BULLY listening parties

Numerous listening parties, or events, were held for Ye's upcoming 2025 album, BULLY.

Ye had previously held listening parties for JESUS IS KING (2019), Donda (2021), Donda 2 (2022), and VULTURES (2024) (with Ty Dolla $ign).

On August 30, 2024, Ye announced that he would be holding a listening party in China. Noticeably, the announcement only included the Yen symbol to represent Ye (in ¥$), which was different from all other listening party announcements in the VULTURES era, which also included a dollar sign for Ty Dolla $ign, raising suspicion that the LP was for Ye's solo album, BULLY. This was never confirmed true, but very likely was. However, this listening party had been rebranded as a VULTURES listening party, suddenly with Ty Dolla $ign. This event was hosted on on September 28, a while after the initial announcement. However, two BULLY songs were played, being:

• "PREACHER MAN"
• "BEAUTY AND THE BEAST"

Private listening party #1

The first listening party Ye hosted for his album BULLY. As well as the second one, little is known about this one. However, we know it was done on October 26, 2024, and various pictures from the event were posted. Based on the pictures displayed, it was done at the GARDEN新木場FACTORY in Koto, Tokyo, Japan. It's almost certain that the whole album was played during this event.

Private listening party #2

The second listening party Ye hosted for his album BULLY. Extremely little is known about the party besides one snippet that was leaked*, being a version of the song titled "BULLY". It seems the party took place in some sort of bar due to the environment shown in the video, and alcoholic beverages being shown. It likely happened in January of 2025.

Notes

• "*" in the second sentence indicates that it was possibly leaked by Ye himself as the account's name mirrors something Ye has used before. As well, allegedly, according to a Yeezy employee, the leaked snippet was posted by Ye's team on purpose for the album's promotion.

One (1) Oak nightclub, Tokyo

On January 28, 2025, Ye, Jim Jones and Justin LaBoy were photographed at the 1 Oak nightclub, Tokyo, Japan. One day later, Ye went on to perform there. He previewed many new songs intended for BULLY. These songs are:

• "DARK MATTER"
• "LIL DEMON (Remix)"
• "Magic Don Juan (Remix)"

All these titles are unconfirmed, though heavily speculated. None of these songs will likely be featured on BULLY. However, it is still plausible that "DARK MATTER" appears due to the astonishing amount of positive fan feedback.

The 2025 Grammys after-party is the most popular of the BULLY listening parties. On February 2, 2025, after the 67th Grammy ceremony, where Bianca Censori infamously wore a very revealing outfit, Ye hosted an after-party with guest appearances from celebrities: Ty Dolla $ign, Jim Jones, The Game, Will.i.am, Justin LaBoy, and John Monopoly. He previewed many new songs, new versions of songs, and unreleased songs, including:

• "PREACHER MAN"
• Ty Dolla $ign- "Wheels Fall Off" (with Ye)
• "CAN'T HURRY LOVE"
• "CIRCLES"
• "LAST BREATH"
• North West- "I'm Ready"
• Ty Dolla $ign- "DON'T KILL THE PARTY" (featuring Ye)
• North West- "Sam Cooke Sample" (?)

VULTURES 3 was also mentioned, and Ye also spoke on certain topics.

BIANCA premiere

On February 23, 2025, the BIANCA art film was shown, which features direction from Vanessa Beecroft. At the premiere of it in the Koreatown warehouse, LA, Ye previewed three songs intended for BULLY.

• "LOSING YOUR MIND"
• "LAST BREATH"
• "RED-EYE" (SEXY BOY)

"LOSING YOUR MIND" and "RED-EYE" were played for the very first time here. Ye was seen backstage and allegedly he played some tracks there, though unconfirmed.
