Days after featuring his daughter North West on a controversial track with jailed rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, Kanye West is putting another of his four children in the spotlight.
West, 47, dropped three different versions of a film titled Bully, set to music from a forthcoming album of the same name, early Wednesday, March 19. The film features his son, Saint, 9, in a starring role.
The different cuts of the film range in length from 22 minutes to 45 minutes and feature Saint inside a wrestling ring. The youngster can be seen wielding a mallet as he faces off against various wrestlers.
“EVERY VERSION OF THE BULLY FILM,” West wrote via X, sharing links to three different versions of Bully, labeled “Screening Version,” “Post Hype Version” and “Post Post Hype Version.”
In February, West said the new album’s title was inspired by Saint’s behavior. “My son was playing with some kid, and then he kicked him. And I asked my son, I said, ‘Why did you do that?’ and he said, ‘Cos he weak,’ and I was like, ‘This man is really a bully,’” the rapper said during an interview with Justin LaBoy.
West shares daughters North, 11, and Chicago, 7, and sons Saint and Psalm, 5, with his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.
On Saturday, March 15, West released a song featuring North and Diddy, 55, titled “Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine,” despite Kardashian’s apparent attempts to stop its release.
In an alleged text message exchange between Kardashian and West, the Skims CEO told her ex-husband North could not be featured on the song because her name is trademarked. “I asked you at the time if I can trademark her name. You said yes. When she’s 18, it goes to her. So stop,” Kardashian reportedly wrote, according to screenshots shared via TMZ.
“I sent paperwork over so she wouldn’t be in the Diddy song to protect her,” Kardashian reportedly added, referencing the disgraced music mogul who was arrested in September 2024 and indicted on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. (Diddy has denied the allegations against him.)
In a tirade shared via X on Saturday, West claimed that the “Kardashian mob” was responsible for his alleged loss of parenting rights.
“Yes I have beef with people that froze my account took my kids away and tried to put me in jail AND ITS STUCK,” West wrote.
“I DONT WANT TO JUST ‘SEE’ MY KIDS. I NEED TO RAISE THEM,” he added. “I NEED TO HAVE SAY SO OF WEAR THEY GO TO SCHOOL AND WHO THEIR FRIENDS ARE AND WHOS HOUSES THEY SLEEP OVER WEATHER MY DAUGHTERS WEAR LIPSTICK AND PERFUME ALL THESE RIGHTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM ME BY THE KARDASHIAN MOB HULU AND DISNEY AND THE BIGGER AGENDA TO USE THE SELECTIVELY BRED BLACK CHILDREN TO BE PLATFORMS TO INFLUENCE BLACK PEOPLE.”
