Kanye West's 'Bully' Album Delayed, But New Partnership With Independent Label Gamma Secures Release Date
Rapper Kanye West has signed with independent record label Gamma, a partnership that has secured the release date of his highly anticipated album, "Bully," previously thought to be released on January 30. The new release date is now set for March 20.
West, formerly known as Ye, has been working on the album, which will mark his 12th studio effort, for some time. Despite various leaks and releases of snippets, the full album was not expected until late February or early March. However, a source close to West confirmed that he is still finalizing the tracklist.
The announcement comes as West has been focusing on personal growth and self-improvement, having recently taken out an ad in The Wall Street Journal apologizing for past behavior and announcing his journey with bipolar disorder. In his statement, West expressed remorse for using the swastika symbol and assured fans that he loves Jewish people and is not a Nazi.
In recent years, West has had a tumultuous career, including a highly publicized falling out with Def Jam/UMG, which dropped him after making antisemitic remarks. The label change marks a new chapter in his decorated yet turbulent career.
West's partnership with Gamma follows a stacked roster of artists, including Mariah Carey, Sexyy Red, and Usher. With the new release date set for March 20, fans can look forward to West's "Bully" album finally dropping after months of anticipation.
