Kanye West has never shied away from a fight, but his latest social media rant escalates his years-long feud with JAY-Z and Beyoncé to a disturbing degree. Late on Tuesday night (March 18), the rapper hopped on X (formerly Twitter) and unleashed an unprecedented attack not just on his former friends, but on their kids, too.
West, who is known for a history of making controversial statements, launched into his tirade with a baseless and deeply offensive suggestion about JAY-Z and Beyoncé's children. "WAIT HAS ANY1 ACTUALLY EVER SEEN JAY Z AND BEYONCES YOUNGER KIDS," he wrote. "THEY'RE [r*tarded] NO LIKE LITERALLY AND THIS IS WHY ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION IS SUCH A BLESSING."
As if that wasn't bad enough, West then went on to double down, adding the following even more inflammatory comment: "HAVING [r*tarded] CHILDREN IS A CHOICE."
Fans and fellow artists quickly condemned the hateful rhetoric, with backlash flooding social media. The controversial post was later removed, but not before it sowed outrage across the web. But instead of addressing the harm done by his words, Kanye felt the need to clarify that he only deleted the post because he didn't want to lose his account. "NOT BECAUSE IM A GOOD PERSON," he confessed.
Instead of retracting the post, Kanye returned even harder, unapologetic for his statements. "IF TWITTER TAKE MY S### DOWN THEN SO BE IT," he wrote. "BUT I NEED YALL TO NO JAY Z OR NOBODY HAVE NO POWER OVER ME."
The rant continued, with West bringing his co-parenting issues with Kim Kardashian into the conversation. AT LEAST JAY Z AND BEYONCÉ GET TO RAISE THEIR [r*tarded] ASS KIDS.
A member of Kanye's team supposedly "begged" him to delete his comments, but instead of backing down, he vented that he regretted deleting his original tweet. "IM SO MAD I TOOK THAT DOWN," he wrote. "THE ONLY THING I WAS MAD ABOUT IN THE LAST FEW HOURS WAS TAKING THAT JAY Z AND BEYONCÉ TWEET DOWN.
To make things worse, Kanye closed out his rant by coming for JAY-Z's whole family. "F### JAY Z AND HIS WHOLE FAMILY ESPECIALLY HIS SHOOTERS," he wrote, escalating the feud to an even more explosive level.
JAY-Z and Beyoncé have always protected their family, tightly guarding their five and seven-year-old children, Rumi and Sir, and teenage Blue Ivy from the klieg lights. While their Kanye relationship has soured over the years, remember he was even accused of hitting her in the face with a bouquet.
Kanye is alienating himself from every new controversy, alienating him from former allies and fans. His most recent rant has left many asking: What won't Kanye do? And how much longer will the industry put up with his unrestrained behavior? One thing is for sure: this feud officially hit a point of no return.
