Kanye West has ramped up his redemption arc by revealing the release date for his new album Bully and plotting his first U.S. show in two years.
The Chicago rap icon updated his website on Monday (March 9) to announce that his upcoming 12th LP will arrive on March 27 — a week later than expected.
It was recently reported that the project will be distributed by gamma., the company cofounded by former Apple and Interscope executive Larry Jackson that has also struck partnerships with the likes of Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross and Usher.
Following the album’s release, Ye will perform at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium on April 3, marking his first domestic concert since his somewhat bizarre headlining set alongside Ty Dolla $ign at Rolling Loud California in March 2024.
The show is billed as Ye’s “only performance in Los Angeles.” Fans can pre-register for tickets by pre-saving Bully, with “a few lucky pre-registrants” being selected to receive free tickets. General tickets go on sale on Wednesday (March 11).
The concert is one of eight tour dates that Kanye has planned to promote Bully, with the other seven taking place in countries around the world.
He will kick things off on March 29 in New Delhi, India, before performing select shows in Turkey, the Netherlands, France, Italy and Spain through to July 30.
Thanks to his series of antisemitic outbursts that have derailed other aspects of his career, including his lucrative Yeezy partnership with Adidas, Kanye’s performances in recent years have largely been reduced to non-U.S. locations like China, South Korea and Mexico.
However, his upcoming Bully album and international tour come after Ye apologized for his antisemitic comments in a full-page ad published in The Wall Street Journal.
In the lengthy and candid letter, the 48-year-old admitted “deep regret” for his behavior and blamed it on the well-documented car accident that he suffered early in his career in 2002.
“Comprehensive scans were not done, neurological exams were limited, and the possibility of a frontal-lobe injury was never raised. It wasn’t properly diagnosed until 2023. That medical oversight caused serious damage to my mental health and led to my bipolar type-1 diagnosis,” he wrote.
Ye also insisted that he is “not a Nazi or an antisemite” and apologized to the Black community for “letting [them] down,” calling them “the foundation of who I am.”
He signed off: “As I find my new baseline and new center through an effective regime of medication, therapy, exercise, and clean living, I have newfound, much-needed clarity. I am pouring my energy into positive, meaningful art: music, clothing, design, and other new ideas to help the world.”
Where’s the merch still haven’t shipped merch from last year or the year before
Can’t wait for the Kool Klubs Kids Album to come out. Zig Hail
Ye, eat a frank ninja! I hate your lame ahh
Why are you here?
Ye Is Still A 🌈 🐟
Yet he still draws your attention whos really the homo then?
you
Pretending to be drake calling others what you are clearly something is wrong with you mentally when you OG ess this much over them
Are you sure you aren’t gay having to always say it all the time clearly you’re covering for something or just an old unsecure loser using multiple names to push you agebda
Sold out arenas unlike Kendrick. Funny all of you get defensive over him.
Actually Ye is the homo who admitted that he fondled his cousin’s ball sack . He’s also BFF’s with Diddy
Achieved more in life than you while you’re near 50 or older done nothing important except be a burden on society
Meanwhile you on welfare
Where’s Donda 3, Yage, Vultures 3, and A Perfect World also the collab albums with Travis and Carti Ye
Okay cool. Should be interesting
I saw Billy back on pre-order over 2 weeks ago. I have already pre-ordered it. People are sleeping but Ye has been bringing his best work in the last 3 years IMO. Not the most popular but it is definitely on a scale with his biggest hits as far as sound quality and creativity. Even the message itself.
Vultures was better and so was HH
If you like Dark Fantasy and maybe Yeezus this is for you if not no. Hope the Travis project gets rolled out right after
This sounds better than both personally don’t like those albums
It’s going to sell like crazy
Hope he keeps Kodak on Bulletproof
Actual talented rapper unlike these old head clout chasing bums like 50 and Papoose
Greatest Rapper Ever besides Wayne
Ye Is Him!
Greatest Ever!
People still checking for him?!?!?
Clearly you are. If you really didn’t care you wouldn’t be here but you took the time to comment
Gobblin’ his cousins wiener?
The song was about how adult material can mess up kids and his cousin taking advantage of him as a kid. Even Boosie defended it but you want to be ignorant
Meanwhile you’re what 50 years old complaining everyday mocking someone more successful than you because your life sucks and you’re insecure in yourself while he wins. Winning by being a billionaire, smashed female supermodels has a hot young wife, crashed Adidas stock by leaving, exposed the zionist talent agencies like WME run by Ari Emmanuel who covers for Hasan Piker, exposed the music industry, among other things oh and sells out arenas, merchandise, and has had #1 albums all the way to Vultures 1
While you suck dick for free suck at life go 86
Bro owns over 100,000nacres of land and multiple luxury houses while you got nothing. Actually made it as a rapper to this day, producer and fashion designer too billionaire as well. You stay being past 40 years old hating mad hip hop changed wanting to live in boomer world
No that’s Pusha T and Jay Z with Weinstein or Kendrick for Wasserman
Song was meant to show people if he can say that then do whatever do not fear embarrassment it holds you back. But go ahead be a loser like 50 cent
Aren’t you on welfare?
Hasn’t made a decent album in over a decade
Hard pass
Donda, Life Of Pablo, Ye, Donda 2, Vultures all great
Why comment? Also no has had multiple great albums but you zionists don’t get that go back to being kosher
He still is releasing top albums and music you just old go move on. More successful than you any way loser
Vultures 1 was Number 1 and tour sold out arenas so clearly he still is also produced Cari’s now platinum album Music and Travis’s Utopia. Donda also his best album that was not a decade ago. You just don’t get music or reality;

More excited for the Travis album
Protect Ye at all costs. Adidas CEO admits they were going to shoot him if they couldn’t sign him. Ye right again
King! Ye Is King!
Need a new tracklist
Dave Blunts dropped. He owes Ye an apology for selling out.
Hopefully A Perfect World comes out or leaks. Dave Blunts got the call so he cut ties with Ye. New song is good tho.
Sneako is on the album
A bunch of leaks out now his collab with Game out 40 Nights. Hopefully the song Tina leaks with Jim Jones.
Hope we get a Upchurch and Ye collab also YoungBoy too. Ye and Wayne need to do a collab album.
Sounds great
Copies been shipped out already. President Ye locked in the album.
Album sounds really good. Rumors Carti on the album. Early reports were Don Toliver was on this too he and trash fish Baby Keem.
Waiting on YAGE, In A Perfect World, Donda 3, Carti Ye, and Vultures 3. Also he was supposed to release Yandhi. Still hoping he adds features back to Donda 2 and tweaks Vultures 2 rereleasing them under Gamma.
Honestly think that he should work with Shoji Meguro, Home Made Kazoku, and Hideki Naganuma for a project.
This man is the now and future everything he does he just is what the world needs. Ye Is King And Will Always Be!!!!
Ye was the first guy to do the anime AMV’s and visualizers we see today things XXXTentacion and others did. The world needs Ye.
Hope we get a collab album Ye X Lil Wayne. Gamma needs to sell to Saudi Arabia then buy Wayne out from UMG.
What happened to his album with Drake? Also Iceman where is that? The Kbots really going in lying on Drake saying he’s bankrupt and UMG dropped him. He really can win his lawsuit.
Sounds great. Bro sold out SoFi and China show this Thursday.
Is Ye on Iceman for Drake?
Travis confirmed for Bully
Album delayed
Album delayed. But Yeat dropping tomorrow for sure with a ton of features. Makes sense Ye does not want to release same time. Shock drop is more likely maybe next month. Could try to tie it to Iceman since it seems Ye will be featured on that so release before Iceman then tie the 2 together.
