Ye has released a new song titled “GEMINI SEASON” along with an accompanying music video.
The clip, which marks another directorial project for Bianci Censori, features her dressed in all white while seated on a bar stool against an artificial background of mountains and moving clouds. In the video, she milks a cow into a glass jar before Ye, also dressed in white, pours the milk into her mouth, with some spilling down her chest.
“I wanna get kinky/ I think she’ll let me/ I think she’s pretty/ I think she’s ready,” he half-sings.
“GEMINI SEASON” arrived amid Gemini season and on Ye’s birthday Monday. To celebrate the occasion, Bianca — who previously directed Bully cut “Father” featuring Travis Scott — posted a message on her Instagram Story that read, “Happy birthday @ye I love you more than life.”
While “GEMINI SEASON” was not included on the track list for Bully, it is likely to appear on the album’s deluxe, which is scheduled to release on June 19.
Ye also has a lot of shows coming up. His next performance is in Tbilisi, Georgia, on Friday.

Cardi B attended the New York Knicks game Monday night not only as a spectator but also as a performer.
She took to the court at Madison Square Garden during halftime, performing “Bodega Baddie” from Am I the Drama? and her breakout hit “Bodak Yellow” from her debut album, Invasion of Privacy. She was joined by dancers dressed in Knicks jersey dresses.
Following her performance, Cardi sat courtside with 4-year-old son Wave, though she was not impressed with her seats.
“They got me right next to the opps! But I’mma be nice, ’cause I know this is a lot for them,” she joked on her Instagram Story.
While Cardi’s performance didn’t air during the game’s TV broadcast, it was available via the premium NBA League Pass broadcast.

The night ended with the Knicks losing to the San Antonio Spurs, 111-115.
