Kanye West reveals past sexual relationship with male cousin
Kanye West detailed a years-long sexual relationship with an unnamed cousin in his latest social media outburst.
In a post on X, Ye claims his new song 'Cousins' is about how he and a now-incarcerated cousin sexually experimented with each other when they were children.
'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,' the 47-year-old 'Runaway' rapper 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,' he continued.
The song — through a video that appears to be a mix of found footage and animation — is also included in the post.
The lyrics offer more details of the supposed relationship.
'Hanging with my cousin reading dirty magazines,' the tune begins with the pair looking at male-on-male scenes and being confused by 'what that s–t mean' before reenacting everything that we had seen.'
Ye goes on to rap about not wanting to be judged and asking his cousin to not talk about the experience.
A new chorus describes using nitrous oxide and Percocet in order to sleep and hoping a woman will stay with him.
Ye said in an earlier tweet that his next album was now titled 'Cuck.'
The purported admission adds to a growing list of questionable behavior from the rapper.
Ye's Monday morning overshare comes less than a month after he donned a black KKK robe and told an interviewer he never wanted children with Kim Kardashian. The couple share four children and divorced in 2022.
He has also continued making defenses of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, including allegedly harassing Jewish employees, selling a swastika t-shirt on his website and initially using the symbol as the cover art for his newest album.

Kanye West Has Apparently Changed His Name… Again
Ye has apparently switched up his moniker yet again, nearly four years after he legally renounced his birth name, Kanye Omari West. In business documents obtained by multipleoutlets on Tuesday, the rapper was listed under the name 'Ye Ye.' West's chief financial officer, Hussain Lalani, reportedly filed the documents with the California Secretary of State. 'Ye Ye' was listed as the 'manager or member' of West's companies Yeezy Apparel, Yeezy Record Label and Ox Paha Inc. in the documents, according to E! News. It's unclear whether the 'Power' musician, who has not publicly announced his new moniker, has filed separate documents to legally change his name again. Ye's representatives did not immediately reply to HuffPost's request for comment. In October 2021, a Los Angeles judge approved the 24-time Grammy winner's petition to officially change his name to Ye after he requested the name change in August. Several years earlier, in a 2018 post on what was then Twitter, the artist had written, 'The being formally known as Kanye West. I am YE.' That same year, Ye spoke to radio host Big Boy about the meaning behind the name. 'I believe Ye is the most commonly used word in the Bible,' he said in the June 2018 interview. 'In the Bible it means 'you.' So I'm you, I'm us. It went from being Kanye, which means the only one, to being just Ye — just being a reflection of our good, our bad, our confused, everything. I'm just more a reflection of who we are.'

After alleged juror threats, jury finds Harvey Weinstein guilty of sexual assault
June 11 (UPI) -- Former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein is guilty of sexual assault, a New York jury determined Wednesday amid courtroom chaos when a juror allegedly threatened another. The Manhattan Supreme Court jury of seven women and five men found Weinstein, 73, guilty of sexually assaulting Miriam Haley but acquitted him of the same charge regarding Kaja Sokola, the New York Daily News reported. The jury delivered the split verdict following five days of deliberations. Still to be decided is a charge of third-degree rape of accuser Jessica Mann, who said Weinstein raped her in 2013. Haley and Sokola said Weinstein performed oral sex on them with force and without their permission in separate instances in 2006. A courtroom outburst preceded the reading of Wednesday's verdicts, when a juror reportedly yelled at another: "I'll meet you outside one day." The outburst spurred Weinstein's legal team to request a mistrial, including attorney Arthur Aidala, who accused the juror of criminal "menacing and harassment." Weinstein sat in a wheelchair during the six-week trial after recently undergoing emergency surgery on his heart in September. He also was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer in October. After the outburst inside the courtroom, Weinstein told Justice Curtis Farber the jury's actions make it impossible for him to get a fair trial. "We've heard threats. We've heard intimidation. We've heard fights," he said. "This is not right for me, the person that's on trial here." The jury foreman told Farber some jurors were "attacking" each other and said, "I can't go back in there with the other jurors." The foreman first notified the judge of problems among jurors on Monday and said the situation "isn't very good." Farber asked the jury to deliver its partial verdict and told the jurors to go home early to give them time away from each other before resuming deliberating the remaining charge on Thursday. The guilty verdict for sexual assault could put Weinstein in prison for up to 25 years, minus time already served after a 2020 conviction on the charge. Weinstein has maintained his innocence and said all sexual encounters were consensual. A jury trial in 2020 found Weinstein guilty on all charges against him, but an appellate court last year overturned the verdict due to testimony by witnesses regarding unrelated events and allegations. Weinstein co-founded Miramax and won an Oscar for producing "Shakespeare in Love." He also produced award-winning films "Pulp Fiction," "The English Patient" and "Good Will Hunting," among others.
