Kanye West Clarifies ‘Bully’ Contains No AI, Contradicting Earlier Statement

Kanye West has stated his new album “Bully” was created without the use of artificial intelligence. This clarification directly contradicts an assertion he made in a 2025 interview with Justin Laboy, where he suggested otherwise.

The reversal highlights the ongoing and often ambiguous discourse around AI’s role in music production, particularly within high-profile releases. West’s latest statement seeks to firmly position the album as a product of human artistry, though the initial conflicting claim had already fueled speculation about his creative process.

No release date for “Bully” has been confirmed. The episode underscores how artist statements about technological tools can become a focal point of an album’s narrative, sometimes overshadowing the music itself.
