Kanye West<\/a> recently revealed the meaning behind his newest song, COUSINS, during one of his social media outbursts, alongside revealing his cousin was convicted of murder and is currently in jail.<\/p>\n

He tweeted<\/a>: “This song is called COUSINS about my cousin that\u2019s locked in jail for life for killing a pregnant lady a few years after I told him we wouldn\u2019t ‘look at dirty magazines together’ anymore.<\/p>\n

“Perhaps in my self-centred mess I felt it was my fault that I showed him those dirty magazines when he was six and then we acted out what we saw.”<\/p>\n

The identity of Kanye’s cousin has never been revealed to the public, however, both Kim Kardashian<\/a> and Kanye West have previously opened up about his crimes.<\/p>\n

During the 2020 TV show, Kim Kardashian West: The Justice Project, Kim revealed that Kanye had a cousin who was convicted of murder at 17 and is currently serving a double life sentence.<\/p>\n

Kim spoke to Marc Howard, the president of the Frederick Douglass Project for Justice and director of Georgetown University\u2019s Prisons and Justice Initiative.<\/p>\n

She explained that Kanye’s “cousin has a double life sentence for a murder that he committed when he was 17.”<\/p>\n

As for how Kanye’s aunt felt about her son’s punishment, Kim added: “She\u2019s like, ‘I\u2019m not even that distraught anymore. Like, that\u2019s just what happens to the kids in our neighbourhood.’ There\u2019s just no other choice.”<\/p>\n

Kanye West previously brought up his cousin during an interview with Jimmy Kimmel in 2018<\/a>, where he was discussing looking at Donald Trump with love despite the things he’s done.<\/p>\n

He used his cousin as an example, saying: “My cousin is locked up for murder and I love him. So he did a bad thing, but I still love him.”<\/p>\n
