Kanye “Ye” West has made countless headlines for variety of reasons. From his relationships to controversial statements, the most recent claim the rapper made was that he engaged in an incestuous relationship with a cousin when he was a teenager. The news came shortly after his split from wife Bianca Censori emerged.
In an April 2025 X post, West wrote, “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 name is Ye and I sucked my cousins d**k till I was 14 [sic].”

In another verse, West raps that people “tell me to take it to my grave” but acknowledges the “truth will set you free someday.”

“My baby she ran away / But first she tried to get me committed,” West raps in one verse. “Not going to the hospital ’cause I am not sick I just do not get it. She’s having a panic attack and she is not liking the way that I tweeted / Until Bianca’s back I stay up all night I’m not going to sleep / I really don’t know where she’s at.”
However, in April 2025, Page Six reported that West and Censori were spotted on a dinner date in Spain.
