Ye has made a shocking confession about his past, and he shared the details in a new song.
On Monday, April 21, the artist formerly known as Kanye West posted a new song called "COUSINS." In it, he claims he had an incestuous relationship with his male cousin, who’s currently incarcerated for murder charges. Ye said he sexually experimented with his cousin was 6 and it continued until Ye was 14.
"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 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," 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 d**k till I was 14."
The song appears to have a sample of Playboi Carti’s "They thought I was gay" lyric from his song "New Tank." Ye also included some visuals with his song that contain a mixture of mature content and animated images.
Ye also claimed their experimentation may have inspired detrimental choices they made later in life. His cousin is reportedly serving a double life sentence in prison after he allegedly killed a pregnant woman. The Chicago native previously advocated for his cousin and once shouted him out in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel in 2018.
"My cousin is locked up for murder and I love him," he said, per TMZ. "So he did a bad thing, but I still love him."
