Who is Kanye West's cousin in jail for murder as rapper releases shocking new track
Controversial rapper Kanye West has shocked once again with the release of his latest song, Cousins, that details his alleged incestuous relationship with a male cousin
Kayne West has made a series of shocking revelations once again and this time about his troubled childhood. The controversial rapper, who has shocked with his headline-grabbing stunts, has now released a brand new track with some very jaw-dropping lyrics.
Kanye, also known as Ye, made a claim about having incestuous relationship with a male cousin when he was a child in his song Cousins. While he has not named the cousin, he claims the relative is now locked behind bars for murder.
In a post on X, the musician claimed the pair would "act out" what they saw in pornographic magazines. The song has sparked an intense response online after it was released on Monday as the explicit track claims to detail a harrowing experience from Kayne's past.
He wrote: "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"
While Kanye has not disclosed the identity of his cousin in the track, he has previously spoke about an incarcerated relative. During an interview in 2018 with 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."
His ex-wife Kim Kardashian has also spoke of an incarcerated family member. 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."
Kim said that Kayne's aunt had accepted her son's fate. She added: "She's like, 'I'm not even that distraught anymore. Like, that's just what happens to the kids in our neighbourhood.' There's just no other choice."
The song that has shocked fans kicks off: "I saw you outside again, just hanging out with your friends. Hanging with my cousin, reading dirty magazines."
He continues: "Then we start re-enacting everything that we had seen. That's when I gave my cousin head, gave my cousin head. Gave my cousin head, I gave my cousin head. I gave my cousin head.
"Told my cousin not to tell nobody (Please, no, don't tell nobody). People tell me take it to my grave. 'Truth will set you free someday'. I don't think they understand That I'm not attracted to a man (They thought I was gay)."

‘My baby died after I was left alone by midwives in Welsh hospital'
'My baby died after I was left alone by midwives in Welsh hospital' Emily Brazier gave birth to Liliwen Thomas at University Hospital of Wales in the absence of medics and midwives Emily Brazier, pictured with partner Rhodri Thomas, claims their baby daughter Liliwen Iris Thomas died after she'd been left alone by midwives during labour (Image: Slater and Gordon ) A woman claims her baby died after she'd been left alone by midwives while she gave birth. Emily Brazier gave birth to daughter Liliwen Iris Thomas at University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff on October 10, 2022 in the absence of midwives or nurses who did not know she was giving birth. Emily claimed she had been given so much pain relief after being induced that she wasn't able to call for help and didn't realise she was in labour. Despite having a high-risk pregnancy and having been monitored by medics prior to going into labour, Emily said no-one was present in the room at the hospital when she had Liliwen, who died 20 hours later after being starved of oxygen. On Wednesday Cardiff and Vale University Health Board issued a statement saying its 'sincere thoughts and heartfelt condolences' were with Emily and her family. An inquest is due to take place and the health board said they will comment further after the conclusion of the hearing. Emily claimed: 'I'm angry at how I was left alone. For all the checks I had during my pregnancy, what were they for if I was going to be abandoned when it really mattered? 'Being left unattended with the gas and air, which I heavily overused due to non-existent monitoring, I then vividly remember peeling back the covers and seeing Liliwen there, completely still and lifeless. I can only describe it as a blood bath. That image will be with me forever. I still have flashbacks and nightmares and have been in counselling since.' Emily's partner and Liliwen's father Rhodri Thomas said he wasn't there at the time because of the health board's policy of partners and friends not being allowed to be on the ward between 9pm and 9am. Article continues below He said partners are allowed on the ward if the mother is in active labour. 'I should have been there,' he said. 'I would have pressed the call bell and alerted midwives.' Emily Brazier and Rhodri Thomas with daughter Liliwen Iris Thomas, who died hours after her birth in hospital (Image: Slater and Gordon ) Emily was closely monitored throughout her pregnancy and was undergoing induction due to her having low pregnancy associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) – the same as she had with her older daughter Carys. She was under the care of a consultant during her pregnancy with Liliwen and had several scans over the months to ensure the baby's welfare. As part of her monitoring, it was flagged that when giving birth to Carys three years previously, her labour progressed extremely quickly after she was given pethidine and entonox pain medication, which she was administered again for Liliwen's birth. Stay informed on the latest health news by signing up to our newsletter here Liliwen was due on October 7 so Emily was booked in for an induction under PAPP-A protocols, but twice was sent home due to lack of bed availability. When Emily was eventually induced on October 9, as her labour progressed she was told there was no room in the delivery suite. Emily was given pethidine and codeine for pain relief and claimed she was left unattended with gas and air at around 11.50pm. At 2.15am on October 10 Emily recalls 'being in a cycle of puffing gas and air, passing out, and repeating'. She recalled: 'They took Liliwen away and rushed me up to the delivery suite, I had lost a lot of blood and needed stitches, IV fluids and a blood transfusion. All this happened while I was still on the induction ward with only curtains around my bed separating me from four other women. It must have been horrendous for them too.' Rhodri claimed he was not informed of what had happened at the hospital other than Emily had gone into labour. When he arrived he said he believed he was about to meet his newborn daughter. 'I got a taxi to the hospital and remember talking to the taxi driver excitedly about how I was about to meet my newborn child,' he said. 'When I got there and saw Emily, she was white as a ghost and in a bad way, she told me: 'I don't know if our baby is alive.'' The baby died at University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff in October 2022 and an inquest is due to take place (Image: WalesOnline/Rob Browne ) Although Liliwen was put on life support she died later that same day. Her cause of death was given as perinatal asphyxia (lack of oxygen at birth), congenital bacterial infection and placental problems. Since that time, Emily and Rhodri say they have struggled psychologically, and Emily – who was studying to be a nurse at the time she had Liliwen – has opted against a career as a registered nurse after the trauma she suffered on a hospital ward. While the couple welcomed their third child, a son named Ellis, in December 2024, Emily says the grief of the loss of Liliwen continues to cast a shadow over the family's lives. 'So many happy memories and special family moments are tinged with sadness," she said. "I dread family events and Christmas as Liliwen will never be there, she will always be the missing piece, her death should never have happened and that's hard to live with.' A spokesperson for Cardiff and Vale University Health Board said: 'Our sincere thoughts and heartfelt condolences remain with Liliwen's family during this incredibly difficult time. The health board is fully engaged with the inquest process and it would be inappropriate to comment further until the inquest concludes.' Article continues below

The model appeared to be wearing a black durag over her brunette locks for the images. Bianca married controversial rapper Kanye in 2022 - and is rarely seen away from his side. The pair said "I Do" mere weeks after his divorce from Kim Kardashian was finalized. They then proceeded to vacation around the world - making headlines due to their NSFW displays. Their most shocking came earlier this year at the Grammys when Bianca stripped off and bared her totally naked body on the red carpet. When the couple arrived together at the event back in February, Bianca was seen rocking a massive black fur coat that she slowly removed to reveal her naked body. The pair have managed to shut down divorce claims, despite not being publicly together since their naked Grammys stunt in February. The pair have continued to defy split rumors in recent weeks jetting off to Spain for "crisis talks," a source claims. During the European getaway, the rapper shared a photo of Bianca wearing a strapless silver corset bodysuit and a pair of leather thigh high boots. Bianca Censori reveals bare butt in leather thong bodysuit as she straddles husband Kanye West in Spain MARITAL ISSUES? Despite putting on a united front, sources recently told The U.S. Sun that Kanye is preventing Bianca from accepting lucrative brand deals, adding strain to their relationship. Insiders have revealed growing tensions over her stalled career ambitions. Bianca is reportedly "very frustrated" by Kanye's opposition, as she is eager to establish independence in her career and earn significant money. The architect has her heart set on carving out her own path in the fashion world. "She knows she could make tons of money," a source said. "She wants to explore opportunities as a model, brand ambassador, and a talented individual - not just someone living in the shadow of her husband. But Kanye keeps shutting her down." The insider claims Bianca could earn up to "$6 million" annually through endorsement deals and other projects. "She misses being active," said another source. "She keeps pushing for more independence, but he always says no, and she won't accept a deal without his approval." Bianca Censori and Kanye West's relationship Bianca Censori was born on January 5, 1995, in Melbourne, Australia Before her current full-time job, the 30-year-old started a jewelry company called Nylons after leaving high school. After working as a student architect for three years, she completed a master's degree between 2019 and 2020 ahead of moving to Los Angeles. In a radio interview, a childhood friend of Bianca's claimed that Kanye slid into her DMs on Instagram. The rapper reportedly said, "Come and work for me." At which point she says the designer moved to LA to join his company Yeezy as the "head of architecture" - and has been since November 2020. WEDDING BELLS On Friday, October 6, 2023, The Daily Mail reported Kanye and Bianca wed on December 20, 2022. The couple tied the knot under a "confidential marriage license" in the state of California. The two wed in Palo Alto, California, according to the document. The wedding came just one month after Kanye and Kim Kardashian finalized their divorce. 5 Bianca married the controversial rapper in 2022 Credit: Getty

Katie Price pull out of joint tour with Kerry Katona and issues statement
Katie Price has quit her UK tour with Kerry Katona due to 'childcare commitments' leaving the entire 38-date tour in jeopardy three months before first show Katie Price has confirmed that she has made the decision to quit her 38-date UK tour with Kerry Katona, over "childcare commitments." The pair, who first met while on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here back in 2004, were set to embark on a nationwide tour together, which had been titled An Evening with Katie and Kerry - On Tour. It remains unknown whether Kerry, 44, will fulfil her side of the agreement and tour by herself or if the entire tour will be cancelled. A source claimed the model is 'gutted' and 'tried everything she could' in order to make the tour work, but has been forced to pull out of the tour. The source claimed to The Sun: "She hates letting her fans down and hopes to be able to do something similar in the future. At the moment, it's unclear whether Kerry will continue without her or if the whole tour will be scrapped." Keen to quell speculation of a rift between the two, the source claimed that both women are "still best of mates, but it's a huge blow to their fans." And a representative for Katie, 47, who is a mother of five confirmed: "Yes, that's correct. Kate has childcare commitments that come first." The first show was scheduled to be held at Ellesmere Port on September 11 and the tour was set to end in October 22 in Hull. The premise of the show was to treat fans to anecdotes of their two decade friendship, their marriages, divorces and bankruptcy issues. The tour was also set to address their time on I'm A Celebrity, family values and their journey towards turning their lives around, along with audience participation. Promoting their show before the shock announcement, a post on a ticket site said: "Join them for an evening that promises to be warm, inspirational, motivational and lots of fun!" It continued: "There will also be some song and dance and an opportunity for audience questions." And to make matters worse, meet and greet tickets were also being promoted with one theatre stating: "40 Meet & Greet tickets are available for an exclusive after-show Meet & Greet with the ladies." Back in March, theatre production company ABPLTD took to Instagram and posted: "AN EVENING WITH KATIE AND KERRY - ON TOUR @kerrykatona7 and @katieprice are heading out on the road this autumn for a tell-all tour sharing stories of their friendship, marriage and divorce, bankruptcy, 'I'm A Celebrity', the importance of family, their constant press attention and turning their lives around.
