Kanye West just dropped a surprise on his fans—his latest album, Bully, which he dedicated to his 8-year-old son, Saint. But that’s not all. Alongside the album, Kanye released multiple versions of a full-length film, with visuals edited and stylized by renowned filmmaker Hype Williams.
In his first post on X, Kanye shared a link to the Bully film, explaining that while the album wasn’t fully finished, he wanted fans to experience it as a kind of test run. Then, in classic Kanye fashion, he doubled down, releasing three additional cuts of the film within hours. These versions were labeled the “screening version,” the “post-Hype version,” and the “post-post-Hype version,” showcasing his ever-evolving creative process.
One standout feature of the film? Saint West himself. The 8-year-old takes center stage in a wrestling ring, wielding a mallet against professional wrestlers from New Japan Pro-Wrestling, including YOH, Toru Yano, Tiger Mask, and El Desperado. The entire sequence plays out across a 30-minute runtime, adding a unique visual element to the album’s rollout.
This high-profile project comes at a sensitive time for Kanye, as reports indicate that his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, is considering pursuing full custody of their four children—North (11), Saint (8), Chicago (6), and Psalm (5). According to Us Weekly, sources claim that co-parenting with Kanye has become increasingly difficult due to his unpredictable public behavior. One insider shared that Kim is doing her best to protect her children’s well-being, while another source expressed concerns over how Kanye’s actions might affect them.
With Bully now out in the world—and its unusual rollout sparking conversations—it’s clear that Kanye West is once again making waves, both in music and in his personal life.
