Popular American rapper, Kanye West, has confessed he took part in an incestuous acts with his cousin as a child.
This was contained in a tweet posted from West's X account on Easter Monday.
He announced that he was set to release a song called Cousin.
The track is inspired by a relative who was jailed for life for "killing a pregnant lady".
In the past, the 47-year-old has spoken about an incarcerated cousin but never revealed his name, only stating that he was jailed aged 17.
West shared a music video for the song and said he blames himself for the violent act that his cousin got involved in.
His tweet read: "This song is called COUSIN 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 mom's closet were different.
"My name is Ye and I sucked my cousins d**k till I was 14. Tweet sent."
