilize their marriage. No other romantic partners have been confirmed.
Kanye’s latest controversy adds to his turbulent year. The release date for “Cousins” and CUCK remains unclear. Fans and critics await his next move, as his personal disclosures and public antics continue to dominate headlines.
