Controversial rapper Azealia Banks has made bold claims involving Kanye West and the late fashion designer Virgil Abloh, stating the two were romantically involved.
The comments follow Kanye West’s recent viral post on X, in which he admitted to a disturbing sexual encounter with a male cousin during his adolescence.
Banks, 33, took to social media to allege multiple high-profile associations involving West, claiming in a now-viral post, “Kanye and Virgil were lovers. Elon [Musk] definitely got some head from Kanye off that Ketamine.” The post has racked up over 230,000 views and stirred widespread debate online.

This all follows West’s recent confession about a past incestuous encounter with a now-incarcerated cousin. The 47-year-old rapper made the admission while promoting his new track Cousins, sharing a clip of the music video and a deeply personal statement. “My name is Ye and I sucked my cousin’s d**k till I was 14,” he wrote in a post that stunned fans and critics alike.
In his post, West described the emotional turmoil and guilt he experienced, blaming early exposure to adult content and complicated family dynamics.
The claims made by both West and Banks have reignited conversations around trauma, celebrity culture, and social media accountability, with neither Virgil Abloh’s estate nor Elon Musk responding publicly to Banks' remarks as of this writing.
