In yet another controversial moment, American rapper Kanye West has ignited a firestorm of criticism after making a highly offensive remark about Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s twin children, Rumi and Sir Carter. The incident unfolded on March 18, 2025, when West took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to rant about a variety of topics, one of which involved the 8-year-old twins.

He wrote, “Wait has anyone ever seen Jay Z and Beyonce’s younger kids? They’re retarded. No, like literally. And this is why artificial insemination is such a blessing. Having retarded children is a choice.”
Legal Action:
In the now-deleted post, West referred to the children using the derogatory term “retarded,” a comment that immediately sparked outrage online. Fans, followers, and public figures alike condemned the rapper’s choice of words, with many demanding accountability for his hurtful language. Recognizing the mounting backlash, West quickly deleted the post, later explaining that he had done so to avoid losing his Twitter account.
I need everyone to know that I took the post about Jay and Beyonce’s family down, and Jerry Lorenzo’s family because there was a possibility of my Twitter being cancelled, not because I’m a good person.
Despite the post’s removal, the controversy surrounding West’s comments shows no signs of dying down.
I took it down like down syndrome, get it? Am I right? Now jay z and Beyonce on the other end, fuck those Koon ass niggas and their entire families.
