The artist formerly known as Kanye West, now going by Ye, has officially released his latest album Bully, alongside a new music video for the track “Father” featuring Travis Scott. The visual, directed by Bianca Censori, arrives as part of Ye’s long-awaited return to solo music.
Bully marks Ye’s first full-length solo project since 2021’s Donda and includes a diverse lineup of features from artists like André Troutman, CeeLo Green, Peso Pluma, and Don Toliver.
Ahead of the album’s release, Ye made headlines with a full-page ad in The Wall Street Journal back in January, where he addressed past controversies and issued an apology to both the Black and Jewish communities. In the statement, he walked back previous remarks—some of which had drawn widespread backlash—and clarified that he is “not a Nazi or an antisemite.”
Ye also spoke candidly about his ongoing battle with bipolar disorder and revealed what he believes are lasting effects from a car accident that went undiagnosed for years.
“I’m not asking for sympathy or a free pass, though I aspire to earn your forgiveness,” he wrote. “I simply ask for your patience and understanding as I find my way home.”
As anticipation built for Bully, Ye also reassured fans that the project would feature “no AI,” addressing speculation that had been circulating online in the lead-up to the release.
