Kanye West is making headlines again with a shocking new track. In “COUSINS,” he claims he had a sexual experience with his male cousin when they were kids. That cousin is now in prison. Kanye says it had a lasting impact on both of them.

In the song, he describes finding gay adult magazines at his mom Donda’s house. He showed them to his cousin. They started copying the images, including kissing. According to Kanye, this led to him performing oral sex on his cousin.
The music video is just as intense. It mixes old video game clips with soft porn-style images. During the chorus, Kanye repeats a line about “giving his cousin head.”
During his marriage to Kim Kardashian, the two looked into the cousin’s case. In a 2018 Jimmy Kimmel interview, Kanye said, “My cousin is locked up for murder and I love him. He did a bad thing, but I still love him.”
In 2020, Kim took things further. She supported the Frederick Douglass Project for Justice. She talked about Kanye’s cousin with Georgetown professor Marc Howard. She also highlighted how his aunt suffered because of their tough neighborhood in Chicago.
Kanye also announced a change to his next album. It was called “WW3,” but now he says it’ll be titled “CUCK.” A bold move — and very on brand for Ye.
