The Grammy Awards winner Kanye West released his new track WW3 on March 26, 2025, and since then, the song has garnered attention from netizens. WW3 is the lead single from Kanye's eleventh studio album, Bully.

The reason the track has turned heads is because it has a provocative theme and lyrics. On April 1, 2025, Ye took to his X (formerly Twitter) handle and posted what seems to be a music video with the caption "WW3." While his caption is of his newly released track, the video he posted has caused a buzz online.

Netizens have found it disturbing and offensive. Here is what one of them had to say:

''Banger song, music video idk 💀😭😭," @YeFandom said.

Internet reacts to Kanye West allegedly drops WW3's music video

Just a few days after WW3's release, Kanye West has gained traction online. The song addresses various topics, such as Kanye's political views, personal experiences, and controversial references.

In the recent post on X, where he allegedly dropped the music video, netizens have expressed their thoughts on the same. Some of them found the video to be weird and offensive. Here is what they had to say:

''This isn't art or whatever you think this is. It's just very weird and bizarre. I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish with this post," @RealJonJenkins said.
''what is this kanye????'' @TheMarescaEra added.
''I dont understand how @x still allows you to be here," @Ai420a12 remarked.
''we good off your music," @Wmmanuel1600 commented.
''Most disgusting thing I’ve seen in my life," @minus_aaron criticized.

These were some of the comments netizens left on Kanye West's post. The song's release has sparked debate among fans, music lovers, and critics about separating the art of creating music from Ye's personal beliefs, especially because of his recent controversies.

The theme of WW3, originally titled World War 3, is dark and heavy. It explores his personal turmoil and societal issues in a very direct, unfiltered, and raw manner. The soundscape of the song is also such that it complements the chaotic theme.

WW3 is a track of his album Bully, a visual concept album announced in September 2024. The album also featured a short film which was directed by Hype Williams, who also directed the music video for Kanye's track Heartless.

The short video featured Ye's son Saint, who was shown to be in a choreographed battle with Japanese wrestlers in the video.

The song has been criticized for its explicit content and problematic message by some people, while others have appreciated Kanye West for his bold message and unapologetic approach.
