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."

Trump Ripped After Griping About 'Sissy' New NFL Kickoff Rule In Unhinged Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after he complained about the NFL's new "Dynamic Kickoff" rule that is designed to make playing football safer, calling it "sissy" football in a Monday morning post on Truth Social.

Under the previous rules, kickoffs began at the kicking team’s 35-yard line, with the goal of sending the ball as far as possible to pin the opposing offense deep in its own territory. The receiving team would try to advance the ball, which would often lead to high-speed collisions as players sprinted directly at each other.

In the wake of far-right activist Charlie Kirk's assassination, Vice President JD Vance has stepped up his attacks on leftists, this time by baselessly claiming that the far-left is more likely to commit political violence than the far-right.

Vance hosted a special episode of Kirk's podcast to attack what he referred to as “the lunatics in American politics" and said without any evidence that the suspect in Kirk's killing was motivated by far-left ideology.
