Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has hinted at a major return to music in 2025 with a new solo album titled Bully. His activity on Instagram this week, including posts with WRLDFMS Tony Williams and producer Mike Dean, has fueled anticipation among fans.
The photos shared by Ye appear to reference his iconic Yeezy Season 3 fashion show at Madison Square Garden in 2016, which doubled as a listening party for The Life of Pablo. Williams, Ye’s cousin, has been a collaborator since The College Dropout. Dean, who worked with Ye through 2021’s Donda, appears to have reconciled with the rapper after a reported fallout in 2022.
In early 2025, Ye celebrated his wife Bianca Censori’s 30th birthday in the Maldives, where he performed classic hits. Beyond Bully, Ye also released a trailer for his AI-assisted film Vultures The Movie on January 10, though a release date has not been announced.
This year marks a busy start for the 24-time Grammy winner as fans eagerly await his next creative ventures.
