Kanye West was performing in China when he first announced Bully

As aforementioned, Ye announced his upcoming studio album back in September while he was performing in Haikou, China, at the Vultures listening party. As per a December 30 report by HotNewHipHop, Kanye West addressed the audience and said:

"I got a new album coming out. The album's called 'Bully,' and this song is called 'Beauty and the Beast.'"

Following this statement, Ye began singing the verses that read:

"I still think about it every night and day to try to stay away, to keep my audience / Don’t take this disrespect, I’m sitting here trying to redirect."

This studio album would be Ye's first solo project since Donda 2, which was dropped back in 2022. After that, Kanye West continued making music under ¥$, along with Ty Dolla $ign. The duo have released Vultures 1 and Vultures 2 together.

According to an article by HotNewHipHop published on October 23, 2024, Journalist Touré shared some insights into the upcoming Kanye West album. Touré said that Ye was the solo producer of the concept album. The journalist further mentioned that while Kanye usually worked in teams with individuals assisting him, this project would be different.

Touré further confirmed that the rapper was reportedly living in Tokyo while he was working on the project. He added this as a "fresh chapter" in Ye's life. Fans are now eagerly waiting for further updates about the album.
