Kanye West has received support from A$AP Ferg after confessing to molesting his male cousin for years when they were younger.

As previously reported, Ye made the shocking confession in a post to X on Monday (April 21) along with a song where he discusses the ordeal. “COUSIN” finds Ye talking about finding apparently gay magazines in his mom’s closet and reenacting what he saw with his younger cousin.

Reacting to the news, Ferg took to X and wrote: “Good for @kanyewest now you can be whole. When people start to act out you never know the root of the issue! Sending love brother your [sic] a goat.”

Ye appreciated the love, screenshotting the message and sharing it to his account with a heart emoji.

On X, Boosie wrote: “DAM KANYE I FEEL BAD FOR THIS DUDE THIS DUDE BEEN THREW SOME SHIT BRA. THE RANTS MAKE SINCE NOW. THIS MAN WAS SUCKING DICK AS A CHILD.

The Baton Rouge rapper continued with his sympathy for West: “SMH HIS MIND IS FUCKED UP I HATE HIM HAVING TO GO THROUGH THIS AS A CHILD THIS MAN COMING FOR ANY N EVERYONE WITH A RAPTURE WHOEVER WRONGED HIM N THEY IN TROUBLE.”

Last fall, A$AP Ferg revealed his own experience with molestation as a child in a deeply personal track on his album, DAROLD.

“At ten I was drowned and touched when I was in the pool/All the breath left my body where I couldn’t move,” he raps on the song. “Violated, hand on my private by a bigger dude/Seconds felt like forever, really wasn’t cool/When he seen me ’round the block, he’d smile and laugh/As if we had a little secret, and I hated that/Thinking ’bout what he did really made me mad/Even thought about murder, wanted to kill his ass/Told nobody except my cousin/One time, he made a joke, but he ain’t know nothing/I asked God, ‘Why me? Let me know something!’/I like girls, fuck he thought, that n-gga on something?”

Appearing on The Breakfast Club, he explained why he felt it was so important to share.

“I wanted to basically create a piece of art that my kid could find or like kids could find and and listen to it,” he said. “I’m still jiggy, I’m still this person or whatever and let them know that the things that happen to you really happen for you but [also], the things that happen to you – it doesn’t define you. […] Not just in the hood, I feel like this is going on everywhere and people just not going to talk about it. And I’m like yo, what am I talking about? I didn’t make that happen to me. That ain’t mine to be trying to hold inside.”
