Kanye West has confirmed that his long-delayed album Bully will not use artificial intelligence and shared its tracklist on social media.
On Wednesday (March 25), the 48-year-old rapper said there will be “no AI” on his highly anticipated album. “BULLY ON THE WAY NO AI,” he wrote, sharing the project’s tracklist on X, formerly Twitter.
In January, West’s inner circle moved to quell concerns that his upcoming album Bully would incorporate artificial intelligence. Music manager Peter Jideonwo confirmed on X that the record is AI-free, writing, “(There) is no AI on Bully.” The Yeezy support team also verified the claim via email, according to the platform Infolky.
Former Yeezy chief of staff Milo Yiannopoulos weighed in as well, posting on X: “For those who need to hear it from a white man, No AI on Bully.” The support team reiterated the announcement in a separate email.
The clarification contradicts statements West made in February 2025, when he told Justin Laboy that Bully would use AI and even demonstrated transforming another artist’s vocals into his own. “It's like the next version of sampling,” he said at the time. “Like when sampling happened, they hated it.”
Bully was originally set to release on January 30, a date that has since passed. The album, which is now slated to arrive March 30, is expected to feature 13 tracks, several of which fans have already heard in some form. West first announced the project at a 2024 listening event in China, where he unveiled the track “Beauty and the Beast.” Last month, he made a surprise appearance at the Hollywood Improv to announce the album was imminent, capping a rollout described by NME as “characteristically chaotic and delayed.”
