‘My cousin did a bad thing, but I still love him’: Kanye West in 2018

Kanye dropped a bombshell on social media when he revealed he had a years-long, incestuous relationship with one of his cousins. Kanye's fans are clearly shocked as no one saw such admission coming. In a post on X, Ye mentioned that his new song Cousins revolves around how he and a now-incarcerated cousin sexually experimented with each other when they were kids.

“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,” the Runaway rapper posted on X.
