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."

RFK Jr. Gets Hilariously Brutal Reminder After Asking People What Their First Jobs Were

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was widely mocked after he published a post on X on Labor Day asking people to share what their first job was—a rather odd question from a man who faces regular criticism for being utterly unqualified for his role overseeing the nation’s public health apparatus.

Kennedy wrote the following on X:

Jobs That People Romanticize Too Much Until They Actually Do Them

As children, most of us try on different future identities and occupations. As a 5-year-old, I thought being either a firefighter or a nun would be ideal.

My plans changed as I got older.

Kristi Noem Dragged After Making Wild Claim About How Trump Saved LA By Sending In Troops

Longtime MAGA acolyte Kristi Noem lied on Face the Nation in a desperate bid to justify Republican President Donald Trump's retaliatory act of sending the National Guard and active duty Marines to Los Angeles without cause.

Public perception has largely been against Trump's targeting of major cities in states governed by his political rivals.

Dominic Monaghan's Racy LOTR Throwback!

Middle-earth just got a little steamier. Dominic Monaghan—Peter Jackson’s forever-cheeky Merry Brandybuck—decided to bless Instagram with a throwback that looks like it was ripped straight from the hobbit-loving corners of LOTR fanfic.

The photo, taken during the 2001–2003 filming years, shows Monaghan shirtless and lounging in bed alongside Billy Boyd, who played Peregrin “Pippin” Took, and Orlando Bloom, who rose to fame as Legolas, in bed together.

Heroic Dad Who Helped Save Boy After He Wandered Onto Hersheypark Monorail Tracks Speaks Out

All parents know that it takes just a split second for a child to crawl into the next room or disappear into a crowd—or even to climb a towering monorail, apparently.

Fortunately for one young boy in Pennsylvania last weekend, fellow father John Sampson was thinking on his feet and ready to take action.
