Ye releases new album Bully as film starring son Saint West, attacks Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s kids on social media….See More

The rapper used a derogatory term while referring to the couple’s children Rumi and Sir as he unveiled his first proper solo LP since 2021’s “Donda.”

In the midst of a lengthy social media tirade targeting his former mentor Jay-Z and his wife, Beyoncé, Ye dropped his latest collection of songs as a short film.

The artist formerly known as Kanye West shared three versions of his new visual album, Bully, on Wednesday: a “screening version,” a “post-Hype version,” and a “post-post-Hype version.” The films star Saint West — Ye’s second child with ex-wife Kim Kardashian — wielding a mallet in a wrestling ring as he fends off several attackers over the course of the record’s 45 minutes.

A representative for Kardashian declined to comment to Entertainment Weekly.

West previously teased the release during a February conversation with rapper Justin Laboy, in which he cited his 9-year-old son as the inspiration for the album’s title.

“My son [Saint] was playing with some kid, and then he kicked him,” West told Laboy. “I asked my son, ‘Why you do that?’ and he said, ‘Because he weak.’ I was like, ‘This man is really a bully.'”

The album marks the rapper’s first proper solo full-length since 2021’s Donda. He first teased Bully during a September 2024 show in China, in which he premiered the song “Beauty and the Beast.” The album is not yet available on major music streaming platforms, and Ye hinted on X that this was an intentional move.

I may stop using DSPs cause streams are fake and the French and Jewish record labels treat artists like prostitutes,” he wrote, continuing his streak of recent antisemitic comments on social media.

Ye has been in a public spiral in recent months, frequently posting derogatory, days-long rants about Jewish people and even selling T-shirts branded with swastikas through his online store.

The surprise release of Bully came amid yet another tirade, in which he not only attacked Jay-Z and Beyoncé, but targeted their children Rumi and Sir, calling them the R-word in now-deleted posts viewed by EW.

“Wait, has anyone ever seen Jay-Z and Beyonce’s younger kids?” he wrote in the Tuesday post. “No, like, literally, and this is why artificial insemination is such a blessing.”

Hours after taking the post down, he tweeted it again with the addition, “If Twitter take my s— down, then so be it, but I need y’all to no [sic] Jay-Z or nobody have no power over me.

The diatribe continued with several more posts railing against the couple and expressing regret over his decision to take down his initial post blasting them.

Ye has a long history with Jay-Z, who acted as a mentor to him at the start of his career. Their relationship dates back to 2000, when West produced tracks for Roc-A-Fella Records, co-founded by Jay-Z. West even wrote the 2007 track “Big Brother” as an ode to their friendship.

But a rift emerged between the rappers after Jay-Z and Beyoncé skipped West’s 2014 wedding with Kardashian. In 2016, Ye called the couple out during an infamous concert rant, and two years later he admitted that he was “hurt” by their absence from the ceremony.
