Kanye West’s New Album Features Saint West in Epic Surprise Short Film
Let’s dive into the delightful chaos that is Kanye West’s latest album rollout, where family takes center stage in the most unexpected fashion. On March 19, Kanye dropped his surprise album “Bully,” alongside a 45-minute short film starring none other than his 9-year-old son, Saint West. In a twist that only the West family could orchestrate, the film showcases young Saint heroically battling masked wrestlers with a toy mallet—an audacious display of childhood imagination set against the backdrop of his father’s new tracks. And just like that, Saint emerges victorious, standing tall in the wrestling ring, a pint-sized champion amidst the chaos of Kanye’s artistic universe.
This whimsical film isn’t just for show; it embodies the essence of the album’s title, which Kanye attributes to a memorable exchange with Saint. The rapper recounted how his son, after a playground incident, casually declared that he kicked another child “because he weak.” This anecdote led to a philosophical musing on bullying, clearly elevating the project from mere entertainment to a bizarre commentary on childhood behavior. It’s as if Kanye, forever the provocateur, is using his family as a lens through which to explore deeper societal themes—albeit in a rather unconventional way.
This isn’t the first time Kanye has involved his children in his creative pursuits. Earlier this year, he collaborated with North West on his “Vultures” album, showing that family ties are not just a personal affair but a public spectacle in the West household. However, the drama doesn’t stop at familial collaborations. In the lead-up to “Bully,” Kanye stirred the pot with Kim Kardashian over a text message debate regarding their daughter North’s name trademarking, which he claimed was an effort to protect her from a collaboration with Sean “Diddy” Combs. Their exchanges, which included threats of public fallout, paint a picture of the ongoing tension between their personal and public lives.
As always, Kanye’s antics are a spectacle, leaving fans both entertained and bewildered. It’s a reminder that in the world of celebrity, the line between art and life is not just blurred—it’s practically non-existent. The West family continues to serve up a delicious blend of creativity and controversy, and honestly, who could ask for more?
