Kanye West made waves in Tokyo this week, giving fans a sneak peek at his upcoming music while also sharing some personal thoughts in his lyrics.
The rap star, who was joined by Justin LaBoy and Jim Jones, previewed several new tracks, including some that revealed a mix of bold statements and playful content.
One of the most talked-about snippets featured Kanye rapping about his wife, Kim Kardashian, and mentioning threesomes.
On a remix to Future’s “Lil Demon,” Kanye drops the provocative line, “Come f*** my wife with me, they love to see me shining!” The explicit lyrics quickly caught attention, sparking conversation among fans and critics alike.
In another snippet, Kanye seemingly voiced support for his longtime friend and fellow mogul, Diddy.
Over the beat of Future and Metro Boomin’s “Magic Don Juan,” Kanye raps, “Might just pull up to the Met Gala in some Sean John,” nodding to Diddy’s iconic clothing line, Sean John.
This line has sparked buzz as it hints at Kanye’s intention to pay homage to Diddy at one of fashion’s most prestigious events.

The previews of these tracks are likely part of Kanye’s forthcoming solo album BULLY, which he has been hard at work on for the last few months.
Kanye has promised that the album will feature beats created by him personally.
Earlier this month, he posted on Instagram with his daughter, North, expressing how her love for music reignited his own passion for creating beats. Kanye even shared a clip of North making her own beat on an ASR-10 keyboard, calling it “training” for her future in music.
Alongside the music snippets, Kanye has also paid tribute to hip-hop legends like Master P, whom he referred to as his “hero,” and shared his admiration for classic tracks by Scarface and Souls of Mischief.
While BULLY does not yet have a confirmed release date, Kanye has been steadily teasing more content from the album, including its striking black-and-white cover art featuring a close-up of his son, Saint.
