Kanye West has announced that his upcoming album, Bully, will be arriving on a special day. In a post-Grammys interview with Justin LaBoy, he has announced that he plans to release the album on his daughter North West‘s 12th birthday.

“That’s when we’re gonna bring Bully out ’cause that’s her favorite album,” he said.

The announcement comes just days after Ye revealed North helped rekindle his love for music, ultimately leading to the creation of the album.

“This little girl made me love music again,” he previously wrote alongside a photo of them in the studio. “She asked me to make beats for her. I got back on the ASR Chopped up beats for album and chopped every beat with my bare hand for BULLY.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Ye agreed with LaBoy’s statement that in the Drake/Kendrick Lamar beef, “Kendrick killed Drake, he’s dead.” Still, he said that fans shouldn’t sleep on Drake.

“You can’t ever count out Steph Curry. That man might get 200 points in one song or something. You know what it was is, like, look at the Tyler, the Creator freestyle that he did. ‘That Guy,’ right? Drake added something to the algorithm, to our frequency. He advanced us. Future advanced us. And now, Kendrick has advanced the frequency,” he said. “It’s like when Twista came out. There was rappers that didn’t learn but then JAY-Z learned that you could do it. If you don’t really learn as just a professional rapper, as a sport, what Kendrick is doing, you might be wiped. You might be wiped out.”
