Beyoncé and Jay-Z are reportedly discussing taking legal action against Kanye West following a "vulgar and offensive" attack on their kids.

Page Six reports that the couple "will absolutely not stand for it" after the Stronger rapper spoke about their children in a "vulgar and offensive manner".

West attacked their two youngest children in a rant via X on Tuesday evening.

In the since-deleted post, West wrote, "Wait has anyone ever seen Jay Z and Beyonces younger kids theyre ret*rded no like literally and this is why artificial insemination is such a blessing having retarded children is a choice."

He deleted the offensive post - only to re-share it in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

The Grammy winner - who now goes by Ye - then wiped the hateful upload again because, "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."

Beyonce's mother Tina Knowles took to Instagram in defence of seven-year-old twins Rumi and Sir.

"It's hard to remain positive and classy in the face of ignorance and evil," she wrote in a now edited caption, according to People magazine.

"But I know that no weapon formed against me or my family shall prosper."
