Kanye West Drops New Album ‘Bully’ Paired With Short Film

Amid yet another deluge of shit-posting and antisemitic tweets, Kanye West dropped what appears to be his latest album, Bully.

Ye offered up three versions — a “screening version,” a “post Hype version” and a “post post Hype version” — each one in the form of a 30-minute short film directed by West, edited by Hype Williams, and starring his son Saint West. 

West’s new album soundtracks the films, which feature Saint in a wrestling ring facing off against New Japan Pro-Wrestling fighters; Kanye previously revealed that the title Bully was inspired by Saint, who admitted to kicking a boy at school he deemed weak, Variety reports.

It’s unclear whether Bully — which, as per Ye tradition, appears unfinished and will likely undergo countless iterations before the rapper moves on to the next thing (like a rumored, completed Donda 2) — will only exist in its short film form. After sharing links to the films on social media, he explained that he didn’t want to put Bully on streaming services “cause streams are fake and the French and Jewish record labels treat artists like prostitutes.”

Bully marks West’s first solo release since Donda in 2021; last year, he and Ty Dolla $ign collaborated on a pair of Vultures albums. Prior to Bully’s arrival Tuesday, West spent much of the day bridge-burning on social media, calling Future “washed,” Kendrick Lamar “a rapist,” and tweeting stuff so heinous about Jay-Z’s family that even Ye had the right mind to delete it.
