On Tuesday, the rapper now known as Ye posted disgraceful remarks on social media containing an ableist slur to attack Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s children, Rumi and Sir, who are 7 years old. He has since deleted the post, which made national headlines.
“WAIT HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN JAY Z AND BEYONCES YOUNGER KIDS,” Ye wrote at the time. “THEYRE RETARDED NO LIKE LITERALLY AND THIS IS WHY ARTIFICAL INSEMANATAION [SIC] IS SUCH A BLESSING.”
The post continued, “HAVING RETARDED CHILDREN IS A CHOICE.”
“I’m hopeful Kanye gets the type of help he needs, in terms of mental health,” he added.
The “Real Friends” rapper named Jay-Z on Friday as one of the “12 rap kings,” and famously stormed the stage at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards to champion Beyoncé. But he appears to have fully fallen out of favor with the couple following Tuesday’s post, and a source told Page Six that Jay-Z and Beyoncé have even considered taking legal action.
