Kanye West’s recent posts on X (Twitter) on Tuesday crossed a line when he targeted Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s innocent children, Sir and Rumi, by suggesting they have special needs and using a derogatory term to describe them. Kanye, who legally changed his name to “Ye” West, made these remarks without any basis in fact or consideration for the children’s well-being.
Ivy Park and Adidas collaborated on a collection. One person commented, “Wait has anyone ever seen Jay-Z and Beyonce’s younger kids they’re ret*rded,” They meant “retarded” in the sense of being mentally disabled. The person continued, “No, seriously. This is why artificial insemination is such a blessing. Having retarded children is a choice.”
In a follow-up post, Kanye tweeted in all caps: “NOW JAY-Z AND BEYONCÉ ON THE OTHER END. F*CK, THOSE KOON A*S N*GGAS AND THEIR ENTIRE FAMILIES.”
His deleted tweets triggered angry reactions from fellow rappers and the public. Multiple rappers unfollowed Ye on X.
Ye responded, writing, “Yeah these fa**ot as* rap ni**as get no passes anymore. You ain’t have to unfollow me to make your point. You ain’t even have to make a point you slave.”
Ye has spent years harassing Jay-Z, whom he calls his “big brother.”
In a 2022 interview with Candace Owens, Kanye said, “I just think Beyoncé need to let him go get some p**sy, serious. “Go to the [Dominican Republic] or something, you know what I mean?”
In a viral video recorded during a concert in 2016, Ye feared Jay-Z would send “shooters” to kill him. “It’s a new world Jay-Z. Hey, don’t send killers at my head, bro,” he pleaded.

Ye was hospitalized in a California psychiatric ward after his rant during the Saint Pablo Tour in 2016. Subsequently, he faced blacklisting in the music industry due to a series of antisemitic posts made on X and Instagram.
