Beyoncé and Jay-Z angered by Kanye’s tweet about their kids

The couple is angered by the rapper speaking “about their children in such a vulgar and offensive manner.” The source said, “Jay-Z and Beyoncé are aware of the posts Kanye has since deleted and are discussing how they want to handle this situation, whether that be privately and/or in a legal matter.”

What did Kanye do

They “have no plans on publicly addressing Kanye’s X posts about their children.” Kanye West questioned 7-year-old twins Rumi and Sir’s mental capacity before deleting the post. He then re-shared it in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

He then clarified that he had not deleted the post in order to be “a good person.” He wrote, “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].”
