Kanye West, the rapper now known as Ye, has fans around the world talking after he shared the full song list for his upcoming album BULLY on social media. The post, made on March 25, 2026, included a handwritten list of tracks and a clear message that the project contains “NO AI.”
This statement comes after months of rumors and speculation about the album’s release. Ye has been teasing BULLY since 2024, and fans have been waiting through several delays. The latest update suggests the album is finally scheduled to arrive on March 27, 2026, marking his first solo studio album since Donda in 2021.
What the ‘NO AI’ Promise Means for Ye’s New Music
The “NO AI” declaration is significant because Kanye previously talked about using artificial intelligence in his music-making process. In a 2025 interview, he mentioned using AI tools in the same way he used Auto-Tune, calling it “a tool” for songwriting. He even showed how he was experimenting with AI programs to adjust vocals.
Now, with the new album, Ye is making it clear that BULLY will not contain any AI-generated vocals or production. This shift comes after early physical copies of the album, which some fans received on vinyl, reportedly contained AI-generated vocals on tracks like “PREACHER MAN.” Those early versions disappointed some listeners, leading to complaints on social media.
By announcing “NO AI,” Ye is directly addressing those concerns. He is promising that the final streaming version of BULLY will sound different from the vinyl leaks. Fans are now waiting to hear whether he actually re-recorded parts of the album to remove any AI elements.
Full BULLY Tracklist Revealed
The handwritten tracklist shared by Kanye West on X (formerly Twitter) shows 18 songs. Here is the complete list as posted by the rapper:
- Sisters and Brothers
- Whatever Works
- Father
- All the Love
- I Can’t Wait
- Bully
- Mama’s Favorite
- Punch Drunk
- This a Must
- Outside
- Preacher Man
- White Lines
- Circles
- This One Here
- King
- Beauty and the Beast
- Damn
- Last Breath
Several of these tracks, including “Preacher Man” and “Beauty and the Beast,” have already been heard in previews or live performances. There are also rumors that Travis Scott appears on “Father,” though no official guest features have been confirmed yet.
Fan Reactions to the Tracklist and ‘NO AI’ Statement
The news of the tracklist and the “NO AI” promise quickly spread across social media, with fans sharing their excitement. One fan posted on X, saying:
“In an era full of AI noise, going no AI isn’t just a statement, it’s a challenge to everyone else.”
Another fan expressed relief, writing:
“Ye saying ‘NO AI’ for Bully is the best news in 5 years. We finally gettin the old Ye back. The graduation vibes are coming…”
Some listeners pointed out the irony of the situation, noting that physical copies sold earlier had AI elements. One user commented:
“bro apparently sold his fans ai riddled physical copies of the album then announces the streaming version will be longer with no ai”
Despite the confusion, many fans remain excited for the album. Another supporter summed up the feeling of many long-time listeners:
“only artist who can pump fake an album 50 times and i’ll still be hyped for it”
