AceShowbiz - Kanye West has announced that he's working on a new album called "Bully." The Chicago MC made the revelation during a show in China on September 28. West gave fans a taste of what's to come by playing one new song from the album, "Beauty and the Beast."

The news has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some fans eager to hear more, while others remain skeptical. West's announcement follows leaked text messages earlier this month suggesting that he was locked in with producer Digital Nas, who praised the rapper for being in his "full Ye art studio mode."

The album title, "Bully," is reportedly inspired by Larry Clark's 2001 film about a group of teens who kill their abusive friend. Some speculate that West's choice of title symbolizes his desire to break free from control especially following his battle with Adidas.

West has a history of working on multiple projects simultaneously. He recently released "Vultures 1" and "Vultures 2" with Ty Dolla $ign, with the third installment of the trilogy still pending. It remains unclear when "Bully" will be released in full.

While focusing on his musical endeavors, West is offloading one of his properties: his Malibu mansion for $21 million after purchasing it in 2021 for $57.3 million. The property was sold to Belwood Investments, a real estate crowdfunding firm.
