Kanye West has released a new song called “Cousins” that has sparked controversy over its lyrics and cover art. The Chicago rapper claims the song is about his alleged relationship with his cousin, who was killed for murdering a pregnant woman after Kanye showed him explicit magazines at age 6.
The painting on the album’s cover, titled “Leda mit dem Schwan,” was previously owned by Adolf Hitler and has been the subject of criticism given West’s history of praising Hitler. This week, West wished Hitler a happy birthday, sparking outrage among Jewish communities. Additionally, West sold t-shirts with swastikas on them online before Shopify banned his website.
West’s lyrics suggest he may have engaged in incestuous behavior until age 14, which has raised serious concerns about child abuse and exploitation. The release of “Cousins” comes as part of a pattern of concerning statements from West that have led many to question his mental health and judgment.
