Introduction to the Controversy<\/h2>\n

Ye, formerly Kanye West, was ranting early Tuesday on social media, continuing what he started Monday with a revelation of childhood sex acts allegedly performed on an unnamed male cousin.<\/p>\n

The Revelation and Its Aftermath<\/h2>\n

The rapper rolled from that sentiment into pleas for more access to his children, claiming he hasn\u2019t seen his son Saint \u201cthis year.\u201d In the process, he accused A-list celebrities of \u201cget[ting] the popcorn\u201d and watching the show.
\n\u201cWhy are you all watching and letting Kim take my kids from me in real time,\u201d he tweeted in the wee hours Tuesday morning. \u201cYall wanna say I\u2019m acting out cause of things in my childhood. But I don\u2019t get to be a dad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Custody Battle<\/h2>\n

Ye was referring to ex-wife Kim Kardashian, who reportedly took steps toward gaining full custody of their four children, North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm in March. The status of that effort is unclear.
\n\u201cYou guys can make a difference,\u201d Ye wrote Tuesday. \u201cI\u2019m f\u2014 shaking typing this I\u2019ve had my rights stripped because I wore a f\u2014 red [MAGA] hat That\u2019s when I had a breakdown and was put in the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n

Plea for Parental Rights<\/h2>\n

\u201cI need a plan to exercise my rights with my kids,\u201d he wrote in a separate tweet. \u201cI figured out a lot of things but I haven\u2019t figured this out.\u201d Ye gave an example of why he needed to be around to parent his children. On the day Kobe Bryant died, the family went to Kylie Jenner\u2019s house where, he said, vintage Playboy magazines were \u201cstrategically placed within arms reach of every child in that house which was every half black baby.\u201d <\/p>\n

Concerns and Accusations<\/h2>\n

He suggested that people would know \u201cwho was behind that\u201d and said that as a father, he had \u201cwanted to change that for my kids.\u201d He later tweeted that Kris Jenner didn\u2019t hand out the magazines to the kids, as one X account had asserted, but said \u201cthey were just in reach like candy.\u201d He also went all-caps critical on Jewish attorneys, praised two allegedly \u201cAMAZING BRILLIANT AND HONEST\u201d Jewish employees, then tweeted, \u201cI LOVE SOME JEWS AND I LOVE HITLER.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Initial Revelation<\/h2>\n

Initially, Ye shook things up Monday with the release of a new song and apparent revelation that he and his younger male cousin had \u201cacted out\u201d what they saw in pornographic magazines.
\n\u201cThis 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 \u2018look at dirty magazines together\u2019 anymore,\u201d Ye tweeted. \u201cPerhaps in my self centered mess I felt it was my fault that I showed him those dirty magazines when he was 6 and then we acted out what we saw.\u201d <\/p>\n

Personal History and Mental Health<\/h2>\n

He said his dad had Playboys, but his mother\u2019s magazines were \u201cdifferent.\u201d (This from the same performer who tweeted and deleted this month that his late mother Donda was a lesbian whom he\u2019d caught hooking up with his babysitter.) Then he announced he had performed oral sex on his younger male cousin until he turned 14. The rapper, who has been treated for bipolar disorder in the past, announced earlier this year that he had been misdiagnosed and was instead on the autism spectrum.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

The situation surrounding Ye and his pleas for custody is complex and involves a mix of personal revelations, allegations, and concerns about parenting. Ye’s mental health and past behaviors are also significant factors in understanding his current situation and his ability to care for his children.<\/p>\n
