The casting call comes as Kanye West continues to work on his upcoming studio album, "Bully," which is dropping in June.

Kanye West says he's hosting an open casting call for volunteers to join a choir that will provide a similar sound to that of his song, "Carnival." In making the announcement on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday night, West included a ridiculous list of criteria, much of which was typically offensive. The post comes as West continues to prepare for the release of his next studio album, Bully.

"THE HOOLIGANS. Open casting call for volunteers," West wrote. "Ye is putting together a hooligan choir to give the sound of the Vultures number one song Carnival. All males. NO FAT PEOPLE. The skin complexion of Sean Combs and darker. With shaved heads OR must be willing to shave head if approved. MUST BE COMFORTABLE WEARING SWASTIKAS. We are accepting members from all over the globe but the base will be in Los Angeles." He concluded that the casting will be taking place from March 15-19th from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Los Angeles.

Kanye West's "Bully" Album

As for Kanye West's Bully, he'll be releasing the project as his eleventh studio album on June 15th in celebration of his daughter North's birthday. He previously revealed that the title from the project takes inspiration from his eldest son, Saint, during an appearance on Justin Laboy’s The Download podcast.

In addition to Bully, Kanye West also revealed that he wanted to team up with Playboi Carti for a collaborative album on Saturday night. "WE WERE WORKING ON PROJECT CALLED CARTI YE IM SORRY THAT THIS WONT HAPPEN NOW. From Carti’s actual twin. This was the album cover. I teased it the other day," West wrote. He added that the project falling through wasn't Carti's fault. He wrote: "Carti ain’t do nothing wrong This how the Jewish industry mob practice coercion to get all my family to not work with me. They made Ty write the words HATE SPEECH. And it’s the same thing they did with Trav."
