Kanye West had the fandom on a rollercoaster for the release of his latest album, 'Bully.' This is his 12th studio album and also his first solo effort since 'Donda' in 2022, which explains the anticipation. It has been heavily promoted through striking billboard campaigns and cryptic teasers. 

Despite sparing no stones during promotions, the delivery itself has been constantly delayed with several release dates having come and gone. However, the album's release still remains has anticipated as ever and now Kanye West has once again come forth with a new 'Bully' release date.

Kanye West has made several promises since 2024 about releasing his album, 'Bully', many of which have gone unfulfilled. One such announcement was a planned release on January 30 of this year, which passed without any drop. After disappointing fans multiple times, Ye has finally teased that 'Bully' would arrive on March 27.

Alongside the release date announcement, he also clarified that the album involves no use of AI. And perhaps in an effort to reassure fans, the artist even shared the 20-song tracklist. He penned down the list for 'Bully' and shared it on his social media (Instagram) on March 26, 2026.

'Bully' tracklist: 'Sisters and Brothers'. 'Whatever Works', 'Father', 'All the Love', 'I Can’t Wait'. 'Bully', 'Mama’s Favorite', 'Punch Drunk', 'This a Must', 'Outside', 'Preacherman', 'White Lines', 'Circles', 'This One Here', 'King', 'Beauty and the Beast', 'Damn', 'Last Breath', 'Highs and Lows', 'Mission Control'.

While there is plenty of excitement and anticipation surrounding the album, what truly caught fans’ attention was West’s mention of the project having no AI involvement.

 Those who have been following the development of this particular album, 'Bully,' will know that this is not a simple message, especially since the 'Vultures' debacle.

The chatter around AI dates back to February 2025, when Kanye West told Justin Laboy that he is all in for experimenting with AI as it makes sampling much easier. The artist was of the mind set that the repulsion to the AI is akin to the reaction people had towards auto tune and believed that it would become the standard.

“Like when sampling happened, they hated it," Kanye West said in his interview with Justin Laboy.

However, those claims were later walked back by people close to him, who clarified that the album does not use AI. Music manager Peter Jideonwo addressed the speculation on X. And former Yeezy chief of staff Milo Yiannopoulos shared the same sentiment. 

“For those who need to hear it from a white man, No AI on Bully,” he wrote.

Now, West himself has also clarified that there is no AI involvement in the project. At this point, however, the fandom seems less concerned about AI and more focused on whether the artist will finally keep his promise and release the album on the expected date.
