Just when fans thought the epic return of Ye aka Kanye West would be on the coattails of the highly anticipated three-part ‘Vultures’ series, the Atlanta rapper put another record on the speed dial even before the final volume could arrive, thanks to ‘Bully.’ Although the rapper’s transition period from ‘Vultures’ to ‘Bully’ has been marred by all kinds of tensions with speculations of AI use, the anticipation for the record has been skyrocketing. To keep fans even more hyped, the rapper has already started his pre-release antics with his signature listening parties, joined by Bianca Censori. 

Guess who got the first sneak peek? It was none other than Tokyo.

According to a recent report from The Sun, Ye and Bianca Censori curated a private listening showcase for ‘Bully’ in Tokyo, Japan, where the lovebirds posed for sizzling new photos to turn up the temperature. Despite the eyebrow-raising divorce rumors, the pair has kept up a united front, and these photos may have silenced any remaining skeptics for good. In the photographs, Censori was spotted in a tiny black leather top, flexing a bare torso, stomach, and back, paired with a voluminous, demure, floor-length, chic cream skirt. 

Meanwhile, the ‘Bully’ creator was busy channeling his trademark self, standing right behind her in an all-black ensemble, complete with baggy denim, leather jacket, and black shoes. In one of the pictures, the architect strikes a pose, crouching down to her knees while Ye stands at the back and keeps a hand on her shoulder. In yet another, the rapper stares down the camera while Censori shows off her bare backside. Moreover, they reportedly pulled out at a dinner stop in Tokyo later with DJ Steve Aoki.

The photos were nothing short of breathtaking, but they dropped right after the teasers for a ‘Bully’ cover, leaving fans in for a double celebration.

Ye likes to put the best foot forward in his art; one thing that he always nails with his releases is the cover art. Hence, it is only natural that the upcoming ‘Bully’ follows a similar route since the one recently revealed does not convince otherwise. The official cover, released a day ago, shows a close-up of a set of teeth grills which Daily Mail believes has drawn inspiration from Ye’s $850,000 titanium teeth. 

In recent months, the dental accessory has become a signature style statement for Ye, and this, used for his album art, reinforces the idea that the album will carry his originality. Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama allegedly shot the cover photo. Fans might have thought the album's inspiration was coming from elsewhere, but little did they know that his true muse had always been himself.
