Kanye released a song called “Real Friends” earlier in 2016. No one knows the reason for the song. In the song, he gave an hint.
“I had a cousin that stole my laptop that I was f–kin’ bitches on. Paid that n—a 250 thousand just to get it from him. Real friends…Huh?”
From indications, its like a certain cousin of his had allegedly threatened to expose a sex tape he found on a laptop Kanye had loaned to another cousin. According his cousin Lawrence Franklin, the laptop was Kanye’s back in 2011 and contained a sextape of Yeezy and a fair-skinned unidentified African-American woman. He says this caused Kanye to become distrustful of those in his inner-circle,
“the sex tape episode started his decline – he stopped trusting people. This did make Kanye upset… It caused a huge rift in our family,”. he said.
That is why they say, ‘careful who you trust’.
