BULLY
On September 3rd, 2024, the CEO of Channel Candy, Ye's new touring company, confirmed that work on a new solo Ye album had began after the South Korea Vultures listening experience. On September 28th, 2024, on the second Haikou listening event, Ye confirmed that the album name is Bully, which references the movie with the same name that he posted on his Instagram story a few days prior to the event. On January 2nd, 2025, Ye announced the album would have AI on it after months of speculation, and that it could help AI become used more in music. Ye would later retract this idea, saying on March 18th, 2025 that he no longer likes AI and planned on rerecording all his vocals.
