Kanye ‘Ye' West new album drop overshadowed by yet another disgusting social media meltdown
Controversial rapper Kanye 'Ye' West has surprised dropped his new album 'Bully' as a short film. He took to X to share the album today, an album which is in the format of a short film directed by Hype Williams.
The album is also available in three versions - 'Latest', 'Post Hype' and 'Post Post Hype' - all of which were shared for free via Frame.io.
For the time being, it's unclear whether the album will get a physical release or if it will be made available via other digital streaming platforms.
What is clear, however, is that the new album launch has been overshadowed by yet another social media meltdown, in which the rapper spewed bile and hateful comments that has left already conflicted fans horrified.
In his most recent X outburst, Ye declared himself as 'evil', has claimed he 'beat women' - much like Carti, who has faced accusations in 2023 of assaulting his then pregnant girlfriend.
He also renewed his support for Sean 'P Diddy' Combs, who is facing charges such as racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
Fans have spoken out on this recent meltdown, with many expressing shock and dismay over his recent comments. These can be summed up by a user who said: "It's getting harder and harder to defend you gang."
Last week, Ye dropped a new song, 'Lonely Roads Still Go To Sunsine' and claimed it featured Diddy, his son Christian 'King' Combs and West's own 11-year-old daughter, North.
This led to the release of text conversations in which his ex-wife Kim Kardashian revealed that she had sent paperwork to West so North 'wouldn't be in the Diddy song to protect her.' This was followed up by West telling Kardashian: 'Amend it or I'm going to war and neither of us will recover from the public fallout.' He concluded: 'You're going to have to kill me.'
This followed a string of highly controversial posts in which he posted a picture of KKK robes, rescind his apology to the Jewish community for his past antisemitic remarks, declare himself 'a Nazi' and assert that he has 'dominion over his wife'.
According to recent reports, Kardashian is reportedly weighing legal action to seek full custody of her four children with West.
An insider revealed to Us Weekly that Kardashian is 'in a very tough position when she really has to co-parent with him,' adding that Kardashian prioritizes her children's well-being.

Goodwin, 49, issued a scathing rebuke of his estranged wife Victoria who was arrested in Nevada in March for attempting to organize the murder of her husband with the help of her paramour, US Weekly reported. 3 Aaron Goodwin, 49, broke down in court as he confronted estranged wife Victoria who attempted to concoct a murder-for-hire plot targeting the Discovery Channel star. Getty Images Advertisement The ghost hunter revealed in the statement that Victoria was sleeping with 'multiple men' in the months leading up to the plot — including convicted killer Grant Amato — but he tried to work things out due to a sense of loving commitment. 'She made me feel so special and she was very — she was so sorry. At least that's what you told me,' Aaron said, speaking directly to his wife in court. 'Now, discovering she put a hit out to kill me more than once, got blackmailed and spent almost all of our savings to keep it quiet and fell more in love with Amato. They even got spiritual married and now I was called the first husband. They talked until she was arrested, and she sought out his help to kill me,' the 49-year-old revealed. Advertisement The Discovery Channel star said he was completely in the dark regarding the murder plot and the blackmail until he was told by detectives after Victoria's arrest. The 32-year-old's lover Grant Amato was convicted of massacring his mother, father, and brothers and was serving a life sentence in a Florida prison when Victoria reached out as a pen pal following his starring role in documentary 'Ctrl+Alt+Desire.' 3 Victoria Goodwin, 32, issued an apology to her estranged husband, who said he did not recognize her as the person he married.

I genuinely pray you find your joy and peace again, and I will bow out of your life forever to hopefully ease that process,' she continued. Advertisement 'I'm sorry I broke us, and I'm consumed with regret every day. My absolute promise to you is that you'll never see or hear from me,' she said. The 32-year-old went on to issue apologies to her parents and to the Florida court, which handed her down a steep sentence for the attempt at organizing a violent betrayal. Victoria was sentenced to a minimum of 36 months to a maximum of 90 months on Thursday, according to the report.

Sarah Michelle Gellar Says Children of Original ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Actors Auditioned for Reboot
Sarah Michelle Gellar revealed that she saw some familiar names on the audition roster for the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot. The actress who played Buffy Summers in the original series, which ran for seven seasons from 1997 to 2003, recently chatted with Us Weekly with her former Buffy co-star Alyson Hannigan, who portrayed Willow Rosenberg. During the interview, Hannigan confessed, 'I know somebody who auditioned for something on the show.' More from The Hollywood Reporter 'Buffy' Update at Hulu Casts Ryan Kiera Armstrong as the New Slayer 'Ready or Not' Sequel Enlists Sarah Michelle Gellar, Elijah Wood Slay! Inside the Buffy Prom, Where Fans of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Partied Like It Was 1999 However, Gellar also knew some people. 'I know somebody who was on the show whose child auditioned on the show,' she revealed. 'I know a few people from the show whose children came in.' 'It better not have been one of my kids,' Hannigan quipped in response. Though the Wolf Pack star didn't reveal the names of those who auditioned, last week it was announced that Star Wars: Skeleton Crew actress Ryan Kiera Armstrong has been cast in a lead role in Hulu's pilot for the reboot. The new show will also see Gellar reprise her role as Buffy Summers. 'From the moment I saw Ryan's audition, I knew there was only one girl that I wanted by my side,' Gellar said in a statement regarding Armstrong's casting. 'To have that kind of emotional intelligence, and talent, at such a young age is truly gift. The bonus is that her smile lights up even the darkest room.' Most details on Armstrong's role, as well as the show itself, are being kept under wraps. The original series, which also starred Nicholas Brendon, Anthony Head, James Marsters and Emma Caulfield Ford, followed Buffy Summers, destined to slay vampires, demons and other infernal creatures, as she dealt with her life of fighting evil, with the help of her friends. A premiere date for the reboot has yet to be revealed.

It Doesn't Matter If the Kardashians Are Honest About Their Plastic Surgery
It isn't new for someone to hop on a mic and ask a Kardashian to reveal the specifics of their plastic surgeries—but it is new for one of them to respond in kind. '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! Hope this helps lol,' is what Kylie Jenner recently commented on a video from a content creator seeking to emulate her second breast augmentation. It was an instantly viral moment—probably because Kylie hadn't even confirmed she'd had a second breast augmentation to begin with. (She previously commented on having her breasts augmented at 19, which she regretted, but had not yet addressed speculation that she'd had them redone in recent years.) This shortly follows Kris Jenner shocking the world just a couple of weeks ago with a new face that looked decades younger. Though she didn't come right out to reveal what she'd had done, she didn't deny mass speculation that a facelift was the culprit, either. In fact, her representatives confirmed to Page Six that she had 'recent work' done by Steven Levine, MD. They didn't specify what procedure she'd undergone, but seeing as Dr. Levine specializes in SMAS facelifts, the internet put two and two together. These two incidents alone make for a surprising streak of transparency about cosmetic procedures from the Kardashian family. Though they've all been getting some rather blatant work done during their tenure in the spotlight, most of them have flat-out denied having done so (at least initially) or remained hush until public speculation became a PR liability. For years on end, their consistent denial of being surgically enhanced has been a frustration of both fans and haters, who've felt gaslit and sometimes even exploited by such denials. In Kylie's case, she infamously denied getting lip filler for years despite obvious and sudden changes in her lip shape and size (she later said in an interview she regrets lying about that). In recent years, Khloé Kardashian has admitted to getting a nose job and Botox but has consistently denied having anything else done, even to her ever-changing body. One time, Allure straight-up asked Kim Kardashian what work she'd had done to her face; she said she had 'a little bit of Botox' and no filler, ever. She denied getting so much as eyelash extensions. But now that we're getting a taste of what we've been begging for from the Kardashians for 15 years now, does it change anything? Does it help anyone outside of their family? If you ask me, not at all. I've got mixed feelings about what, if anything, celebrities owe the public when it comes to transparency about how they achieve their appearance, but I tend to veer toward 'that's up to them, even if it goes against my personal morals.' Still, I understand why people crave transparency from the Kardashians specifically; I certainly did until a couple of years ago, when something inside me snapped and I simply ceased to care. In the 2010s, the Kardashian face quickly became the blueprint for today's modern beauty standards (i.e. 'Instagram face')—and they used that blueprint to make a fucking killing. As you know, the whole time Kylie was in her lip-filler-denial era, she was building a multimillion-dollar cosmetic empire with Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kits, which she mostly promoted by wearing herself. Khloé, perpetually questioned about her denial of undergoing weight loss and other body-enhancement procedures, has sold tons of athleisure wear, hawked fitness supplements, and hosted a weight loss reality show called Revenge Body in 2017. When Kim denied having anything other than Botox in our interview, she was fresh off the launch of her skin-care brand, SKKN By Kim. 'Our demands for the Kardashians' transparency have been misguided all along. What we've actually been seeking all this time is an apology.' So it's more than fair for people to feel cheated by this family and the impossible beauty standard they not only created but positioned as attainable with products they just so happened to be selling. Although many if not most people could see through the bullshit, the business strategy clearly worked on us, if their million- and billion-dollar net worths are anything to go by. It was all exacerbated, of course, by unyielding media churn. Media outlets are what gave the Kardashians their spotlight in the first place, and the resulting exponential popularity created a cycle wherein any move they made provided major opportunities for clicks, magazine cover sales, and TV ratings—and that media coverage made them even more famous in turn, regardless of whether the engagement was coming from adoring fans or hate-clicks. The Kardashians were inescapable, whether people at home liked it or not. So we all felt the pressure to keep up with the Kardashians, or at the very least became convinced their snatched faces and physiques were something worth aiming for, even if we understood it was done with lifestyle changes and cosmetic procedures and professional guidance most people don't have enough money or spare time to access. That pressure remains today, and things have changed too much for transparency to make a difference now. Fifteen years ago, it seems the Kardashians didn't want to risk impeding the sales of their then-burgeoning brands. Now that those brands have endless influence and the family has enough wealth to endure for generations, there's really no risk in admitting to the world that they get plastic surgery. And it isn't coming from a place of humility or relatability. It's another calculated business strategy. The hyperawareness of plastic surgery in today's social media landscape has simply changed the way the Kardashian family plays their game. Back in the day, getting work done was so taboo that you'd be mortified to see your name appear next to the word 'facelift' in a front-page headline. But now, as the internet heralds certain celebrities' plastic surgery results, revealing the details of one's own procedure(s) provides an opportunity to hold court in a positive light. Kylie was celebrated for sliding into that comment section with all her breast implant deets. The fan reactions in the same comment section are rife with sentiments like 'Her responding is so king kylie of her,' and 'she's for the girls,' and 'Kylie is the ultimate girls' girl.' The casual way she confirmed the procedure made her seem laid back, as if she'd never cared in the first place if people knew she'd had work done, and the masses ate it up. (Kylie's comment, by the way, has mysteriously disappeared from that post.) I do think that this transparency is too little, too late. But also, if the Kardashians had been more open about their cosmetic procedures 15, 10, or even 5 years ago, would that have realistically helped us? In retrospect, I don't think it would have changed anything, and the intense beauty standard we all feel pressured to maintain would have remained regardless, what with the ubiquity of front-facing cameras and the pandemic-fueled Zoom boom. At the end of the day, everyone processes information differently. If a Kardashian had copped to a butt lift 10 years ago, some of us might have felt a little relief from the era's massive-ass craze, but chances are plenty of people would have just gotten a butt lift and moved on (and people did that in droves without the confirmation regardless). I've realized in the past couple of weeks that our demands for the Kardashians' transparency have been misguided all along. On the surface, what people were asking for was a little more honesty from them, but I think what we've actually been seeking all this time is an apology, some kind of recognition that the impossible beauty standard they helped set has hurt us. Closure. But knowing for sure that Kris got a facelift or that Kylie has breast implants can't and won't resolve the feelings of resentment so many of us have toward them for their impact on how we're expected to present ourselves. And we shouldn't expect the Kardashians—or anyone famous, for that matter—to give us that. Not because they don't owe it to us, but because that closure has to come from within ourselves. If the family's treatment of plastic surgery discourse bothers you on a moral level, the best use of your time and energy is to simply disengage with it, lest you feed their flames with rage-clicks. If you're willing to forgive and forget, that's fine, too. Just take all of this with a hefty grain of salt. More beauty news: No 69-Year-Old Looks Like Kris Jenner IRL. Not Even Kris Jenner.
