Kanye West has revealed the unusual story behind the name of his upcoming album Bully. 

West, 47, said he decided to name the album Bully after learning his nine-year-old son Saint had allegedly kicked a child for being ‘weak’.

‘My son was playing with some kid and then he kicked him,’ he explained to Justin Laboy on The Download. 

‘I asked my son, I said, “Why did you do that.” And he said, “Cause he weak,”‘ West, who shares Saint with ex-wife Kim Kardashian, said.  

‘And I was like, “This man is really a bully right here,”‘ Kanye added with a laugh.

‘Saint, you’re the reason for bully!’ LaBoy said.

On X, one said it was ‘crazy’ West named the album due to the alleged kicking incident. 

‘Kanye telling us he named his album “Bully” because Saint kicked a child and said he did it because he’s weak is crazy,’ the user posted.

In addition to Saint, West shares three other children with his ex-wife Kardashian; daughters North, 11, Chicago, seven, and son Psalm, five. 

In 2023 Saint found himself receiving a scolding after he exhibited some bad behavior while out with his mother.

As Saint stepped out of his mother’s vehicle, he flipped the bird, prompting his mother to immediately reprimand him. ‘Stop!’ Kim, 44, said. 

Also on the podcast, West revealed he believes he was an ‘Emperor King’ in a past life as he explained why he loves being in Japan so much.

The rapper often spends time in Japan alongside his wife Bianca Censori, and now he has explained just why he loves visiting the country.

Speaking on the latest episode of Justin Laboy’s podcast The Download, Kanye explained: ‘I love the temples. I love how people are with you, it’s just really respectful.

‘And my wife said that in a past life I was a king, I was an emperor out here.’

And as his eldest daughter North West begins to pursue a career in the music industry, the father of four expressed his wishes for her to follow in his footsteps as the ‘hands down greatest’.

The star – who caused controversy after he walked the red carpet with his nearly ɴuᴅᴇ wife Bianca at the Grammys – explained: ‘I always liked the idea of having a school and both my mum and my dad were professional teachers so that makes me a natural teacher in my blood.

‘I’m just thinking about how her album is going to be insane and how everything that I learned that I could have it flow through her.

‘[I want] her to become the greatest, the next frontier because we’re like the Kings in Africa or something where it’s just pᴀssed down.

‘Like I’m the hands down greatest so she going to be the hands down greatest.’

Last month North made a surprise feature on FKA Twigs’ third studio album, EUSєxUA as she fluently rapped in Japanese on the track тιтled, Childlike Things.

The track has already earned North a top 10 hit on a Billboard songs chart this week
