Kanye 'Ye' West has officially apologized to Jay-Z for making inappropriate comments about his children on Elon Musk's X, formerly Twitter.

However, an hour later, the "Heartless" rapper made another vulgar comment. Except this time, it was about Jay's superstar wife, Beyoncé.

All of this comes amid the 47-year-old's now-seemingly routine social media rants, where he shares antisemitic, derogatory, and defamatory comments for his 33-plus million followers to consume.

Shortly after midnight on April 11, 2025, West shared an apology to Jay-Z on his X account. However, according to him, part of his recent crash out was due to him feeling abandoned by his peer and longtime friend.

“I’m sorry Jay Z,” wrote West. “I be feeling bad about my tweet but I still feel I gave my life to this industry and thought so many people were my family but when I needed family on some real sh-t none of these rap n—s had my back.”

West's post comes weeks after the father of four called Jay-Z's youngest children, twins Rumi and Sir, "retarded."

"WAIT HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN JAY Z AND BEYONCES YOUNGER KIDS(?)" he wrote. "THEYRE RETARDED NO LIKE LITERALLY AND THIS IS WHY ARTIFICIAL INSEMNATION IS SUCH A BLESSING HAVING RETARDED CHILDREN IS A CHOICE," he continued.

Not even an hour after his apology, West shared another post to his account about Jay-Z's romantic relationship with Beyoncé.

"Do Beyoncé ever let Jay get p-ssy," he wrote. "I mean like at least a couple times."  

A user reacted to the rapper's post and advised West to stay out of Bey and Jay's private life out of respect for the powerhouse couple.

"I understand your curiosity, but it's important to respect Beyoncé and Jay-Z's privacy regarding their personal relationship. Speculating about such matters can lead to misinformation and detract from their professional accomplishments," they shared.

The Blast previously reported about what sources close to Swift revealed about the situation.

According to them, the "Cruel Summer" singer was "left with no other option" than to take legal action against West.

"This time, he has gone too far. His claims are not just false they are defamatory," the source added. "This isn't just [West] gossiping. This is [West] sexually harassing a woman, defaming her, and intending to cause harm to her and to her career."

Although Swift's boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, wasn't mentioned in West's since deleted posts about the trio of singers, sources have claimed the Kansas City Chiefs player is furious with the A-list rapper.

They went on to say that if West agrees to a meeting, Kelce hopes to confront him "man to man" about the situation.

One reason for Kelce's anger is that Swift is said to be "clearly upset" over West's words. The pair also believes that giving the posts too much attention will bring negative publicity.

"Taylor's clearly upset, and Travis is obviously supporting her," the insider said. "There must be consequences. West would never dare say this to her face."
