Rapper Kanye West appeared to come out as gay during a manic rant concerning his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and their ongoing custody dispute.
The 47-year-old, adorned in an all-black outfit and face mask, had been talking about not seeing his four kids that he shares with Kardashian, 44.
As he concluded the two-minute diatribe, he said: ‘I ain’t got no motherf****** legacy n****, why the f*** you think I am s****ing out.’
He then appeared to say: ‘I’m gay. [inaudible] in charge of my legacy and I’m gay. I’m in charge of my legacy.’
Social media users have debated over whether he actually said ‘I’m gay’, or was speaking about himself and repeating ‘I’m Ye’.
It comes after a separate post to his X account just last week in which he made remarks concerning him and his male cousin having a incestuous relationship.
While teasing a new song, titled ‘COUSINS’, he said: ‘This song is called COUSINS about my cousin that’s locked in jail for life for killing a pregnant lady a few years after I told him we wouldn’t “look at dirty magazines together” anymore.
‘Perhaps 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.
‘My dad had playboy magazines but the magazines I found in the top of my moms closet were different. My name is Ye and I sucked my cousins d*** till I was 14.’
Following a series of posts, he then shared the rainbow emoji to X, writing: ‘This is my new logo’, before adding that he wasn’t actually gay.

In his latest statement, West also said: ”I’mma go get these kids, bro. I’m talking to the lawyers – it gets to the point where I don’t lose my f***in’ mind where I got to get used to not seeing my kids.’
The Stronger artist added, ‘[DJ] Akademiks put that battery in my back, bro – cause I was in the airport by myself … I’mma go get these kids, man!’
West, who recently returned from Japan, has been working on new music as of late and corresponding with fans on social media about the upcoming slate of releases.
He previously shared a series of X posts on March 19 in which he said that he was put off by a white woman being in control of his black children.
West also shockingly said that he wished he had children with Paris Hilton instead of Kardashian.
Kanye had referenced how Kardashian had got her start in the limelight by acting as Paris’ assistant.
‘Kim was Paris Hilton’s assistant. I should’ve had babies with Paris Hilton over Kim Kardashian!’ he said in the widely panned remarks.

‘Could you imagine if I had kids with Paris Hilton? How many hotels I would have right now? Think about that. The Hilton. The Hilton s***’, he said.

He was swiftly banned from Twitch after making the remarks, with his channel going down 10 minutes after he started streaming.
West has remained in the crosshairs of controversy for much of the year amid a torrent of posts propagating antisemitism.
