After releasing his joint album VULTURES with Ty Dolla $ign, Ye went to his latest listening event in Haikou, China this weekend to announce that he will be releasing a new album titled Bully.
At the end of his show at the Wuyuan River Stadium, he told the audience, “I have a new album to release. The title of the album is Bully and this song is called 'Beauty and the Beast.'” He gave a sneak peek of a new track from the album, in which West sings under a light instrumental with lyrics, "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." Mike Dean, Ye's longtime music collaborator, commented on Instagram and said that “Beauty and the Beast” is for his 2021 album.
After the announcement on stage, fans posted on the Internet that Ye performed a newer second version of “530,” a track from the second VULTURES album. A few hours after the show, Ye posted on his Instagram a photo from the event with the caption “BULLY.” The post has now been deleted. No official release date has been announced yet.
