Kanye West claims he had 'incestuous relationship with cousin' as a child
Kanye West has claimed he had an incestuous relationship with a male cousi when he was a child. While promoting his new song, COUSINS, on X/ Twitter, he said he and his cousin used to "act out" what they saw in pornographic magazines. He also shared a snippet of the song, which featured blurred visuals and semi-pornographic images stitched together.
In the song, the controversial rapper could be heard rapping about when he found adult magazines in his late mother's closet. Detailing the inspiration for the song, he claimed it was about his cousin and the alleged incestuous relationship. The All Of The Lights star did not reveal the name of his cousin.
He claimed in the tweet which has been viewed by 4.4 million people: "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.
"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**k till I was 14 Tweet sent."
Kanye has never disclosed who the cousin is but previously brought up a cousin during an interview in 2018. Speaking to Jimmy Kimmel, he said: "My cousin is locked up for murder and I love him. So he did a bad thing, but I still love him."
Five years ago, Kim Kardashian mentioned the incarcerated cousin in Kim Kardashian West: The Justice Project. The only thing known about the cousin was the fact he was convicted of murder at the age of 17.
Speaking to Marc Howard, president of the Frederick Douglass Project for Justice and director of Georgetown University's Prisons and Justice Initiative, Kim explained: "[Kanye's] cousin has a double life sentence for a murder that he committed when he was 17."
Kanye has been hitting headlines in recent months after making misogynistic, antisemitic, and many other offensive comments on Twitter.

BBC One's Destination X had TV viewers complaining on social media after the latest twist hugely impacted the contestants Viewers of Destination X were left 'gutted' by the latest twist in the popular BBC show, with many voicing the same grievance. The reality programme returned to our telly screens on Wednesday (20 August) with another episode, which saw remaining contestants Nick, Saskia, Judith, Daren, Josh and Claire tackle the latest challenge on the Destination X bus. Regrettably, Nick found himself bidding farewell to the BBC show after his location prediction was the furthest away from the group's actual location, which was revealed to be Pula, Croatia. Fans at home were left heartbroken by Nick's departure from the show, with many taking to social media to vent their disappointment. "I am so gutted, I really thought that Nick would get to the final and win! ! #DestinationX," one person posted on Twitter, now X, while a second said: "I'm in mourning for nick from #DestinationX." A third viewer said: "I haven't watched #DestinationX for long but I'm really sad to see Nick go, that was so unlucky, Could've won," and another added: "Nick was great. Sorry to see him go. #DestinationX." A fifth Destination X fan said: "#DestinationX going to be really boring now Nick's gone. Let's see how they get on without the strongest player on board." Speaking after he was told he was the latest contestant to be eliminated, Nick said: "Stepping off the bus here is frustrating, because I said it as I was placing it. "I couldn't quite find where I needed to be, which was a shame. It's been great, it's been a great experience. It's been really horrible and hard at times, lots of lessons learned. "The social dilemmas, the decision-making, what to tell to who and when, is very draining. The game is hard."

"I really don't think he's as bad a person as some people started to think. I think the game was just the first thing he thought about, the last thing he thought about when he went to bed. I think he was just so in it," Judith revealed to her fellow Destination X participants.

Kanye West fans label Bianca Censori 'classy and cool' as she debuts new reserved look
Kanye West's wife Bianca Censori has turned heads with a much more reserved look as she traded her usual barely-there ensembles for a full trench coat and statement boots Kanye West 's wife Bianca Censori is drawing attention for toning down her famously provocative fashion choices while spending more time with West's children. Known for her highly revealing outfits, including a candy bra in New York and a see-through bodysuit at the Grammys, the Australian model, 30, has frequently sparked controversy in Europe and the U.S. for outfits that pushed boundaries of public decency. Most recently, she was reportedly at risk of arrest during a bold photoshoot in New York City, where she wore minimal clothing on the street. It comes after Kanye's ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, was left in floods of tears over their split during an intense trailer. However, earlier this month, the 30-year-old appeared to shift her style completely. While accompanying three of West and Kim Kardashian 's children, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6, to a Los Angeles movie theater, Censori wore a full-length trench coat, newsboy cap, and thigh-high silver boots. The more conservative look stood in stark contrast to her usual public appearances and fans couldn't help but notice that Kanye's eldest child, daughter North West, 12, was not present during the outing. Taking to Reddit and X to discuss her new look, one fan wrote: "Honestly? She looks amazing covered up. Still stylish, just less shock value." Another echoed: "This is a serve. Classy and cool and I'm loving this side of Bianca.' Someone else added: "She looks more confident dressed down than she ever did in the wild outfits." The Australian model's new look comes after her recent string of revealing outfits that led to her Instagram account to be deactivated. The page, which previously featured her fashion content, now displays the message: "Sorry, this page isn't available. The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed." Fans speculated about the disappearance of her profile, with one Reddit user writing, 'She just deactivated, she does this pretty often. She'll be back.' Another added, 'She deleted her IG [don't worry] gang.' Her last known public appearance before the account was taken down included walking through New York City in little more than black underwear and a sheer top. Last month, she also wore a revealing bodysuit in Spain and previously turned heads at the Grammy Awards when she removed a dramatic coat to reveal a nude-colored sheer dress. As of now, she has not addressed the account deactivation or commented on whether her recent wardrobe shift marks a permanent change in direction.

EastEnders' George Knight's 'death sealed' as disturbing storyline 'begins'
George Knight may have landed himself in trouble on the Square during tonight's EastEnders, as dealer Okie said he could make the boxer 'disappear' if he needed to George Knight was left reeling in tonight's EastEnders, as he tried to find out who had given his younger brother Kojo drugs - but he may have landed himself in big trouble, as Okie made it clear that he wanted him gone. Last night, George found his brother lying on a bench, after Okie had given him a pill to 'calm down'. During tonight's episode, the former Queen Vic landlord enlisted the help of Albert Square police officer Jack, who said he'd have to arrest Kojo. George tried to convince Jack not to take things further, but whether he will do, is still unknown. Although Kojo may be safe, it doesn't look like the same thing can be said for George. The worrying storyline comes after Colin Salmon teased he'd be part of a 'disturbing storyline' during an interview on Good Morning Britain last week. With Kojo not revealing who he got the pill from, George was certain Harry was the culprit, as he marched over to Harry's Barn to confront him. The confrontation turned violent, with the boxer strangling Nicola's son, as he could barely breathe. Nicola and Teddy convinced George to let go of their son, but George wasn't letting things go. "I know you were involved in this somehow," he said. "I can see it on your face. Don't try and deny it. Know that I will find out the truth, yeah?" he said, before storming out of the establishment. A fuming Harry later confronted Okie, scolding him for giving the pills to Kojo, but it was Okie who lost his temper in later scenes - as he asked Harry where George lived. Of course, Harry didn't let slip. "So we're just going to let him mouth off to the public?", Okie exclaimed. "What do you think Ravi's going to do when he finds out the feds are on us again?" "All I'm saying is you don't know him and what he's capable of," Harry responded. "You don't know what I'm capable off!" Okie exclaimed. "So if this Kojo's brother's going to become a problem, we're going to have to make him disappear," he said, as he showed off a gun under his belt. But could this be the end for George? Some fans think so. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one wrote: "They've hinted a potential death or prison exit tonight for George - He's already on a suspended sentence so he wouldn't want to take the risk of attacking Okie in case he ends up in prison or worse case scenario dead." "Depending on how nebulous this Kojo/Harry/George/Ravi story is will Phil get involved later down the line? Julies taking over with Nigel and if something happens to George, Phil could come into it?", questioned another. Another tweet read: "They've hinted tonight that George could end up dead - or seriously hurt but I hope this doesn't happen. Although once the police get hold of Harry it won't be long until the feds close in on Okie and Ravi again. I'm intrigued by Ravi's next move here." Last week, during his GMB interview, George teased: "We've got another storyline you haven't seen before. I did the farming storyline, we have another storyline that is perfect for this time, it's real, it's really disturbing and it's coming. I can't tell you what it is." Could this be the beginning of the end?
