Warning: Disturbing.

Kanye West claims he had an incestuous relationship with his male cousin when they were kids.

The troubled rapper, 47, made the admission on X on Monday while releasing a snippet of a music video for a new song titled “Cousins.”

“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,” he told his followers.

“Perhaps in my self centered (sic) 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.”

According to West, he found the “dirty magazines” in the closet of his late mother, Donda West, who he recently claimed was a lesbian.

“My name is Ye and I [redacted] till I was 14,” he concluded his message, adding, “Tweet sent.”

West sings on the track, “Hanging with my cousin reading dirty magazines / We seen some n****s kiss, and we ain’t know what that s**t mean / Then we start reenacting everything that we had seen / That’s when [redacted].”

The Grammy winner repeats that line several times before confessing that he “told [his] cousin not to tell nobody.”

He continues, “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.”

The accompanying visual featured home videos, gun violence, semi-pornographic images, a sign that read, “4 f****ts” and a burning cross.

Many users took to social media to dub West’s latest outburst a new low.

“For the first time in my life, I’ve felt sorry for Kim Kardashian. Imagine watching Kanye West, the father of your children, spiral publicly like this,” one wrote.

“What a horrible day to know how to read,” another said.

“Kanye West latest tweet might be his worst one yet,” a third added.

Both Kanye and his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, have spoken about the apparent cousin in question in the past.

While endorsing President Trump ahead of his first term, Kanye told Jimmy Kimmel in August 2018, “My cousin is locked up for murder, and I love him. He did a bad thing, but I still love him.”

Kardashian — with whom Kanye shares four young children — referenced the Yeezy founder’s relative while meeting with Marc M. Howard, president of the Frederick Douglass Project for Justice organisation, in April 2020.

The prison reform advocate, 44, explained at the time, “Kanye’s aunt, my husband’s aunt, his cousin has a double life sentence for a murder that he committed when he was 17.”
