Kanye West is making headlines again—this time for his son Saint’s mischievous behavior. The rapper recently appeared on The Download podcast with Justin LaBoy, where he teased his upcoming album Bully and revealed the unexpected inspiration behind it.
According to West, the album was influenced by a real-life incident involving his nine-year-old son, Saint, whom he shares with ex-wife Kim Kardashian. He recounted a moment when Saint was playing with another kid and suddenly kicked him. When West asked why, Saint simply replied, “Cause he weak.”
Realizing his son might have a bit of a bully streak, Kanye admitted, “Definitely young Ye.” He also revealed that Saint has a habit of kicking and pushing people, suggesting the kid inherited some of his father’s more aggressive tendencies.
Saint’s behavior has stirred controversy before. In September 2023, paparazzi caught Kardashian scolding him after he flashed his middle finger at photographers outside a restaurant. Just a month later, he repeated the gesture while out with friends, prompting his mom to immediately shut it down.
Kardashian and West, who were married from 2014 to 2022, also share three other children—North, Chicago, and Psalm. Since their split, Kim has been open about raising their kids largely on her own, while Kanye has embraced a more nomadic lifestyle with his new wife, Bianca Censori.
Speaking of Kanye and Bianca, the couple made waves at the Grammys red carpet recently—though not for music. Censori’s outfit (or lack thereof) once again sparked controversy, continuing her streak of eyebrow-raising fashion choices.
