Once more, Kanye West finds himself in trouble for his most recent social media comments. West published a comment against Jay-Z and Beyoncé's offspring on March 18, 2025. Particularly from Beyonce's devoted fan base, Beyhive, his comments quickly provoked unfavorable responses.
West's tweet followed one in which he said that artificial insemination was a "blessing" and having "r*tarded children is a choice." This was followed by one with a remark implying Jay-Z and Beyoncé's younger offspring were "r*tarded."
Many people slammed the posts as insensitive and insolent. West said that, rather than express repentance, he removed the tweets almost instantaneously after posting them to avoid site suspension.
“THEYRE R*TARDED,” said Kanye West.
Many fans reacted to this post and commented on the platform X:
"Ayoooo but foreal were the other kids?" said one fan on X.
"Kids are off limits!!" said a fan.
"now play off the grid," said another fan on X.
