Kanye West apologizes to Jay-Z after shock tweets about his twins only to then ask lewd question about Beyoncé

Kanye West has issued a cryptic apology, weeks after publicly questioning the mental capacity of Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s seven-year-old twins Sir and Rumi.

The original shocking comments about the children came amid a string of outbursts on X, in which West also took aim at his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

Shortly thereafter, it was reported Beyoncé and Jay-Z were considering taking legal action against West over the ‘vulgar and offensive’ posts.

West then flew to Tokyo, where sources told TMZ he instantly became calmer, and he has since released a song seemingly confirming his wife Bianca Censori has left him. 

This week, West posted to X telling Jay-Z he was ‘sorry,’ though he did not clarify whether he was specifically apologizing for his remarks about the twins.

‘I’m sorry Jay Z,’ wrote West. ‘I be feeling bad about my tweet but I still feel I gave my life to this industry and thought so many people were my family but when I needed family on some real s*** none of these rap n****s had my back.’

DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Jay-Z and Beyoncé for comment.

Not even one hour after his apology tweet, West switched course and posted: ‘Do Beyoncé ever let Jay get p***y I mean like at least a couple times.’

The posts come about three weeks after a source told Page Six that Jay-Z and Beyoncé were ‘discussing how they want to handle’ West’s tweets about their children, ‘whether that be privately and/or in a legal matter.’ 

The insider also stressed that the superstar and Roc Nation founder, 55, ‘will absolutely not stand for’ how West ‘has spoken about their children.’

They are said to have found the language he used ‘vulgar and offensive’ and do not currently have ‘plans on publicly addressing Kanye’s X posts about their children.’

Although West removed the original post, he clarified that he didn’t taken it down to be ‘a good person.’

‘I need everyone to know that I took the post about Jay Z and Beyoncé’s family down … because there was a possibility of my Twitter being cancelled [sic],’ he wrote on X. 

A source also told the outlet that West’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, is ‘appalled’ by the post and that he ‘would use that kind of language about anybody, let alone when it comes to children.’

‘Kim has had enough and she’s done trying to be reasonable with Kanye when it comes to communication,’ the insider added. 

They went on to note that the reality star felt ‘no matter what feud Kanye has going on with Jay and Beyoncé, kids are off limits’ and his tweet was ‘shocking and offensive.’

Though Blue Ivy has been in the limelight ever since her birth in 2012, Beyoncé and Jay Z have notably been more reluctant to share as much about their twins with the world. 

In fact, the twins have never joined either parent together at awards shows or red carpet events since they were born in June 2017. 

It has long been believed that this is due to the music super couple’s desire to help their children protect their privacy. 

During a rare candid chat about motherhood in 2024, Beyoncé admitted to GQ Magazine that she manages her schedule around her children so she is always with them. 

‘My kids come with me everywhere I go. They come to my office after school, and they are in the studio with me,’ she explained. ‘They are in dance rehearsals. It’s natural that they would learn my choreography.’

She also emphasizes her desire to keep their lives as normal as it could be considering their global fame.

The singer explained: ‘One thing I’ve worked extremely hard on is making sure my kids can have as much normalcy and privacy as possible, ensuring my personal life isn’t turned into a brand. It’s very easy for celebrities to turn our lives into performance art.

Meanwhile, they have made blink-and-you-miss-it appearances in some of their mother’s advertising campaigns for her clothing brand, Ivy Park.

The most recent images and clips of Sir seen by the public appeared in his mother’s tour movie, Renaissance.

His sister, Rumi, most recently, joined her dad and older sister, Blue Ivy, at the Super Bowl LIX in February 2025.

In recent years, Beyoncé’s parents Tina and Mathew Tina Knowles have shared insight into the twins’ personality.

Their comments have highlighted the fact that Sir’s absence from public events is simply due to the fact he is ‘laid back and chill’ and seemingly not interested in large public outings.

In 2020, Mathew gushed about his grandkids and said: ‘Blue Ivy is just so incredible and reminds me of Beyoncé so much.

‘Sir, he just wants his world to himself. [His twin sister], Rumi, reminds me of [my daughter] Solange [Knowles].’

Meanwhile, in 2019, Tina explained: ‘The girl is really just going to rule the world, and the boy is kind of laid back and chills like the dad. [Blue] is the Queen B. The second Queen B.’

In another chat with E! News, Tina stated: ‘Sir is very quiet. He does all of the numbers stuff, so he’s not into fashion as much.’

She also revealed that he is ‘very, very smart’ while Rumi ‘is amazing — an amazing artist, painter, and creator. How could they be anything else, growing up in that environment? All we talk about is creativity and fashion.’

Jay-Z himself gave similar insight into the personalities of his children to Elliott Wilson and Brian Miller on the Rap Radar podcast in 2017.

‘Rumi is our favorite poet, so it was for our daughter. Sir was like, man, came out the gate,’ he boasted. ‘He carries himself like that. He just came out, like, Sir.’

‘I have made an extreme effort to stay true to my boundaries and protect myself and my family. No amount of money is worth my peace.’

To date, fans have only been given brief looks at the twins together in Beyoncé’s documentaries, Homecoming and Making The Gift.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z have never said that their twins suffer from any disabilities or medical conditions, apart from ‘terrible allergies.’

During her pregnancy with Rumi and Sir, she did, however, experience toxemia (also known as preeclampsia) and had to be on bed rest before, ultimately undergoing an emergency C-section.

‘My body went through more than I knew it could. I was 218 pounds the day I gave birth. I had an extremely difficult pregnancy,’ she revealed in her Netflix documentary, Homecoming. 

In a personal essay for Vogue, published in 2018, the mom-of-three recalled being ‘swollen from toxemia and had been on bed rest for over a month.’

After giving birth, her twins spent weeks in the NICU.

‘I was in survival mode and did not grasp it all until months later,’ she wrote. ‘After the C-section, my core felt different. It had been major surgery. Some of your organs are shifted temporarily, and in rare cases, removed temporarily during delivery.’

She continued: ‘I needed time to heal, to recover. During my recovery, I gave myself self-love and self-care, and I embraced being curvier. I accepted what my body wanted to be.’
