"This song is called COUSINS 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... My name is Ye and I sucked my cousins d**k till I was 14."

According to Page Six on April 21, the song’s lyrics are explicit, with West rapping about reenacting what they saw in the magazines, and confessing, “That’s when I gave my cousin he*d.” Ye further states in the track that he wasn't attracted to men, and that he told his cousin "not to tell nobody.”

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

West's ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, also referenced the cousin in a prison reform discussion in April 2020, saying he was given two life sentences for a crime committed at the age of 17.

Amid all this, media personality Jeffree Star seemingly confirmed an alleged relationship that transpired between him and West. On April 22, 2025, Star took to X, writing,

"Ok f**k it.. The rumors were true."

As per The Express Tribune on April 22, the rumor about their relationship first ignited in 2021 when TikToker Ava Louise, known for her controversial stunts, insinuated that West had been involved with a “very famous male beauty guru.”

Fans quickly linked it to Star, since the pair had mutual Wyoming connections, and because of a lyric referencing West in a 2009 song by Jeffree. However, the beauty guru strongly denied the allegations at the time in a YouTube video titled Addressing The Kanye Situation.

Back then, Star called the rumor so stupid and clarified, I like very tall men, while insisting they had never met. Furthermore, Louise later admitted she fabricated the story. However, despite the rumor being debunked, Star’s recent tweet has renewed speculation.


Kanye West has yet to respond to Cam'ron and Jeffree Star's statements.
