A lot of other responses have flooded the social media platform. Many speculated that the lyrics were actually Blunts' story and not Ye's. A user commented:

"Explain why it sounds so much like Dave was he involved or it's just influenced."
"Dave is the most vulnerable artist since Juice WRLD. Past the jokes, he's actually spilling his life. There's a whole lore behind every album," wrote another netizen.

Kanye West claimed that his cousin was in jail for apparently killing a woman

Kanye West made some severe allegations in the tweet, where he also dropped the track Cousins. Ye first wrote that the cousin had murdered a pregnant woman after the rapper told him that they wouldn't "look at dirty magazines together." He further added:

"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."

This was not the first time that the rapper referenced to this particular cousin. Back in August 2018, as reported by Marca, Kanye West told Jimmy Kimmel about a cousin who was in prison for murder. West reportedly then said:

"My cousin is locked up for murder, and I love him. He did a bad thing, but I still love him."

In April 2020, Kim Kardashian spoke to Marc M. Howard, president of the Frederick Douglass Project for Justice organization. During the conversation, Kim also opened up about this cousin of her former husband. Kim said:

"Kanye's aunt, my husband's aunt, his cousin has a double life sentence for a murder that he committed when he was 17."

In separate news, Kanye West is all set to drop his apparently upcoming album, Cuck. Cousins is reportedly a part of this album, which would also witness a collaboration with Dave Blunts. The release date of Cuck is yet to be announced.
