, and this song is called

," he told the audience. According to a
Wion
report on January 28, 2025,
Bully
is Kanye's 11th studio album, following

The project, inspired by the 2001 crime drama directed by Larry Clark, will feature 13 tracks and collaborations with Sean Leon, Don Toliver, and Dr. Dre. The album cover was designed by renowned Japanese photographer Daidō Moriyama.
Jim Jones, who recently visited Kanye in Tokyo, took to Instagram on January 27, 2025, to express his excitement over the album.

We not takin no for answers we are th BULLY. Safe to say @ye back aka THE REAL BILLY GOAT pun intended."

Drake has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the artist with the most RIAA Diamond certifications ever — a total of ten. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) confirmed the news on May 28, announcing that his singles 'Hold On, We're Going Home' and 'Best I Ever Had' have now reached Diamond status, joining an already impressive list. With this update, Drake's Diamond-certified catalog also includes hits like 'God's Plan,' 'One Dance,' 'Hotline Bling,' Travis Scott's 'SICKO MODE,' 'Life Is Good' with Future, Lil Wayne's 'Love Me,' and Chris Brown's 'No Guidance.' These achievements place Drake ahead of Garth Brooks and Post Malone, who each hold nine Diamond certifications. The RIAA celebrated the milestone with a social media post showcasing all 10 plaques. Drake now stands as the first artist to hit double-digit Diamond certifications across both singles and albums. An 11th certification may be on the horizon, with 'Nice for What' currently certified 9x Platinum. Fans quickly reacted on social media. 'You just simply can't say anything bad about this,' one person wrote. Others used the occasion to reference Drake's ongoing rivalry with Kendrick Lamar, commenting, 'Looks like the 20v1 didn't work out!' Beyond the certifications, Drake continues to stay active. In February, he released his collaborative album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U with PARTYNEXTDOOR, with two tracks still charting on the Billboard Hot 100. This summer, he's scheduled to headline all three nights of Wireless Festival in London from July 11–13 and is also planning the return of OVO Fest in Toronto. Drake's consistency and dominance show no signs of slowing down.

Ye South Korea concert canceled amid controversies, streaming bans, and public backlash
Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, will no longer be performing in South Korea later this month. His concert at Incheon Munhak Main Stadium, originally scheduled for May 31, 2025, has been officially canceled. Ticketing platform Interpark Global announced the cancellation on its website, citing 'recent controversies' involving the artist. 'We regret to inform you that the 'YE LIVE IN KOREA' concert… has been canceled due to recent controversies involving the artist Kanye West (YE),' the statement reads. 'We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. All purchased tickets will be automatically canceled, and full refunds will be processed sequentially.' Reuters also confirmed the cancellation on May 19, noting the involvement of South Korean e-commerce company Coupang in the scrapped event. The decision follows a series of contentious incidents involving Ye in recent months. The rapper has come under fire for making anti-Semitic and anti-LGBTQ remarks across his social media platforms. Earlier this month, Ye claimed that his song 'Heil Hitler' was banned from all major streaming services. In a post on X, he criticized what he sees as inconsistency in censorship policies, writing: 'Heil Hitler by Ye has been banned by all digital streaming platforms… While Rednecks by Randy Newman remains streamable. They're literally keeping the n—-s down.' His most recent media appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored ended abruptly after Ye walked off the set following a heated exchange. Before leaving, he defended his public persona and contributions to music and culture. As of now, Ye has not issued a public response to the concert cancellation. He was recently seen in Mallorca, Spain, alongside his wife Bianca Censori and social media figures Sneako and Digital Nas.
