Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has released his Bully album through a black-and-white short film directed by Hype Williams, featuring his 9-year-old son Saint fighting wrestlers with a mallet. During a recent interview with Justin LaBoy, Ye mentioned Bully would likely release on his daughter North’s birthday, June 15.
On Wednesday, Ye shared several links to different versions of the in-progress project on Twitter, explaining, “Every version of the Bully film. The first link started acting up, other songs on other versions.” He identified three different cuts: a “screening version,” a “post Hype version,” and a “post post Hype version.”
However, the album release has been overshadowed by Ye’s troubling social media activity this week. Among numerous concerning posts on X, he claimed he was being asked to go to a hospital.
In a video shared on X, Ye stated he’s been “expressing” himself on the platform and finds it “therapeutic.”
Later in his 2-minute Wednesday video, Ye suggested his recent online behavior might lead to consequences, saying “they” were coming for him “for real.” He described “familiar faces” appearing at his door recommending a “retreat,” which he believed was actually a hospital.
Earlier this week, Playboi Carti offered blunt advice to the 47-year-old rapper via X, suggesting he take a vow of silence. “YE STFU,” Carti posted after Ye publicly criticized Carti’s reaction to Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS-related “FINE SHIT” mention, and brought Carti’s ex-partner Iggy Azalea into the situation.
