50 Cent has unleashed a barrage of harsh criticism towards Kanye West following the latter's controversial online post, reigniting their long-simmering rivalry. The latest exchange between the two rappers ignited when Kanye, notorious for his provocative tweets, stunned fans by sharing startling allegations concerning his cousin, accompanied by the release of his new song, "Cousins."
Fans were left reeling as the 47-year-old artist, also known as Ye, laid bare the graphic details of his relationship in his lyrics, revealing that he engaged in oral sex with his male cousin until the age of 14. This salacious revelation serves as a centerpiece on his forthcoming album.
In swift retaliation, 50 Cent wasted no time in mocking the embattled musician with a sarcastic and cruel comment on Instagram. He posted, "I woke up this morning pondering, how could you suck your cousin's dick for six years and still claim you're not gay? Somebody should tell Kanye, but it ain't gonna be me. Nope, it's not my job." The post quickly garnered over 140,000 likes and accumulated more than 7,000 comments since its publication on Monday.
Kanye further elaborated on the narrative behind the song, tweeting, "This track, titled 'COUSINS,' is about my cousin who's serving a life sentence for murdering a pregnant woman, years after I told him we wouldn't 'pore over dirty magazines together anymore.'" He confessed, "Perhaps in my narcissistic turmoil, I blamed myself for introducing him to those magazines at age six, and we acted out the scenes we saw. My dad had Playboy magazines, but the ones I found in my mom's closet were a different breed."
He concluded, "My name is Ye, and I sucking my cousin's dick until I was 14. Tweet sent."
Previously, 50 Cent hadn't hesitated to call out Kanye's erratic behavior on Instagram. He posted a screenshot of Kanye's tweet, captioning it with, "What do you have to say about those kids?"—a pointed reference to Kanye's earlier controversial remarks involving children.
