Kanye West’s Latest Outburst Targets Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s Twins, Claims They’re Mentally Disabled

Kanye West’s social media outbursts have become a familiar spectacle, but his latest rant might be his most shocking yet. Known for alienating those closest to him, it was only a matter of time before the rapper turned his ire toward Jay-Z and Beyoncé—a duo he once considered family.

The latest controversy began Monday night, as West posted a tweet that quickly garnered widespread backlash. In the tweet, he claimed without any evidence that Jay-Z and Beyonce’s children were “retrted.” “Wait has anyone ever seen Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s younger kids they’re retrted,” Kanye wrote, shocking fans and critics alike. His comments didn’t stop there. Kanye went on a tirade about arificial insemination and mental disabilities, saying, “This is why artificial insemination is such a blessing. Having ret*rted children is a choice.”

After stirring the pot with his unprovoked attack, Kanye doubled down on his hostility, targeting the couple in follow-up tweets. “NOW JAY-Z AND BEYONCÉ ON THE OTHER END,” Kanye tweeted in all caps, before adding, “FCK, THOSE KON ASS N**GAS AND THEIR ENTIRE FAMILIES.” He then claimed he deleted his earlier tweet about the Carters’ children not out of remorse but because he feared his Twitter account would be shut down. “Took it down like down syndrome,” Kanye added, making an appalling joke.

The bad blood between Kanye and the Carters has been simmering for years. While he once considered Jay-Z a “big brother,” Kanye has regularly lashed out at him for what he perceives as betrayal. In 2022, Kanye mocked Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s marriage in an interview with Candace Owens, suggesting that Beyoncé needed to “let him go get some p**sy.” This, however, was mild compared to the infamous 2016 incident when Kanye claimed Jay-Z would send “shooters” after him for failing to check in. “Please don’t send them at my head,” Kanye pleaded in the footage. Despite his plea, Kanye didn’t take his own advice and continued to escalate the feud.
