Kanye West deletes offensive tweet about Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s children

Kanye West has removed and then re-uploaded offensive tweets about Beyoncé and Jay-Z‘s children.

The rapper launched an online attack against the children of the pop star Beyoncé and his former mentor Jay-Z while on X/Twitter yesterday (March 18). In a series of posts, Ye fuelled rumours that the couple used vitro fertilisation to conceive their seven-year-old twins, before throwing their cognitive development into question.

“Wait has anyone ever seen Jay-Z and Beyonce’s younger kids they’re r*******,” he wrote (via The Independent). “No like literally and this is why artificial insemination is such a blessing having r******* children is a choice.”

He took down the post, before then re-sharing it this morning. In the latest upload, he added the comment: “If Twitter take my shit down them so be it but I need yall to no Jay Z or nobody have no power over me.”

He then made another seven posts about the couple in less than 30 minutes, including a tweet that said “Fuck those k*** ass n***** and their entire families” and another which said: “Concerning the Jay Z and Beyoncé tweet n***** said I would regret it… I regret taking it down… my Twitter is a one way conversation.”

As highlighted by Independent, this is one of numerous times that the two rappers have had a public falling out. One other notable instance was in 2014, when Jay-Z and Beyoncé did not attend Ye’s wedding to Kim Kardashian. In a later interview with iHeartRadio, Ye said that the decision left him feeling “hurt”.

Then, in 2016 West claimed that Jay-Z wasn’t supportive following news that Kardashian had been robbed at gunpoint in Paris.

Their time working together goes back to 2000, when West produced a song for Beanie Sigel, who was signed to Jay-Z’s Roc-A-Fella record label.

Neither Beyoncé nor Jay-Z have publicly responded to the comments made by West on Twitter.

The series of offensive posts come after Ye dropped his new album ‘Bully’ as a short film and released the new song, ‘Lonely Roads Still Go To Sunshine’ on X/Twitter.

In the post for the latter, the rapper claimed it featured disgraced rap mogul Diddy, his son Christian “King” Combs, Yeezy artist Jasmine Williams and West’s own 11-year-old daughter, North. The song sparked “war” between Kanye and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, with whom she shares North.

It follows a string of highly controversial posts which saw him rescind his apology to the Jewish community for his past anti-Semitic remarks, and go on to declare himself “a Nazi”.

More recently, he has teased the return of his Sunday Service choir events and posted a picture of a KKK robe on social media.
