Kanye West is known for his wild and outrageous moments. Whether it's going viral for being openly pro-Nazi or some other erratic outburst about his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her family, many feel 'Ye' overstepped when he took aim at Jay-Z and Beyoncé's children.

In a now-deleted post on X, Kanye called the couple's children "r*t*rded.

Kanye West's latest tirade on X

"Wait has anyone ever seen Jay-Z and Beyoncé's younger kids. They're r*traded. No literally and this is why artificial insemination is such a blessing. Having r*t*rded children is a choice," Kanye wrote.

After a series of complaints and threats to have his X page taken down, Kanye deleted the post.

However, the response was not exactly an apology either.

"I need everyone to know that I took the post about Jay Z and Beyoncé's family down and Jerry Lorenzo's family down because there was a possibility of my Twitter being cancelled not because I'm a good person.

"I took it down like down syndrome. Get it. Am I right, am I right? F*ck the world. Real talk," he added along with a proverbial middle finger to "every body".

His followers were less than impressed with his latest stunt.

Some X users have also sympathised with Kim over Kanye's rant and weighed in on the former couple's ongoing issues. 

The 44-year-old reality superstar was married to rapper Kanye, 47, from 2014 until 2022 and has North, Saint, Chicago, as well as five-year-old Psalm with him. 

He recently had a go at Kardashian over their trademarking North's name. 

However, in a text, supposedly from Kim, she alludes to Kanye knowing about the trademark and told him to 'stop it'.

The Mirror US has reported that Kim is reportedly considering court action against her ex-husband, including custody over their children.
