Kanye West<\/a> has shared a music video for \u2018Father\u2019, which features Travis Scott<\/a> and is directed by his wife Bianca Censori.<\/p>\n

Ye premiered his 12th studio album with a YouTube livestream on Friday (March 27) and later made it\u00a0available to listen to on most major streaming platforms<\/a>, including Spotify and Apple Music.<\/p>\n

Alongside the album, the rapper has shared the music video for \u2018Father\u2019, the track that features a verse from Scott.<\/p>\n

Directed by Censori with a single camera setting, the video takes place in an earth-toned church setting, populated by aliens, knights, and a Michael Jackson<\/a> lookalike sitting in the background.<\/p>\n

Ye sits up front while the scene unfolds around him, with a series of bizarre events taking place. Over the course of the video, police arrest a nun, a pageant queen is carried down the aisle, and someone does tricks with cards that burst into flames.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Since the album\u2019s release, Ye\u2019s collaborator James Blake<\/a> has asked to be taken off the producer credits, saying the final result is \u201cnot what I created\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Announcing the\u00a0tracklist\u00a0earlier this week,\u00a0Ye said there was no AI used in its creation<\/a>, contradicting what he had said last year when he claimed that he had incorporated the technology into his writing process in \u201cthe same way I incorporated Auto-Tune\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u2018BULLY\u2019 was first announced by West two years ago<\/a>, and has seen a number of expected release dates come and go. Last June, he previewed it with the singles \u2018Preacher Man\u2019,\u00a0\u2018Beauty\u00a0And\u00a0The\u00a0Beast\u2019,\u00a0\u2018Damn\u2019 and \u2018Last Breath\u2019.<\/p>\n

Ye has also\u00a0announced an album launch show in Los Angeles, set for April 3,<\/a>\u00a0and confirmed more European dates for this year, marking his first headline dates on the continent in 12 years. He\u00a0is\u00a0yet to announce any UK shows for this year.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Ye shared\u00a0numerous highly controversial posts in early 2025<\/a>, when he\u00a0took back an apology to the Jewish community for his previous anti-semitic remarks<\/a>, and declared himself \u201ca Nazi\u201d.\u00a0He later\u00a0said on X\/Twitter that, \u201cafter further reflection\u201d, he\u2019d \u201ccome to the realisation that I\u2019m not a Nazi\u201d<\/a>. But this was followed\u00a0only a few days later by yet more swastika apparel appearing on his X page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last November,\u00a0West held a meeting with a rabbi and apologised for his anti-Semitic comments<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then, in January, Ye claimed that\u00a0his recent apology for his past anti-Semitic comments\u00a0<\/a>was\u00a0not about his forthcoming new album or an attempt to \u201crevive\u201d his career<\/a>. He also shared details of\u00a0his bipolar type-1 diagnosis<\/a>, which\u00a0he\u2019d dismissed early last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kanye West has shared a music video for \u2018Father\u2019, which features Travis Scott and is directed by his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":502928,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[96,677,128,678,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-502927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-hip-hop","tag-music","tag-rap","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/502927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=502927"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/502927\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/502928"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=502927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=502927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=502927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
