West opened up about a shocking sexual act he was involved in with his male cousin while growing up as a child.

The "Donda" rapper took to X, formerly Twitter, on Easter Monday to share a post teasing a new song titled "COUSIN," which he claimed was inspired by a relative jailed for life for "killing a pregnant lady."

Sharing a music video alongside, which featured a topless woman with Nazi swastikas for nipples, as well as a scene where someone was hounded by an individual pointing a gun, West revealed he gave his cousin oral sex as a child.

He sings repeatedly, "I gave my cousin head," adding, "I told my cousin not to tell nobody."

In the caption, the rapper wrote, "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 moms closet were different," he continued.

"My name is Ye and I sucked my cousin's d-ck till I was 14. Tweet sent," West added.

Not much is known about West's cousin, whom he has referenced a few times in the past.

In a previous documentary with Marc Howard, president of the Frederick Douglass Project for Justice and director of Georgetown University's Prisons and Justice Initiative, West's ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, revealed that the rapper's cousin bagged a "double life sentence for a murder that he committed when he was 17."

The reality TV star added that West's aunt has accepted her son's fate, saying, "She's like, 'I'm not even that distraught anymore. Like, that's just what happens to the kids in our neighborhood.' There's just no other choice."

The "Carnival" rapper also brought him up in a 2018 interview with Jimmy Kimmel about approaching Donald Trump with love, saying, "My cousin is locked up for murder, and I love him. So he did a bad thing, but I still love him."

West's admission about his childhood trauma in a song comes after he rapped about his strained marriage with Censori in a track from his upcoming album.

Earlier in April, the rapper teased a new song titled "Bianca," which appeared to shed light on the rumored rift between him and his wife.

In the song, West hinted that it was Censori who ended their relationship, claiming she even tried to have him "committed" during their time together.

The track also includes lyrics where the "Donda" rapper alleged that Censori began experiencing panic attacks, supposedly triggered by the backlash from his controversial antisemitic rants on X (formerly Twitter).

While it seemed like the couple's marriage was nearing its end, they have since reunited and appear to be working on their relationship. West and Censori were recently spotted on a dinner outing, and the rapper also recently posted a shot of himself and his wife on his X page.

Kanye West Reveals Why His Relationship With Jay-Z Soured

In recent weeks, the "Vultures 1" rapper has used X to make controversial rants and allegations against several people, from his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, and her family, to his wife, Censori, to his former associate, Jay-Z, and his wife, Beyoncé, and even their young children.

In a since-deleted tweet, he wrote that a lyric Jay-Z recited about him and his political affiliation on their song "Jail," released in 2021, hurt his "soul."

"Why did Jay Z have to say 'no red hat' on Jail," West wrote. "That sh-t tore me to my soul. We fought about it, and he told me either leave [his] line on there or take [his] verse off. Me wearing the red hat was the most stand out example of me going against 'the program.' Do you guys think he was instructed to say that?"

The Rapper Is A Staunch Trump Supporter

Unlike West, Jay-Z has never commented on their relationship, so it's unclear if the former friends truly fell out over their political differences.

In the song "Jail," Jay-Z raps: "Told him, 'Stop all of that red cap, we goin' home' / Not me with all of these sins, castin' stones / This might be the return of The Throne (Throne) / Hova and Yeezus, like Moses and Jesus."

West is a vocal supporter of Donald Trump and has been pictured posing with the president's campaign merch, including a red ball cap that features the phrase "Make America Great Again."
