There are a lot of Kanye West rumors floating around these days, but not all of them have to do with his public controversies and alleged misconduct. Rather, many Ye fans out there expressed excitement over a new report from hip-hop journalist Touré, who offered some alleged insight into the Chicago artist's situation these days. Per Touré, he's living at a Tokyo hotel and working hard on his next album Bully, which will reportedly be a conceptual solo album that he's recording at the hotel and not at a studio. However, the most important alleged detail is that the Yeezy mogul plans to self-produce the entire thing by himself, and it's apparently unclear whether or not he will bring on guest vocalists.
"This album is 100% him," an alleged source reportedly told Touré about Kanye West's Bully, which seems like he will make completely on his own. "He's producing everything 100% himself. This will be 100% Kanye West, which it hasn't been in many, many years." Of course, Ye is not always alone in Tokyo as he lives his "upper-class homeless" life, as Touré described it. Maybe folks will step in to help with mixing and mastering or other album details. But it looks like when it comes down to the actual music on display, the "SLIDE" artist will carry all the weight for now.
Elsewhere, Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori recently disproved divorce rumors with a Tokyo shopping trip. That's been another hot topic when it comes to his travels and goings-on as of late. But more salacious and disturbing allegations emerge when Ye's sexual harassment accuser alleged that he told her about wanting to sleep with Censori's mom. For more details on that, click the first internal link in the article (excluding Ye's name) up in the first paragraph.
Meanwhile, this follows previous claims from Adam22 that Kanye West quit nitrous to focus on his new music. At the end of the day, we won't believe Bully or any of its alleged details until we see the album for ourselves. But we can't deny that a self-directed Ye album amid a more healed and less chaotic time could yield some compelling results.

Donald Glover has announced that he’s canceled the rest of his dates on The New World Tour. Glover issued a statement on Friday (Oct. 4) explaining why an “ailment” has forced him to can the North American and European trek.
“After my show in New Orleans, I went to the hospital in Houston to make sure of an ailment that had become apparent,” he began. “After being assessed, it became clear i would not perform that night, and after more tests, i could not perform the rest of the US tour in the time asked.”
The Grammy Award-winning artist previously planned on postponing the North American dates when telling fans to hold onto their tickets, but with surgery needed and an extended recovery time, that would not be possible.
“As of now I have surgery scheduled and need time out to heal. My path to recovery is something I need to confront seriously. With that said, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of the North American tour and the UK and European dates,” he continued.
Fans who purchased tickets will be able to receive a refund at the point of purchase. There’s no timetable on when Glover will be healthy enough to hit the road again.
“Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase,” the multi-hyphenate concluded. “I want nothing more than to bring this show to the fans and perform. Until then, thanks for love, privacy, and support.”
Childish Gambino was originally slated to wrap up his North American leg on Oct. 3 before heading across the pond on Halloween. Shows were scheduled for Norway, France, Belgium, Ireland and the U.K. throughout the rest of 2024.
The Atlanta creator released his final album under the Childish Gambino moniker, Bando Stone and the New World, in August. The LP debuted at No. 16 on the Billboard 200 and featured assists from Jorja Smith, Flo Milli, Khruangbin and more.
