Cousins, 29, who just signed to the Los Angeles Lakers after his stint with the Golden State Warriors, was reportedly speaking to West regarding arrangements to have his son present at his wedding.
“I’m gonna ask you this one more time before I take it to another level,” Cousins reportedly says. “Can I have my son here, please?”
When West denied her son’s attendance, Cousins reportedly told her he would “put a bullet through her f—–g head.”
Cousins wed Morgan Lang, 28, on Saturday at the St. Regis in Atlanta, Georgia, according to PEOPLE. The longtime couple were married in front of a group of loved ones, including many of Cousins’ former Warrior teammates.
Despite being a newlywed, Cousins will have to face the music and is expected to turn himself into authorities over the arrest warrant.
