Ye, or Kanye West, is no stranger to controversy and his X feed is a minefield of comments against Jews. The rapper has often publicly proclaimed his love for Hitler as well. Even as fans and followers are accustomed to Ye's eccentricities, a recent post from the Stronger singer has garnered reactions from all quarters.
The 47-year-old posted about his apparent incestuous relationship with his cousin.
Sharing a song, Ye said it was called 'Cousins' because it was about his cousin who was behind bars. Then, the rapper dove into the events that unfolded.

Ye's cousin is apparently "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 continued "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."
Ye then added, "My dad had playboy magazines but the magazines I found in the top of my moms closet were different."
He concluded the message on an emphatic note, claiming "My name is Ye and I sucked my cousins d**k till I was 14." He ended by saying "Tweet sent."
While Ye did not share the cousin's name, he has spoken about him in the past as well. The Grammy Award winner, on Jimmy Kimmel's show, had said that his cousin had done a bad thing, but he loved him nonetheless.
Ye was recently in headlines, when his partner Bianca Censori turned heads with a nude dress at the most recent Grammy awards. The two were spotted together in Spain soon after the singer made his shocking confession.
While many have replied to Ye's post expressing support, there have been some detractors, with one pointing to the rapper's marketing genius and ability to drive content by leveraging the shock factor.
