Disgraced Nazi-loving rapper Ye (formerly Kanye West) has admitted, I sucked my cousins d**k till I was 14. He made this statement while promoting the release of a new song entitled Cousins. His admission is complex and has garnered mixed reactions on social media.In an X post published on Monday, Ye wrote, This song is about my cousin thats locked in jail for life for killing a pregnant lady a few years after I told him we wouldnt 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.

As such, his admission raises questions about consent, understanding, and possible abuse. Ye also publicly said in 2016 that he has bipolar disorder, a mental issue sometimes associated with psychosis, a mental state associated with a loss of contact with reality, hallucinations, and delusions. (Though he has also repeatedly suggested that his bipolar disorder may have been misdiagnosed.)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 (formerly Kanye West)Regardless, Yes post was met by many people accusing him of being gay or of harming his cousin, though other commenters responded with surprise and support.[I dont know] how anyone could laugh at this, one commenter wrote. This is childhood trauma not to be taken lightly. Another wrote, This is heavy. If its trolling its not edgy, its deeply harmful. If its real, youre clearly in pain. But pain doesnt erase accountability. Please get help. Some things are too deep for the internet to hold.Another wrote, You need to understand how Kanye works, and his marketing genius. Im not discounting the trauma of this but he uses shock to drive his marketing campaigns. LGBTQ+children and young people face higher risks of child sex abuse than their non-LGBTQ+ counterparts due to societal biases and discrimination, according to a 2024 article in Child Protection and Practice. Right-wingers, like the ones that Ye has increasingly associated himself with, have long blamed LGBTQ+ people for sexually abusing children. However, Statistically its adults who identify as straight who abuse the most children, writes Pat Brothwell, who wrote, discussing the issue for The Citizen Times.Putting the bulk of the blame on the LGBTQ community allows scores of adult groomers to continue their behavior unchecked and puts kids at risk, Brothwell added.In February, Ye was sued and dropped by his talent agency, 33 & West, after he published a series of antisemitic social media messages, including, Im a Nazi I love Hitler. During the most recent Super Bowl, he advertised the website of his fashion brand Yeezy,which prominently featured a swastika T-shirt for sale. Despite (or because of) his antisemitism, his last two albums, Vultures 1 and Vultures 2, released in 2024, reached number 1 and 2 in the U.S. charts.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.
