Ye's gearing up to drop his next album this month, and people within his camp say it's his most authentic project in years.

According to an alleged email from YEEZY's support team that was posted to social media on Saturday, January 3, Ye's forthcoming album BULLY will not feature any AI-generated vocals. Milo Yiannopoulos, Yeezy's former chief of staff, also chimed in and confirmed that Ye doesn't plan to use AI for his upcoming project.

“For those who need to hear it from a white man, No AI on Bully," Milo wrote on X.

The update is a complete 180 shift from the rapper-producer's original plan for his 12th studio album. During a discussion with internet personality Justin Laboy, Ye said that he aimed to fuse AI into his delayed project and revealed how he would do it. He explained that he would use the technology to morph someone else's vocals into his own.

"It's like the next version of sampling," he said during the interview. "Like when sampling happened, they hated it."

BULLY has been in the works for quite some time. After experiencing a series of delays, Ye recently announced that the album will arrive on January 30. The tracklist for the LP recently surfaced online and contains 13 tracks, including previously previewed songs like "Beauty and the Beast" and "Preacher Man." Mike Dean, who reportedly resolved his past issues with Ye, confirmed the tracklist and said he co-produced all the songs on the album.
