Kanye West, now known as Ye, is once again at the center of controversy after making offensive remarks about Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s children. In a series of now-deleted tweets, Ye questioned the visibility of the couple’s younger twins, Rumi and Sir Carter, making disturbing and inappropriate comments that have led to immediate backlash.
The Tweet That Started It All
Ye took to X (formerly Twitter) to post:
"Wait, has anyone ever seen Jay-Z and Beyoncé's younger kids? They're reted. No like literally. And this is why artificial insemination is such a blessing. Having reted children is a choice." They’re [r-word]. No like literally. And this is why artificial insemination is such a blessing. Having [r-word] children is a choice.”
The tweet was met with immediate backlash, but instead of apologizing, Ye fired off even more tweets, making it clear he wasn’t backing down: In his next tweet, he admitted that the only reason he deleted it was because his team pressured him to, not because he regretted anything:
"SOMEBODY FROM MY MUSIC TEAM CALLED ME AND BEGGED ME TO TAKE IT DOWN AND SPOKE ON TWITTER BANNING ETC. IM SOOOO MAD I TOOK THAT DOWN."
SOMEBODY FROM MY MUSIC TEAM CALLED ME AND BEGGED ME TO TAKE IT DOWN AND SPOKE ON TWITTER BANNING ETC. IM SOOOO MAD I TOOK THAT DOWN
He then made it even clearer that he wasn’t done:
"CONCERNING THE JAY Z AND BEYONCÉ TWEET NIGGAS SAID I WOUKD REGRET IT NOOOO I REGRET TAKING IT DOWN MY TWITTER IS A ONE WAY CONVERSION."
CONCERNING THE JAY Z AND BEYONCÉ TWEET NIGGAS SAID I WOUKD REGRET IT NOOOO I REGRET TAKING IT DOWN MY TWITTER IS A ONE WAY CONVERSION
Still, Ye wasn’t done throwing shots, directly calling out Jay-Z and his entire family:
"AINT NO CELEBRITY EVER SAID NOTHING TO COME TO MY AID WHEN IT CAME TO THESE WHITE WOMEN TAKING MY KIDS CAUSE THEY WAS MAD I WAS WEARING TRUMP HAT FUCK JAY Z AND HIS WHOLE FAMILY ESPECIALLY HIS SHOOTERS.". He then followed up with another offensive remark, saying:
"I need everyone to know that I took the post about Jay-Z and Beyoncé's family down... because there was a possibility of my Twitter being cancelled not because I'm a good person. I took it down like Down syndrome... get it? Am I right? Am I right??? Fk the world... fk everybody." Am I right? Am I right???”

The reaction from the public and the music industry was immediate. Fans, celebrities, and advocacy groups condemned Ye’s hateful and ableist language, with many calling for him to be permanently deplatformed. This latest incident is part of a pattern of problematic and erratic behavior that has strained his relationships within the entertainment world.
Even those who previously defended Ye’s free speech are finding it hard to stand by him after this latest outburst. Jay-Z and Beyoncé have not publicly responded, but sources close to the couple say they are furious and deeply disturbed by his words.
Another Chapter in Kanye’s Downward Spiral
This isn’t the first time Ye has ignited a firestorm with his public statements. In recent years, he has:
-
Made antisemitic remarks that cost him major business deals.
-
Publicly feuded with ex-wife Kim Kardashian over parenting choices.
-
Launched unhinged social media rants targeting everyone from fellow artists to political figures.
-
Pushed conspiracy theories that alienated fans and business partners.
Fallout and Possible Consequences
With public sentiment increasingly turning against him, Ye faces potential legal repercussions and industry fallout. Reports suggest that major brands and streaming platforms are considering further distancing themselves from the rapper. Some fans have called for his music to be pulled from major platforms, and there are growing concerns about whether he will continue to have access to social media.. His latest comments have reignited discussions about mental health, accountability, and the consequences of unchecked speech.
Before coming for other people’s kids, you should worry about your own. With bad parenting like yours, they’ll be the ones hurt and damaged. They will grow up embarrassed by you. As they should. You’re an irresponsible father, with an untreated mental illness and a heavy drug…
While some of his most loyal fans continue to defend him, industry insiders are questioning whether this could be the final breaking point. With major names in music and business cutting ties, Ye’s ability to recover from this latest scandal remains uncertain.. Whether this will lead to further cancellations or repercussions remains to be seen, but—Kanye West’s ability to shock, offend, and divide has reached new heights.
