Kanye West is once again making headlines, and this time, it’s for both his music and ongoing controversies. His latest album, BULLY V1, which he initially leaked on social media earlier this week, has now been officially released as an extended music video on YouTube. The project is accompanied by wrestling-themed visuals, adding an aggressive, theatrical flair to the rollout.
Despite Ye’s recent tirades and divisive public statements, BULLY V1 has managed to capture massive attention. The album has reportedly reached the No. 1 spot on YouTube’s trending page in the U.S., amassing approximately 1.4 million views at the time of writing. While some debate whether it topped the charts for all content or just music videos, its rapid rise in popularity proves that Kanye’s influence remains undeniable—even in the face of controversy.
With his unpredictable approach to music releases and public discourse, it remains to be seen how BULLY V1 will fare in the long run. But for now, Kanye West has once again commanded the spotlight.
