Kanye West Brings Son Saint Into It
Kanye West continues to get his family involved in his latest antics. The rapper has released a short film, Bully, featuring his son Saint, days after putting his daughter North on a song with Sean “Diddy” Combs. West posted three versions of Bully to X on March 18 because “the first link started acting up,” he wrote. The black-and-white films all feature 9-year-old Saint hitting wrestlers with a mallet, set to a new Ye album. The rapper shared that he shot and directed the project, while longtime collaborator Hype Williams edited it; the three versions include “post-Hype” and “post-post-Hype” editions. In a deleted post, per Variety, West said the album was “not finished and half the vocals AI.” The album includes a sample of the Supremes’ “You Can’t Hurry Love” and vocals from Peso Pluma.
This comes after West posted and deleted a song with Diddy, who is currently in jail on sex-trafficking charges, that featured his daughter North West, on March 15. At the time, Kanye also posted screenshots of texts from his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, claiming he put the song out against her wishes. Kardashian has yet to respond to Kanye using their children in his recent work. However, after she shouted out Playboi Carti on Instagram for referencing her brand Skims on his new album, Music, Carti commented, “TELL MY NIECE NORTH SEND ME A SONG.”
This seemed to trigger Kanye, who dropped Bully in the middle of an X rant about Carti, with Kanye also claiming Carti snubbed him on Music. Kanye also attacked Jay-Z and his wife, Beyoncé, along with their children, over feeling abandoned by his once collaborator. Kanye has made antisemitic comments and used anti-gay and anti-disability slurs on X in the past 24 hours, on top of threatening Carti.
Kanye previously teased Bully on Justin Laboy’s podcast, The Download, in February, saying it was inspired by Saint kicking a kid he was playing with. “I asked my son, I said, ‘Why did you do that?’” Kanye explained. “And Saint responded with a simple, ‘’Cause he weak.’ And I was like, This man is really a bully right here.”
