Kanye’s Shocking Confession Has The Internet In Shambles
Kanye West has said some outta-pocket things before, but this time? He took it to a whole other level. Ye shared one of the most disturbing confessions folks have ever seen from a celebrity.
While teasing his upcoming project, Kanye let fans know he’s dropping a track called “Cousins,” and that’s when things got real dark, real fast.
“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.”
He then added, “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 mom’s closet were different.”
Then, with no warning, Kanye dropped the line that made everybody’s jaws hit the floor: “My name is Ye and I sucked my cousins elek till I was 14. Tweet sent.”
The internet couldn’t believe what they were seeing. Kanye been open about trauma, losing his mama, falling out with Jay-Z, and everything else under the sun—but this confession? Nah, this hit different.
Social Media Split Between Shock, Concern, And Disbelief
Right after that tweet, folks were in pure disbelief. Some tried to make jokes, others got real serious about the trauma. One user tweeted: “Idk how anyone could laugh at this. This is childhood trauma not to be taken lightly.”
Comedian Lil Duval chimed in like only he could: “Kanye just said he sucked his cousin dick til he was 14. I can’t wait to hear his fans defend this shit.”
People are torn between feeling sorry for Ye and not knowing how to even process what they just read. For some, it’s yet another cry for help. For others, it’s a disturbing overshare they never asked for.
And let’s be real—when you say something like that on the internet, it don’t disappear. Screenshots got it forever.
Still, this isn’t just about a wild tweet. It’s about a man who’s clearly trying to unpack some deep, unresolved pain in public. But how much is too much?
Trauma, Oversharing, Or Artistic Expression?
Kanye’s fans—and even his critics—have seen him spiral online before. From posting contracts to beefing with Kim, Ye never holds back. But some are wondering if this latest confession is a desperate attempt at healing or just pure chaos for attention.
And it’s worth asking… should we be listening with compassion, or logging off for our own peace?
This isn’t the first time Ye has connected trauma to sexual experiences, religion, or family. But by openly admitting to acts of incest—whether it was consensual or not—he’s opened a floodgate that no PR team can close.
One fan wrote, “Kanye’s story is clearly deeper than music. He’s trying to process trauma publicly, but the internet ain’t always the safest place to do that.”
So… What Happens Now?
Right now, Kanye hasn’t deleted the tweet. He hasn’t clarified it. He just dropped that bomb and kept it moving. Whether or not the tweet stays up, people will be talking about it for a long time.
