Kanye West Reveals His Son Saint Inspired the Title of His Upcoming Album Bully

Kanye West, also known as Ye, has announced that his forthcoming album, titled Bully, was inspired by an incident involving his nine-year-old son, Saint.  

In a recent appearance on Justin LaBoy's podcast, The Download, West recounted an event where Saint kicked another child and justified his actions by stating, "Because he [was] weak." This behavior led West to reflect on the concept of bullying, ultimately influencing the album's title.  

The album is scheduled for release on June 15, coinciding with his daughter North's birthday, and marks West's first major project in over three years. Despite his separation from Kim Kardashian in 2022, with whom he shares four children—North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm—West remains actively involved in their lives and often draws creative inspiration from his family experiences.  

In the same interview, West disclosed that he was previously misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder and has since been correctly diagnosed with autism. He credited his wife, Bianca Censori, for encouraging him to seek a re-evaluation after she observed inconsistencies with the initial diagnosis. West stated that understanding his autism has provided clarity regarding his past behaviors and decisions.
