Kanye West sparks controversy with comments about Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s children on X

Kanye West expressing regret for deleting his post making offensive remarks about Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s children.

Kanye West has found himself at the center of controversy once again, this time over inflammatory comments about Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s children. According to Entertainment Weekly, the rapper, who recently released his album Bully, made a now-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter), using derogatory language to refer to the couple’s younger kids. He went on to suggest that having children with disabilities is a choice, drawing widespread criticism.

Despite the backlash, Entertainment Weekly reports that West later expressed regret—not for the content of his tweet, but for removing it. He claimed that a member of his music team had urged him to delete the post, warning that it could lead to a ban from the platform. “Somebody from my music team called me and begged me to take it down and spoke on Twitter banning etc. I’m soooo mad I took that down,” he wrote.

As reported by ComingSoon.net, West followed up with another post, this time directly targeting Jay-Z. He accused the rapper and his family of failing to support him during past controversies, particularly in his custody battles. “Ain’t 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 a Trump hat / F*** Jay Z and his whole family especially his shooters,” he wrote.

West’s remarks coincide with the release of Bully, which premiered as a short film at midnight on Wednesday. ComingSoon.net notes that the project features his son, Saint West, symbolically fending off attackers with a mallet in a wrestling ring. Currently, the album is only accessible through a password-protected file, with no confirmation of a wider release on streaming platforms.
