Kanye West announces the new album Bully at a concert in China and debuts the song Beauty and the Beast

Kanye West announced a new album and debuted a new song during his performance at Wuyuan River Stadium in Haikou, China this weekend.

The new album – the follow-up to his two Vultures releases released earlier this year – is titled Bully.

The new song is titled Beauty and the Beast and he performed it in China, rapping over an instrumental background.

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

Kanye – who recently sold his Malibu mansion – had not performed in China for 16 years before his first listening event in the country on September 15.

During the concert, West also debuted a new version of 530, a song from Vultures 2 that fans are calling the completed version because it included a second verse.

Ye hasn’t given the public any hint as to when the Bully album will be released, but if it follows the same path as the two Vultures projects, it will be plagued by delays.

Vultures was delayed for several months before finally being released on February 10. The premiere of the second Vultures project was initially scheduled for March 8, but was postponed to August 3.

The former was pushed back several months before its inevitable February 10 release, while the latter was initially scheduled for release on March 8 before finally hitting streaming services on August 3.

Yeezy announced the release of several albums that never saw the light of day, including Good A** Job, TurboGrafx 16, Yandhi and Love Every.

Additionally, the Vultures project was conceived as a trilogy, and the third album has not yet been released.

Last month, rapper Gold Digger slammed Adidas, which cut ties with him in 2022 after Ye made several anti-Semitic comments.

He chanted “f**k Adidas” and encouraged the audience to join him before playing Can’t Tell Me Nothing, another hit from his third studio album, Graduation.

The new album – the follow-up to his two Vultures releases released earlier this year – is titled Bully. It was seen arriving in China on September 27, 2024

He also recently congratulated Drake during one of his recent performances.

Before performing his 2007 song I Wonder, the father of four declared, “This one’s for Drake.”

According to The Sun, several K-pop artists were seen at his concert on August 23.

This included Aespa members Giselle and Winter, both 23 years old.
