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?”
MGK has unveiled his high energy new single “Fix Ur Face” featuring Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst.
The intense collaboration sees the rapper turned rocker dive deeper into the hard hitting sound he has been refining over the past few years.
Fusing the raw edge of 90s nu metal with Machine Gun Kelly’s modern alternative style, the track stands out as one of his most aggressive releases so far.
The song dropped alongside a bold black and white video, which premiered across MTV Live, MTVU, and the Paramount Times Square billboards.
Directed by frequent collaborator Sam Cahill, the visual was shot in several cities during mgk’s lost americana tour, including Berlin, Dublin, Düsseldorf, London, Prague, Cologne, Nashville and Los Angeles. It highlights the intensity and intimacy of touring, from packed venues and sweat drenched crowds to the blurred line between performer and fans.
The track was created with his close knit creative team, including SlimXX, BazeXX, RookXX, Nick Long, and No Love For The Middle Child, giving it a gritty and multi generational energy that sets it apart from today’s mainstream rock and rap.
Durst brings a high powered performance, channeling the same raw intensity that shaped Limp Bizkit’s early era.
The video’s look was further developed by street artists Lugosis and Strato, who painted a large mural in Berlin, while Slawn Olaolu designed the character face and jackets featured throughout the clip, adding a distinct DIY feel.
MGK first previewed “Fix Ur Face” during the European run of the lost americana tour, then later shared a snippet during shows in Australia, building strong anticipation among fans.
His relationship with Durst stretches back over a decade, with the two having performed together on multiple occasions, including mgk’s 2014 tour alongside Limp Bizkit.
The lost americana tour is now set to return to the United States, resuming on May 15 with Wiz Khalifa joining as support.
