Kanye vs. Jay-Z & Beyoncé: The Internet Can’t Believe What Kanye Just Said About Their Children

In yet another deeply troubling social media outburst, Kanye West, now legally known as Ye, ignited widespread backlash after making offensive remarks about Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s young children and drawing a controversial comparison to Drake’s past efforts to shield his son from public scrutiny. The tweets left fans, critics, and peers in the entertainment industry shocked and disheartened. Many are questioning how far Ye is willing to go for attention and at what cost.

A Tweet Too Far: Targeting Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s Children

On April 15, 2025, Ye took to X (formerly Twitter) to post a series of alarming messages. In one particularly disturbing tweet, he referenced Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s twins, Rumi and Sir Carter, both just seven years old, using an offensive term that has long been condemned for mocking individuals with disabilities.

“The Jay and Beyoncé retarded kids tweet was not funny,” he wrote.
“It was just funny that I actually tweeted it.”

Despite acknowledging the cruelty of his words, Ye appeared more amused by his own audacity than remorseful for the harm caused.

The post was quickly deleted, but screenshots spread across the internet within minutes. In a follow-up post, Ye justified the deletion not out of regret but to avoid being suspended from the platform.

“You know when you tweet shit and immediately look for more guns,” he cryptically added. This allusion to paranoia and aggression alarmed many.

A Painful Comparison to Drake’s Hidden Child

In a bizarre pivot, Ye then invoked fellow rapper Drake, referencing the time when Drake kept the existence of his son, Adonis, private. Instead of simply drawing a parallel, Ye seemed to use the moment to ridicule the idea of hiding children, turning a deeply personal matter into another controversial talking point.

“Isn’t it kind of like when Drake was hiding his child?” Ye tweeted.

The attempt to equate a decision rooted in privacy with his own demeaning attack on children was met with disbelief. Fans noted that while Drake eventually acknowledged his son and explained his motives, Ye’s comments seemed to stem from spite rather than reflection.

Backlash from the Public and Industry

The reaction from fans, celebrities, and mental health advocates was swift and overwhelmingly negative. Many condemned Ye for dragging children, particularly those of former friends, into public disputes and internet trolling.

Tina Knowles, Beyoncé’s mother, spoke out passionately and described Ye’s comments as ignorant, disgusting, and unacceptable. In an emotional Instagram story, she wrote:

“Children should never be the target of anyone’s anger or foolishness. Especially children who didn’t ask to be born into fame. This is beyond cruel. This is hate.”

Social media was flooded with messages of support for the Carter family and calls for accountability. #ProtectBlackChildren began trending as many emphasized that celebrities’ children should not be targets of harassment or ridicule, no matter the context.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z Remain Silent for Now

As of now, neither Beyoncé nor Jay-Z have issued a public statement about Ye’s attack. According to sources close to the couple, they are exploring all available legal options and may pursue action if further harassment occurs. However, insiders have also stated that the couple is unlikely to respond publicly, choosing instead to protect their children’s peace and privacy.

“They’re devastated,” a source told The Blast. “This crossed a line that can’t be uncrossed.”

Kim Kardashian Reportedly Disturbed by Ye’s Behavior

Ye’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, is also said to be extremely disturbed by his behavior. According to reports, she’s considering new legal protections for their children to prevent them from becoming targets of Ye’s online outbursts. Sources suggest she is exploring changes to their custody agreement, particularly regarding Ye’s influence on social media.

“She is appalled by what he said about other people’s kids,” an insider shared with The Sun. “It makes her worry even more about her own children being exposed.”

A Pattern of Provocation and Decline

This incident adds to a long list of controversies that have plagued Ye in recent years. From antisemitic remarks and erratic presidential runs to public feuds and conspiracy-laden interviews, his actions have repeatedly drawn criticism. While once considered a musical genius and cultural icon, Ye’s reputation has deteriorated rapidly. Many former fans are expressing disappointment and concern for his mental health.

Yet despite numerous interventions and public outcries, Ye continues to dig himself deeper into isolation. His statements have become increasingly unfiltered, insensitive, and damaging.

The Cost of Silence and the Question of Accountability

Though many in the industry have distanced themselves from Ye, some critics argue that silence from powerful platforms and former collaborators is enabling his behavior. Others question whether Ye is in a stable enough state of mind to even recognize the harm he causes. There are also concerns about whether social media companies are doing enough to prevent such abuse.

At the heart of it all are two innocent children who were needlessly dragged into the spotlight for the sake of a tweet. The world is once again left wondering what happened to the Kanye West who once asked us all to “run away” from his own flaws.

In a time when public discourse is already so toxic, the targeting of children, especially by someone once considered a voice of a generation, feels like a new low. Whether this marks a turning point for Ye or yet another descent into infamy remains to be seen. But for many, the damage has already been done.
