Kanye West

Kanye West has been on an active social media tear of late, and his stream-of-consciousness style of sharing his mind revealed a shocking admission. Referencing a track titled “COUSINS,” Kanye West shared that an older cousin currently behind bars engaged in sexual acts with him, prompting Ferg and Boosie BadAzz to speak out in support.
We do wish to warn readers that the details of this post might be disturbing to some.
Over the weekend, Kanye West took to X, formerly Twitter, and shared details about being exposed to adult magazines and such at a young age and how they led to him engaging in inappropriate acts with an older cousin. That same cousin, according to West, is a convicted murderer who allegedly killed a pregnant woman.

In the string of tweets, West wrote, “Perhaps in my self centered mess I felt it was my fault that I showed him [the cousin in reference] 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 My name is Ye and I sucked my cousins d*ck till I was 14.”
Some online have interpreted West’s words to imply he conducted the sexual acts on his  family member under his control and that the cousin was younger. However, it hasn’t been confirmed if the acts were consensual or not, as West didn’t explain the situation in linear detail, nor did he give a range of time.
Ferg, who shared a harrowing experience of abuse on the track “Pool” from his Darold album from 2024. Ferg took to X and wrote, “Good for @kanyewest now you can be whole. When people start to act out you never know the root of the issue ! Sending love brother your a goat.”
Boosie BadAzz also offered support, although a lot less eloquently than Ferg.
DAM KANYEI FEEL BAD FOR THIS DUDE THIS DUDE BEEN THREW SOME SH*T BRA. THE RANTS MAKE SINCE NOW. THIS MAN WAS SUCKING D*CK AS A CHILD SMH HIS MIND IS F*CKED UPI HATE HIM HAVING TO GO THROUGH THIS AS A CHILD.”
We’re sharing the X replies mentioned above in the playlist gallery, along with reactions from X.

It’s become obvious in 2025 that Kanye West will say and do damn near anything for attention, but would he lie about his marital status too?

Weeks after rapping about his wife, Bianca Censori, leaving him due to his online antics, Kanye West and Bianca were spotted heading to an intimate dinner together in Spain even though they are supposedly split up. According to Page Six, Yeezy and Bianca were seen entering an Indian restaurant in the Balearic Islands this past Friday (April 18). Of course Kanye made sure that his trophy wife wore something that showcased every curve that the good Lord blessed her with.

Per Page Six:

The “Carnival” hitmaker — who now goes by the name Ye — wore an oversized hoodie for the outing while Censori donned one of her usual skintight looks, wearing a black bodysuit.

Prior to their Spain outing, the rapper spent some time alone in Japan, where he fled to last month to “decompress” following his many divisive social media rants. 

Earlier this month, West rapped that Censori, 30, “ran away” from him on his track, “BIANCA,” which is featured on his new album “WW3.”

And here we were thinking she smartened up and got as far away from the self-destructive Yeezy as possible. A las, she did not, and that begs the question, did Kanye West lie about Bianca leaving him? Are they currently working on their marriage? At the time Page Six confirmed that Bianca did in fact leave Kanye, but with Kanye West, you just never know.

At the time, a source told us the former Yeezy architect left him because she had “had enough” of his antisemitic stunts after West started selling Swastika-branded shirts. 

“The swastika shirt [he was selling] was the last straw. She told him that’s not who she is, and that she can’t be associated with that,” a source said at the time.

On the flip side, Kanye West did in fact change his mind about being a Nazi. He took to X in a now deleted tweet to announce he no longer identifies as one. So there’s that…we guess.

What do y’all think about this latest twist in the Kanye West and Bianca Censori story? Let us know in the comments section below.

In what’s being called his most disturbing tweet yet, Kanye West allegedly posted a shocking confession that has sent the internet into chaos.

The tweet, which was reportedly deleted shortly after being published, contained a highly personal and graphic story involving his cousin, sparking immediate backlash and intense speculation. Screenshots of the post have circulated rapidly across social media platforms.

Allegedly, Ye introduced the tweet by referencing a song titled COUSINS, which he claimed was inspired by a relative serving a life sentence. The post then allegedly spiraled into a raw, emotional account of childhood trauma, early exposure to adult material, “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”.

It get’s even more weird where he openly admits to having sexual relations with his cousin growing up, “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 My name is Ye and I sucked my cousins d*ck till I was 14”

The beef with Kanye West and Taylor Swift continues. Sources say she is taking legal action against him after his latest slander campaign.

Athlon Sports is reporting that Taylor Swift is considering taking her grievances with Kanye West to a court of law. Earlier this week, Ye took to X, formerly Twitter, and had another brain dump regarding why he has yet to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime Show. “I never was allowed to do the Super Bowl because of 3 moments,” Ye wrote. “George Bush don’t care about black people. The Taylor Swift movement moment. Wearing a MAGA hat. How it feel to be the best living and blocked from the main stage because of being ahead of my time.” Of course, this assumption that Taylor Swift is somehow blocking his big moment soon picked up traction.

The Daily Mail spoke to a source that is said to be close to the “Shake It Off” singer and claims that she is considering taking legal action against Kanye West. “This time he has gone too far,” the source said. “His claims are not just false they are defamatory. This isn’t just [West] gossiping. This is [West] sexually harassing a woman, defaming her and intending to cause harm to her and to her career.” The unidentified contact also says that her boyfriend Travis Kelce also wants to confront [Ye] “man to man.”

The Taylor Swift and Kanye story dates back to the 2009 MTV Music Video Awards when West interrupted her acceptance speech and proclaimed that it should have gone to Beyoncé. “Yo, Taylor, I’m really happy for you. I’mma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time!” Since then the two have gone on to make amends but it didn’t last very long. 

Taylor Swift has yet to formally speak on the matter.

Kanye West hopped online and had the internet on fire again, this time with a mix of remorse and recklessness.

Ye started off by issuing a rare apology to Jay-Z for past disrespectful comments about his kids. “I’m sorry JAY-Z,” he wrote. “I be feeling bad about my tweet but I still feel I gave my life to this industry and thought so many people were my family but when I needed my family on some real shit none of these rap n-ggas had my back.”

It looked like Ye was finally trying to patch things up with Hov… but in true Kanye fashion, the peace didn’t last long. In the very same breath, Ye came for Taylor Swift with some jaw-dropping claims that had social media shook. He accused the pop star of having a threesome with Justin Bieber and Harry Styles, and said he was heated he wasn’t included. “I’ll show you an example of racism. Justin Bieber and Harry Styles had sex with Taylor Swift from both sides and didn’t call me,” Kanye posted. “ON EVERYTHIIING THIS TWEET IS ONE THOUSAND PERCENT TRUE.”

Kanye has been wildin’ on Twitter for a very long time. Letting off reckless tweets with no filter. He’s callin’ people out, droppin’ crazy claims, and just disrespecting his peers like it’s nothing. From taking shots at Taylor Swift to name-dropping other artists in messy situations, Ye’s got the timeline in a frenzy. Some fans think he’s just being Ye, but a lot of people are fed up, saying he’s doing too much and he’s crossing the line.
Check out some of the other wild tweets Ye’s been firing off below.

Travis was signed to Kanye’s label, G.O.O.D. Music, as a producer, and quickly became an integral part of Kanye’s creative process. He played a pivotal role in producing tracks for Kanye’s Yeezus album, Big Sean’s Dark Sky Paradise, and many of the GOOD Fridays songs. Travis has often referred to Kanye as a mentor, a figure who not only taught him about music but allowed him to experience firsthand the art of music creation.

In a recent interview, La Flame reflected on Ye’s influence in his life, saying, “That’s my kids’ uncle.” He described how Kanye took him in at a young age, when Travis was just 19, and helped shape his musical journey. According to Travis, Kanye’s mentorship extended beyond just teaching him; it was about collaborating and creating together. Travis expressed that his time working alongside Kanye played a crucial role in his growth, not only as a producer but as an artist in general, helping him hone his skills in music, film, fashion, and more.

Despite recent controversies surrounding Kanye, including his inflammatory comments online, some of which have targeted the Kardashian family, Travis emphasized the enduring bond they share. His children’s connection to the Kardashian family, with Kylie Jenner being his partner and Kim Kardashian’s sister, may have created tension between Kanye and the family. However, Travis kept it vague for the sake of the history between the two artists.

Hip-Hop’s first (probably) self-proclaimed Nazi, Kanye West, has made no bones about his disdain for the King of the North, Drake, over the last few years (before it was trendy to do so), and though he’s recently been sending shots at Drake’s rival, Kendrick Lamar, Yeezy is still taking the time to send shots at Drizzy to remind the Canadian crooner that there’s still no love lost between the two.

On his latest album, WWIII, Kanye goes full Nazi with his chorus on “Heil Hitler” (yes, you read that right) and in one of his bars bluntly throws a dart at Drizzy by saying “Ni**as be acting like f*ggots, I think they might be Drake,” before going on to say “All my ni**as Nazis, ni**a heil Hitler!”

Dissing a Black man who’s also half Jewish on a song that pays tribute to a historical villain who murdered millions of Jewish men, women and children during the Holocaust is something else. But hey, this is Kanye “MAGA” West in 2025. Nothing he does or says is shocking these days.

The song was previewed on a stream with Digital Nas, and while it was pretty disturbing to hear Kanye West go down this route on a record, the man has been saying for weeks now that he identifies as a Nazi and has even gone so far as to get a diamond encrusted swastika to show his allegiance to the fascist movement of the 1940s.

The new song comes a week after Yeezy previewed another song off of WWIII dubbed “BIANCA” in which he seemingly confirmed that his wife of two years, Bianca Censori, packed her bags and left him due to his outspokenness on X, which apparently became too much for her to bear as the man has been hard at work alienating everyone he could since the beginning of 2025.

We would say Kanye West needs help at this point, but who has the energy anymore.

Check out the preview to Kanye West’s “Heil Hitler” and let us know your thoughts on the man and his new direction in life in the comments section below.

Kanye West seems to confirm a split with his wife, Bianca Censori, in a new unreleased track from his upcoming album, WW3.

During a live stream with DJ Akademiks, Kanye previewed a song titled “Bianca,” where he sings, “My baby she ran away.” The lyrics appear to suggest that their relationship has hit a rough patch, and Kanye opens up about some of his personal struggles in dealing with it. In the song, Kanye also references a tense moment in his relationship with Bianca, revealing that she tried to get him mental treatment, but he refused.

Ye raps, “My baby ran away but first she tried to get me committed, Not going to the hospital because I am not sick I just don’t get it.” This line hints at a possible breakdown in communication or understanding between the two, adding another layer of complexity to their relationship.
Perhaps the most eyebrow-raising line comes when Kanye compares his relationship with Bianca to the controversial dynamic between Cassie and Diddy. He boldly states, “I’m tracking my b*tch through the city, I guess we the new Cassie and Diddy.” This bold statement suggests that Kanye and Bianca’s relationship is messy but still in the spotlight, with Kanye calling them the new “power couple” making waves in the media.
Kanye also hints at the influence of his late mother, Donda West, on his music. He adds, “I’m making this song for Bianca, I’m feeling the spirit of Donda.” This statement could suggest that Kanye is channeling his emotional experiences and memories of his mother into his new music, blending personal pain with creative expression.
Check out the snippet below:

Kanye West reveals in his song “BIANCA” from his new album BULLY that Bianca left him after having a panic attack over his posts on X. He says he had to track her using the Maybach app after she ran off with his Maybach 👀

For years now people have been wondering “How does she put up with that?” whenever referencing Bianca Censori’s marriage to the polarizing and seemingly off-kilter Kanye West. Now it looks like that will be a question of the past as Kanye says his wife of almost three years has walked out on him, allegedly.

According to Page Six, Kanye West spilled the tea about his marital status on a new song off his latest album WW3, and truth be told, we just wonder what took Censori this long to make that move (no shots). In the bars that Kanye spit on the track dubbed “BIANCA” (of course), Kanye stated that his tweets were the catalyst for Censori’s departure as his now infamous X meltdowns became too much for his wife to handle and ultimately led her to run for the hills.

Per Page Six:

The disgraced rapper details that the Australian architect had a “panic attack” as a result of the vile hate he has continuously spewed on X in his new song titled “BIANCA.”

“My baby she ran away / But first she tried to get me committed / Not going to the hospital ’cause I am not sick I just do not get it,” West raps on the track from his new album “WW3” out Thursday.

“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.”

The “Jesus Walks” rapper, 47, further confesses to tracking her location through his Maybach app.

“I’m tracking my b–h through an app / I’m tracking my b–h through the city,” he sings. “She hop in the car and she ran / My b–h just don’t understand / Sometimes it just feel like it’s planned.”

Just from the lyrics alone you’d understand why Bianca tried to have Kanye “committed” as the man seems to be a bit off his rocker. Not to mention the artwork for the song is a swastika as the self-proclaimed Nazi has a new affinity for the classic symbol of hate these days.

The song comes after months of speculation that Kanye and Bianca were headed to divorce court, which prompted a statement from Kanye’s rep denying the rumors that the two had split.

But now that Kanye is basically confirming that his second wife has made a break for it, we can only wonder which woman will be brave enough to take on a relationship with the embattled and enigmatic music icon. But until we find out who that brave (or crazy) woman is, Kanye is still leaving the door open for a reunion with his 30-year-old wife.

Ye concluded his track with, “Bianca, I just want you to come back / Come back to me / I know what I did to make you mad.”

Good luck with that, b.

What do y’all think about Kanye saying Bianca Censori left him? Do you think she’s coming back? Could he be cappin’ to generate some music buzz? Let us know in the comments section below.

Kanye West has once again found himself at the center of an X storm, this time directing his ire at rapper J. Cole.

The drama ignited when a fan posted a clip from Cole’s verse on Benny the Butcher’s “Johnny P’s Caddy,” claiming that Cole had spared Kendrick Lamar in the 2024 rap battle. The tweet suggested that Cole’s absence in the aftermath left Kendrick to dominate Drake, which rubbed Ye the wrong way. Kanye fired back with a rant that quickly spiraled out of control.

Kanye’s frustration boiled over as he expressed his distaste for J. Cole’s music, tweeting, “I hate J Cole music so much. It’s like between Kendrick and J Cole I bet you industry plants have been accosted with a J Cole Super Bowl commercial with no SZA song to save it.”
This bizarre statement set the tone for a series of increasingly absurd comments, including a strange jibe at J. Cole’s fanbase: “No one listens to J. Cole after losing their virginity.” The outburst seemed to hit a personal nerve, as Kanye continued to fuel the fire with more vitriol. The feud took an interesting turn when fans resurfaced J. Cole’s 2016 track “False Prophets,” a song many speculated was about Kanye himself.
The timing of Kanye’s rant seemed eerily similar to the themes in the track. With the sequence of events unfolding almost like the song’s lyrics, fans couldn’t help but draw comparisons, suggesting that the feud was a full-circle moment.
