Many suggest that Ye made the public admission in order to remove a potential topic of blackmail from those in higher power.
Ye published a new song on X with the caption:
"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".
Ye continued, "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 My dad had playboy magazines but the magazines I found in the top of my moms closet were different".
He concluded, "My name is Ye and I s***ed my cousins d*** till I was 14 Tweet sent".
It appears that Ye removed users' ability to embed the video; but you can find it here.
The post comes after much controvery has occurred surrounding Ye's previous statements about Hitler, Nazis, Jews in media, and other inflammatory topics.
This is a developing story.
