Controversial rapper Kanye ‘Ye’ West has surprised dropped his new album ‘Bully’ as a short film. He took to X to share the album today, an album which is in the format of a short film directed by Hype Williams.  

The album is also available in three versions - ‘Latest’, ‘Post Hype’ and ‘Post Post Hype’ - all of which were shared for free via Frame.io.

For the time being, it’s unclear whether the album will get a physical release or if it will be made available via other digital streaming platforms.  

What is clear, however, is that the new album launch has been overshadowed by yet another social media meltdown, in which the rapper spewed bile and hateful comments that has left already conflicted fans horrified. 

In his most recent X outburst, Ye declared himself as “evil”, has claimed he “beat women” - much like Carti, who has faced accusations in 2023 of assaulting his then pregnant girlfriend.

He also renewed his support for Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs, who is facing charges such as racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. 

Fans have spoken out on this recent meltdown, with many expressing shock and dismay over his recent comments. These can be summed up by a user who said: "It's getting harder and harder to defend you gang."

Last week, Ye dropped a new song, ‘Lonely Roads Still Go To Sunsine’ and claimed it featured Diddy, his son Christian “King” Combs and West’s own 11-year-old daughter, North. 

This led to the release of text conversations in which his ex-wife Kim Kardashian revealed that she had sent paperwork to West so North “wouldn’t be in the Diddy song to protect her.” This was followed up by West telling Kardashian: “Amend it or I’m going to war and neither of us will recover from the public fallout.” He concluded: “You’re going to have to kill me.”

This followed a string of highly controversial posts in which he posted a picture of KKK robes, rescind his apology to the Jewish community for his past antisemitic remarks, declare himself “a Nazi” and assert that he has “dominion over his wife”.

According to recent reports, Kardashian is reportedly weighing legal action to seek full custody of her four children with West.

An insider revealed to Us Weekly that Kardashian is “in a very tough position when she really has to co-parent with him,” adding that Kardashian prioritizes her children’s well-being.
