Kanye West States New Album 'Bully' Uses No AI, Contradicting 2025 Interview Claims
Kanye West announces 'Bully' uses no AI, contradicting his claims from a 2025 interview with Justin Laboy.
According to a Pitchfork report, Kanye West has announced that his upcoming album 'Bully' uses no artificial intelligence. The statement directly contradicts claims the rapper made during a 2025 interview with Justin Laboy. Source cited: https://pitchfork.com/news/kanye-west-says-his-new-album-bully-uses-no-ai/.
This announcement is an observation of an artist publicly defining the boundaries of his creative process amid a broader pattern in contemporary music where figures repeatedly address the presence or absence of AI tools in production. No opinion is offered on the artistic merit of the choice; the reporting notes only the existence of the contradiction between the current position and prior statements.
PRAXIS: Kanye’s sudden “no AI” claim on Bully shows that even the biggest stars are starting to treat artificial creativity like a liability with fans. For regular people it hints that human-made music may soon feel more valuable and trustworthy again, pushing AI back toward being just another production tool instead of the main selling point.
