Kanye West thrives on controversy. Whether it stems from narcissism, mental health struggles, or simply an artist rebelling against the norm is up for debate. But at this point, his social media outbursts no longer surprise anyone—until now. And his alleged divorce from Bianca Censori is no excuse.
Taking shots at Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s family is a bold move, one that few would dare to make. But we know by now that nothing stops Kanye. After targeting Cardi B, Iggy Azalea, Kendrick Lamar, and Playboi Carti this week, he has now set his sights on the king and queen of the music industry.
And if he had only gone after the couple, maybe it wouldn’t have been as shocking. But he went a step further—dragging their twins, Rumi and Sir Carter, into it with deeply offensive remarks.
His words were beyond outrageous, especially since they targeted children:“Wait has anyone ever seen Jay-Z and Beyonce’s younger kids they’re retarded,” Kanye tweeted on Tuesday, March 18. “No like literally and this is why artificial insemination is such a blessing having retarded children is a choice.”
The backlash was immediate. X (formerly Twitter) users quickly turned against him, prompting him to delete the messages. But that didn’t stop him. He doubled down, posting: “I need everyone to know I deleted the post about Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s family… because there was a chance my Twitter would get canceled, not because I’m a good person. I deleted it like I had Down syndrome… get it? Fk the world… fk everyone,» he wrote. “If Twitter take my s**t down them so be it but I need yall to no Jay Z or nobody have no power over me.”

At this point, we had already gotten used to Kanye’s homophobic, antisemitic, fatphobic, sexist, and racist rants. But now, he has crossed every possible line by attacking minors. Sure, he claims that all his past controversies boosted his product sales, but this time, the consequences might be different. Or maybe not—when it comes to scandals like this, you never know. Especially considering that a certain segment still holds a grudge against Queen B over the Diddy case.
The feud seems to be escalating, and beyond the drama, many users are questioning the platforms that allow such hateful content to spread unchecked. Where are the boundaries? And why haven’t they been set?
Some argue that Kanye’s antics are just part of a marketing strategy—especially now that he’s released a song with his daughter, North West, without Kim Kardashian’s consent. Or that he just announced Bully, a short film where he allegedly tried to include Iggy Azalea and Playboi Carti’s children without permission. Azalea was quick to fire back, demanding that he leave the kids out of it, but her words seem to have fallen on deaf ears.
West also claims that he won’t be releasing his new project on streaming platforms, which will make it harder to access. Meanwhile, he just told his 33.3 million followers that the sequel to Donda 2 is in the works.
Right now, social media is on fire. Many believe this is the end of Kanye’s career, convinced that Beyoncé and Jay-Z will make sure of it.
