Kanye West has released a new song where he admits to molesting his male cousin when they were children.

Released on Monday (April 21), “COUSIN” finds Ye talking about finding apparently gay magazines in his mom’s closet and reenacting what he saw with his younger cousin.

In a post to X, he explained: “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 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.”

He continued: “My dad had playboy magazines but the magazines I found in the top of my moms closet were different. My name is Ye and I sucked my cousins dick till I was 14. Tweet sent.”

In a second tweet, he declared: “I changed my album name to CUCK.”

A cuck – short for cuckhold – is used to describe a man who allows other men to have sex with his partner as he watches, so take that as you wish…

The day prior, Kanye West revealed on X that he and JAY-Z butted heads over Hov’s verse on the Donda track — specifically Jay’s critique of his support for Donald Trump.

“Hol’ up, Donda, I’m with your baby when I touch back road / Told him, ‘Stop all of that red cap, we goin’ home,’” Hov rapped on the song, referencing Ye’s penchant for wearing a red Make American Great Again hat at the time.

Revisiting the friction surrounding the collaboration, Kanye tweeted: “Why did Jay Z have to say ‘no red hat’ on ‘Jail.’ That shit tore me to my soul. We fought about it and he told me either leave that line on there or take my verse off.”

The Chicago native then suggested that JAY-Z’s lyrics were part of a larger conspiracy against him, asking his followers: “Me wearing the red hat was the most stand out example of me going against ‘the program.’ Do you guys think he was instructed to say that?”

ICEMAN is already shaping up to be one of Drake’s most debated releases yet. Still, a few records stand out no matter where people land on the project. “2 Hard 4 The Radio” is definitely one of them. On the track, Drake fires back at the criticism he has faced from Kendrick Lamar while leaning into a West Coast inspired sound, especially during the second half of the song, to drive the message home. The production sticks with you, and Drake sounds locked in from start to finish. Whether listeners agree with his perspective or not is another conversation entirely. In the end, it is one of those songs you have to hear for yourself and make your own judgment on.

Quotable Lyrics from 2 Hard 4 The Radio

To talk bad about you pussies, I don't like you fools
Got an Oakland show tonight, baby
My young boys from The Yoc goin' crazy
I'm on a bridge with a tank of unleade
