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.
