Ye's Comeback: Stormy Career & BULLY Success

0:00It's April 7th. Welcome to Music News today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Y-A-Y just wrapped two massive nights at SoFire Stadium in Los Angeles last week, pulling in $33 million with guests like Lauren Hill, Travis Scott, and Don Tolliver. It was his big return to the U.S. stage, right after dropping his 12th studio album, Bully, which hit number two on the Billboard 200. The album kept building steam, landing his 14 top 10 spot on April 5th with 152,000 equivalent units, even missing A, full tracking day. He surprised fans by releasing it early on March 28th, complete with a video for Father featuring Travis Scott. Promotors even booked him to headline the wireless festival in the UK this July. Fans still flock to his shows and streams, chasing that old spark amid his wild ups and downs. But his past comments on slavery, ties to Trump and anti-Semitic rants in 2022, left deep marks, especially after a 2025.

1:01Track called Hyal Hitler. Apologies, like one in the Wall Street Journal, haven't fully erased the caution from brands and communities. Things split fast for wireless. Pepsi pulled sponsorship first, then rockstar energy, PayPal, and Diagio followed. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the booking deeply concerning, and the home office blocked YAY's entry, forcing the whole festival to cancel. His production stays elite, and Bully racked up nearly 100 million streams day one, proving his pool. Yet without steady actions behind the words, gay keepers might keep their distance, leaving his comebacks as just bright flashes in a stormy career.
