Kanye West drops ‘Bully’ album on Twitter

On Tuesday night, I was thrilled to watch an online short film that unveiled my favorite musician’s latest album, Bully, just after midnight.

Kanye West shared a link to his film on a platform, which used to be Twitter. Edited by Hype Williams, this movie features his son, Saint, engaging in a wrestling match with toy hammers in a ring while the album plays in the background. Kanye tweeted that the album was “still in progress and only half the vocals were artificially generated.” Afterwards, he released three different versions: a “preview version,” a “version after Hype Williams’ edits,” and a “final version after more edits by Hype Williams.

In September 2024, West unveiled “Bully” at Wuyuan River Stadium in Haikou, China. This was where he premiered the song “Beauty and the Beast.” During an interview with Justin Laboy, the singer revealed that “Bully” was inspired by a childhood memory involving Saint, who recounted an incident where he had bullied another child for being perceived as weak. Initially, West intended to launch the album on June 15, which coincides with his daughter North’s birthday.

In this movie, you’ll find wrestlers hailing from New Japan Pro-Wrestling such as YOH, Toru Yano, Tiger Mask, and El Desperado. Additionally, the music boasts snippets of “Huit Octobre 1971” by Cortex and “You Can’t Hurry Love” by The Supremes. Unfortunately, Kanye West did not make Bully available for streaming.

Kanye West’s album release occurred at a time when he had been posting antisemitic remarks and making personal attacks against Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, and Tyler, the Creator. In February, he also purchased an ad for the Super Bowl, directing viewers to his website which featured a single item for sale – a T-shirt bearing a swastika symbol.
