The other wrestlers in the film included YOH, Toru Yano, Tiger Mask, and El Desperado. In February, the rapper sat for an interview with Justin LaBoy, where he opened up about the inspiration behind his album Bully. Kanye shared that Saint was the inspiration and continued:

"My son was playing with some kid and then he kicked him. I asked my son, I said, 'Why did you do that.' And Saint responded with a simple, 'Cause he weak.' And I was like, 'This man is really a bully right here.'"

He further claimed that Saint would often push and kick others. Upon wondering who he got this behavior from, Kanye West himself answered the question by saying "definitely young Ye."

As for the album, Kanye first announced the same last year in September during a performance at Wuyuan River Stadium in Haikou. He premiered the track Beauty and the Beast at the event back then.

Bully featuring Kanye West's son came shortly after he dropped a track on X, titled Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine, which featured his daughter North. The gesture was, however, not appreciated by his former partner and the mother of his kids Kim Kardashian. This even prompted Kim to threaten legal action until the music was taken down from all social media platforms.
