Kanye West took a break from his nonstop offensive and bizarre antics on social media to speak on Lil Uzi Vert.

Kanye West says that Lil Uzi Vert is "okay" after paramedics rushed them to the hospital on Tuesday. He shared a screenshot on X (formerly Twitter) of a conversation he had with Digital Nas, who himself shared to West a conversation he had with someone who appears to have direct knowledge of the situation.

In Digital Nas' messages, the source confirms to him: "Ike is going get a update for me when he's awake, they saying he was just dehydrated but ik there's more to it." In another message, they added that Uzi's cousin said the rapper is "okay."

Kanye's post is the first update there has been on Uzi's health. According to a report from TMZ, paramedics brought him to a hospital in New York City on Monday after receiving a call to EMS for a "sick person" at a hotel in Lower Manhattan. Eyewitnesses watched them wheel Uzi through the lobby on a gurney around 2:30 PM.

As they put them in the ambulance, security held up black umbrellas to prevent witnesses from getting a closer look at Uzi. Their girlfriend, City Girls rapper JT, was also by their side during the incident. Neither Lil Uzi Vert nor JT have provided an update on the situation as of Wednesday afternoon.

Kanye West's New Song

In addition to sharing an update on Lil Uzi Vert, Kanye West has also been making headlines for dropping a bombshell new song called, "Cousins." On the track, he shockingly admits to having had an incestuous relationship with his cousin when he was growing up.

While sharing the song on social media, he wrote: "This song is called COUSINS about my cousin that’s locked in jail for life for killing a pregnant lady a few years after I told him we wouldn’t ‘look at dirty magazines together’ anymore. Perhaps in my self centered mess I felt it was my fault that I showed him those dirty magazines when he was 6 and then we acted out what we saw. My dad had playboy magazines but the magazines I found in the top of my moms closet were different. My name is Ye and I sucked my cousins d*ck till I was 14.”
