Kanye West is introducing fans to the sound of his forthcoming album, Bully. On Instagram, he teases “Beauty and the Beast” from Tokyo while stating that the Bully album is on the way. You can hear the tease below.

Yesterday, TMZ reported that Kanye West and Bianca Censori “split up a few weeks ago” and are “possibly headed for divorce.” That may no longer be the case.
The married (?) couple were spotted together in a Tokyo mall on Tuesday. “At one point, Censori put her hands around her husband’s face as they took the escalator up to another floor,” according to Page Six. “She also had her arm wrapped around his as they walked into a store.” It was the first time West and Censori were photographed with each other in public since mid-September.
Does this mean they’re back together? Were they ever apart? All we know is what we see in photos and hear from anonymous insiders, including one who told The Daily Mail that West and Censori have been “drifting apart.”
They continued, “Bianca started to see the relationship in a new light when her friends and family voiced concerns about the way she was dressing in public and Kanye felt that she wasn’t as into him as she was in the beginning. There are no hard feelings but she couldn’t ignore her family when they asked her to explain the stranger parts of their relationship. They have broken up before so there is a chance they’ll reunite.” It may have already happened.
Kanye West and Bianca Censori‘s relationship might be over.
According to TMZ, the pair “split up a few weeks ago” and are “possibly headed for divorce.” Censori has reportedly traveled to Australia by herself to spend time with her family. As for Ye, he’s been “telling people close to him he plans to live in Tokyo… and divorce Bianca.”
West and Censori (who started working for the rapper’s fashion brand, Yeezy, as an architectural designer in 2020) tied the knot in 2022 following his high-profile divorce from Kim Kardashian. But there’s been rumors of acrimony between the couple nearly ever since, including an alleged intervention staged by Censori’s friends.
“Her friends let her know exactly how they feel and they told her that she needs to wake the f*ck up,” a source told The Daily Mail. “She knows that she has shut out those close to her and she is also starting to see through the smoky mirrors of her marriage. She is aware of Kanye’s controlling ways and she is starting to see things from an outside perspective.”
The last time West and Censori were photographed together in public was in mid-September, when they visited a Tokyo supermarket. Since then, it’s been Kanye traveling solo through Japan.
Rather than straight-up concerts, lately, Kanye West has been hosting events that are more like listening parties, where his music plays and he himself isn’t rapping. Last night (September 9), Ye shared a clip from one of these performances, in South Korea on August 23, on his Instagram, and it drew the attention of Tyler The Creator.
Tyler seemed perhaps confused or frustrated about what’s going on, as he commented on the post (as HotNewHipHop notes), “n**** u was right there just say the words!!!!!!!! [heart-eyes emojis].”
The event itself seemed pretty comprehensive, though. As setlist.fm notes, songs from West and Ty Dolla Sign’s Vultures albums were played from their studio versions, but then West performed 54 of his own songs.
There was some speculation in 2023 that Tyler had dissed Ye on “Stuntman” from Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale. Tyler explained at the time, though, “I’ve seen fans saying on the last verse of ‘Stuntman,’ people were like, ‘Oh, he’s talking about Kanye!.’ And I’m like, ‘You guys are f*cking stupid and have terrible comprehension skills.’ I would never disrespect — like, no, I love that n****. That is not about him. It’s actually about the rest of the world.”
Kanye West dropped off Vultures 2 alongside Ty Dolla $ign, an album long-awaited by fans after the original hit at the top of the year. That would put Ye back at No. 1, right? Nope. Taylor Swift and the Swifties returned The Turtured Poets Department to the top of the Billboard 200.
With Vultures 2 debuting at No. 2, Ye’s streak of 11 consecutive No. 1 albums has ended.
Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s album Vultures 2 debuts at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 107,000 equivalent album units earned. Released on August 3, the album is the highly anticipated sequel to the chart-topping Vultures 1, which launched at No. 1 on February 24 with 148,000 units. In its first week, Vultures 2 sold 60,500 albums, earned 46,000 SEA units (equivalent to 50.44 million on-demand streams), and 500 TEA units. Additionally, Vultures 2 debuts at No. 6 on the Top Streaming Albums chart and No. 2 on the Top Album Sales chart.
The album’s opening solid sales were bolstered by its availability in multiple formats, including a standard explicit edition and a clean edition released later on August 8. Ye’s official website also offered five additional explicit digital album variants on August 7 and 8, each featuring the standard album’s 16 tracks and one exclusive bonus track, priced at $5 each. Additionally, both the clean and explicit versions of Vultures 2 were discounted to $4.99 in the iTunes Store during the tracking week.
Vultures 2 was initially scheduled for release on March 8.

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign fans are currently waiting for Vultures 2, and it’s currently unknown when the project will surface. In fact, based on what Ye supposedly just said, it looks like it may never come out at all.
On his Instagram Story today (July 9), Rich The Kid shared what is allegedly a screenshot of a text message conversation between Kanye West and himself. In it, West writes, “I am retiring from professional music. Not sure what else to do.”

Rich responds, “Retire? Why ? How ? The ppl NEED you the music you & Ty & we have made was the BIGGEST STAMP in culture to this date In 2024. Drop Ye about mine & V2 and we do it all over again the kids need you big bra fasho maybe some time to chill but retiring ain’t it.”
West has certainly become a controversial figure in recent years, but if he were to retire today and not release any more music, his body of work as it stands now would be among the all-time greats.
He has 11 No. 1 albums to his name, making him one of only a few artists with at least 10. West also has five No. 1 singles, starting with 2005’s “Gold Digger” and most recently with his latest one, “Carnival” alongside Ty Dolla Sign, Rich The Kid, and Playboi Carti. He has earned 75 Grammy Award nominations and picked up 24 wins.
On June 10, Candace Owens launched her new show, marking her first public appearance since parting ways with the Daily Wire.
Back like we never left.
Thank you to every single one of you who has supported me throughout these past few tumultuous months.
Genuinely could not have brought the show back so quickly without you.
And as always, praise be to God. https://t.co/xdnueFE2Rj pic.twitter.com/k284PkjnzX

The premiere episode has gone viral, notably featuring Kanye West’s song “Stars” as its theme. Key lyrics, “This that rip up the contract / Fuck all that,” underscore Owens’ break from her former employer. Owens and West’s teams collaborated before the launch, with West granting permission to use the track. Owens also previewed her forthcoming interview with Ye.
The episode also teased an upcoming interview with West and included Owens’ rebuttal to accusations from the Daily Wire’s Andrew Klavan. The show’s debut has sparked widespread discussion and solidified Owens’ independent media presence.

Disney added yet another celebrity child to their casting ranks. This coming December, Blue Ivy Carter will co-star alongside her mother, Beyoncé, in Mufasa: The Lion King. Before the CGI-animated prequel hits theaters, lovers of The Lion King were treated to another musical dose of the classic film.
Yesterday (May 24), North West joined in on the fun as part of the film’s 30th anniversary show (Disney’s The Lion King 30th Anniversary – A Live-to-Film Concert Event) at Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California. In the role of Young Simba, West displayed both her acting and singing skills performing one of the movie’s breakout song, “I Just Can’t Wait to be King.”

In the sold-out crowd, West received support from both of her famous family, including dad Ye (better known as Kanye West), mother Kim Kardashian, and grandmother Kris Jenner. As she left the stage, Kim was waiting close by to embrace her daughter following her major accomplishment.

On Instagram, Kim continued the love by uploading images of the flower arrangement sent to West, along with custom cookies made with West’s face.
This is not West’s first venture into entertainment. Near the top of the year, she appeared on her father and Ty Dolla Sign’s song “Talking/Once Again.” However, West’s casting marked her debut musical role.
According to reports, for those who can’t catch the second performance today (May 25) starring North West, Jennifer Hudson, Heather Headley, Lebo M., Billy Eichner, Jason Weaver, and more, the special will air on Disney+. Find more information here.
Ty Dolla $ign is dropping off a Vultures 2 update now that the promised release May 3 release date has come and gone without new music.
Speaking with a Russian YouTube, Ty didn’t deliver a concrete date but said “ASAP.”
“‘Vultures 2’ is on the way,” Ty Dolla Sign said. “It’s coming soon. Any day now. It could be tomorrow.”
But there is a catch, the album will only be on the YZY App. So no Spotify, no Apple Music, no TIDAL.
You can see the details below.
TY DOLLA said, VULTURES 2 could drop “Today, next Friday, any Day”
