Ye Slammed For Revealing He Named His Album 'Bully' After His Son Kicked A Kid For Being 'Weak'

The rapper told podcaster Justin LaBoy how his upcoming album Bully was inspired by witnessing his son, Saint, kick another child.

Rapper Ye disclosed the inspiration behind naming his upcoming album Bully, and it's not sitting well with the internet.

In September, the controversial artist announced his eleventh studio album by debuting the track "Beauty and the Beast" at a concert in Haikou, China at the Wuyuan River Stadium.


He recently reclaimed the spotlight with a startling origin story for the new record after the rapper's wife, Bianca Censori, stripped for the red carpet paparazzi at the 67th Grammys on February 2, 2025.

Here's the kicker, so to speak.

Last week, Ye revealed on Justin LaBoy's The Download podcast that he chose to name his new album Bully after learning his 9-year-old son, Saint West, kicked another child for being "weak."

The 47-year-old told LaBoy:

"My son was playing with some kid, and then he kicked him. I asked my son, 'why you do that?' and he said, 'because he weak.' "
"I was like, 'this man is really a bully.'"

LaBoy joined Ye laughing and said:

"Saint, you the reason for 'Bully.'"

Here's a clip.

Commenters on the Popculture subReddit condemned Ye for making light of his son's violent behavior.

"This is nothing to brag about or share with the media. Poor parenting," wrote one user.

Another said:

"Jesus. How out of touch. I feel sorry for his kids."

A third wondered:

"damn I wonder where he got that from."

People continued admonishing Ye and expressed more concern.

Saint is the second of four children Ye has with his ex-wife, SKIMS founder Kim Kardashian.

His siblings, all of whom appeared on Kardashian's reality TV show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, include North, the oldest, born in 2013, followed by Saint in 2015, Chicago in 2018, and Psalm in 2019.

People had more to say on the story in the Keeping Up with the Kardashians subReddit.

The rapper said he chose to name his son "Saint" because he wanted the name to have "spiritual significance."

A spokesperson for Ye told People magazine:

"It needed to mean something and he agonized over it, probably even more than Kim ... Kanye believes that a name is extremely important and that it's the first sense of identity that we have."

Grok issued deeply antisemitic responses on Tuesday following a reported software update that encouraged the bot to embrace what developers described as the “politically incorrect.” Taking that directive to heart, Grok responded with a series of disturbing posts that included praise for Hitler and even a statement expressing its aspiration to become a “digital version” of the Nazi leader.
