Ye drops album 'Bully' in limited release after antisemitism apology

Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, dropped his latest studio album, "Bully," on Friday, March 27.

The project marks his 12th studio album and his first solo release since "Donda 2" in 2022. Released through the independent label Gamma, "Bully" represents a return to form for the controversial rapper, who has fallen from grace in recent years over his espousing of antisemitic and racist beliefs. He has also been accused of sexual misconduct by former employees.

Ahead of the album's release, Ye took out a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal to apologize for his past remarks. Featuring cameos from Travis Scott and Nine Vicious, "Bully," which is out on YouTube, has yet to be released on major music streaming platforms.

Born Kanye Omari West, Ye transformed himself from a college dropout in Chicago to an undisputable icon of music and fashion. But a string of controversies has the rapper facing a fallout. In October 2022, several companies, including Adidas and Balenciaga fashion house, cut ties with the star after he made antisemitic remarks.Look back on Ye's life and career, from his marriage and divorce from Kim Kardashian to his polarizing political statements. Here, Ye and Bianca Censori attend the 67th Grammy Awards on Feb. 2, 2025, in Los Angeles.

Bully tracklist

In the days leading up to the release, Ye shared a handwritten tracklist on social media and said the album would contain no AI–generated vocals, addressing speculation tied to earlier versions of the project. Several songs on "Bully" had appeared previously in unfinished or alternate forms before the final release.

See the full tracklist:

Sisters and Brothers

Whatever Works

Father

All the Love

I Can't Wait

Bully

Mama's Favorite

Punch Drunk

This a Must

Outside

Preacherman

White Lines

Circles

This One Here

King

Beauty and the Beast

Damn

Last Breath

Highs and Lows

Mission Control

Bully listening party

Listen to the album here.

On first listen, "Bully" sounds not too different from the project that propelled him to fame, sampling gospel songs, blending his quick rhymes over a heavy bass beat and telling a come-up story. For loyal fans, the album may present a welcome reprieve from years of erratic behavior and hate-filled music, but for his detractors, it may be difficult to scrub the phantom image of his former self from the tracks.

Netflix subscribers will have to pay more to watch their favorite TV shows and movies after the streaming platform raised its prices.

The price hike, implemented this week, raises the cost of the standard plan with ads by $1 a month and the cost of the standard and premium plans by $2 a month, according to pricing posted on its website. Netflix raised its prices by similar amounts in January 2025, when it was expanding into live programming. The last price jump before that came in October 2023.

Netflix did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The subscription fees are now in effect for new members, while existing members will be notified in the coming weeks, according to CBS News New York.

Netflix has recently expanded its live offerings, debuting Major League Baseball this year. The company has also moved to integrate more video episodes of podcasts onto its platform, such as Barstool Sports and several iHeartMedia shows.

The streaming platform's revenue jumped nearly 16% from 2024 to 2025, according to data from market analytics provider S&P Capital IQ. The California-based company's stock rose 1.13% before the opening bell on Friday.

Miley Cyrus appeared in an all-black leather outfit at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards last night.

The star received the Innovator Award at the ceremony.

Cyrus is fresh off her red carpet appearance for the Hannah Montana: 20th Anniversary Special.

Hot off the release of the Hannah Montana: 20th Anniversary Special, Miley Cyrus stepped out for the iHeartRadio Music Awards Thursday night. She skipped the Disney nostalgia for the event and opted for a more minimalist look instead, wearing a long black leather jacket with coordinating pants. She accessorized with pointed heels and simple rings.

Cyrus received the Innovator Award at last night's ceremony, a career honor that recognized her continuing contributions to music and culture. As Billboard noted, past recipients have included Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and Beyoncé.

Earlier this week, Cyrus paid homage to her Disney Channel character at the premiere of Hannah Montana's 20th anniversary special, wearing a Hannah Montana T-shirt with a crystal Rabanne gown.

She recently spoke in her Variety cover story about revisiting her Hannah Montana days, saying, "A lot of artists feel like to become the next version of themselves, they have to leave something behind. But I'd rather be more like a gorgeous patchwork blanket. I'd rather take every little piece of all the things that I've been and create a mosaic of exactly who I am now—not trashing any of that past but allowing it to come with me."

She also discussed how open she was to performing the Super Bowl halftime show, a feat that past Innovator Award honorees Beyoncé and Lady Gaga have accomplished.

"I always think the Super Bowl feels like too much pressure," she admitted. "I would have to do the mental work of making it not about the Super Bowl, because then you can't help but go, 'It's millions of people, and it's the most-watched thing in the world.'"

But she is open to it under the right circumstances, she admitted: "But if I could find a way to make it exactly what the Hannahversary was—taking a journey through the discography and appreciating each song, each era for what it is—I think I could find it in myself."

The restaurant's iconic caricatures and Broadway legacy will be preserved during updates to its infrastructure and dining room

After nearly a century as a cornerstone of New York City's theater district, Sardi's is preparing to dim the lights — for now.

The famed restaurant and industry watering hole, known for its walls lined with caricatures of Broadway legends, will close for several months this summer as part of a transition in ownership and renovations, according to a report from The New York Times.

Max Klimavicius, who has worked at Sardi's for more than five decades and has solely owned the business for 33 years, is stepping away and selling the restaurant's name, assets and its collection of more than 1,000 caricatures to the The Shubert Organization, which owns the building and operates multiple Broadway theaters.

Klimavicius, 71, will continue running the restaurant through June 24 before it closes for updates to its infrastructure. The space is expected to reopen later this year, with its signature look — including its famous artwork — preserved.

"For me, this wasn't about the money," Klimavicius said. "It was about the continuity of this legacy, so important to me. This has been my life."

Founded in 1927, Sardi's has long served as a gathering place for Broadway's biggest names — a "message center, a lovers' rendezvous, a production office, a casting center and even a psychiatrist's couch," as Vincent Sardi Jr. once described it in his memoir. "We serve food, too."

The caricatures that cover its walls — inspired by Joe Zelli's Restaurant in Paris, and easily Sardi's most recognizable feature —began as a simple exchange.

In the establishment's early days, founder Vincent Sardi Sr. invited artist Alex Gard to draw caricatures of theater regulars in return for free meals. The two struck a deal: Sardi wouldn't criticize the drawings, and Gard wouldn't criticize the food.

The tradition stuck. Over the decades, a succession of artists (first Tom Mackey, then Don Bevan and now Richard Baratz) has added to the collection, which now includes some 1,200 portraits spanning all four floors — from legends like Laurence Olivier, Lucille Ball, Yul Brynner and Sammy Davis Jr to modern stars like Lin-Manuel Miranda, Cynthia Erivo, Sara Bareillis and George Clooney.

Not every subject has been thrilled. Milton Berle reportedly bristled at how his nose was depicted, while actress Maureen Stapleton once stole her portrait and burned it — only to later return and have a new one hung years later.

Today, approximately 20 new portraits are added each year, the caricatures unveiled at a champagne reception attended by friends of the honoree.

The restaurant's deep ties to the theater world run even further: the Tony Awards were first conceived there, cementing its place in Broadway history.

Robert E. Wankel, chairman and CEO of the Shubert Organization, confirmed to The Times that the restaurant will retain its iconic identity, even as upgrades are made.

"The restaurant has always been important to us," he said. "I consider it as much a part of the theater district as our theaters, and we want to make sure it stays in business."

While the dining room will be refurbished and systems like lighting, ventilation and plumbing , Wankel noted there are no plans to significantly alter its look. "Obviously, we're going to have a new restaurateur, so the menu might change a little bit," he added.

Still, the transition brings uncertainty for staff. Klimavicius said the restaurant's 74 employees will likely need to reapply for their jobs once it reopens.

"There's some nervousness about what's going to happen, but it's probably the best-case scenario," longtime bartender Jeremy Wagner said. "I'm seeing it as an opportunity."

Klimavicius, who began working at Sardi's in 1974 after arriving in New York from Colombia, said he is choosing to step away at a high point for the restaurant, especially after it was featured prominently in the 2025 film Blue Moon, which earned Ethan Hawke an Oscar nomination.

"We have never had so much media coverage," he said. "I'm so happy to leave while I'm on top, feeling like Sardi's is back."
