“Bomb” – A Shocking Release
The music video for “Bomb” quickly garnered attention not only for the appearance of the famous daughters but also for the strange and perplexing imagery in the video. The video opens with North West driving an armored car through a Mad Max-style desert, kicking up dust behind her. She is then shown being chased by a bizarre creature wearing sunglasses and riding a motorcycle. The video goes on to feature more such creatures chasing the group of performers, which includes Kanye and his daughters.
North and Chicago both sing in the song, with North even performing a verse in Japanese. Kanye West makes several appearances throughout the video, repeatedly chanting the word “bomb,” creating a tense and surreal atmosphere.

Mixed Reactions from Fans
While some fans thought it was sweet to see Kanye collaborating with his daughters, many were disappointed by the song and music video. Some felt that Kanye West had tarnished his legacy and lost touch with the musical style he had once built.
Many comments on YouTube expressed confusion and dissatisfaction with the video. One fan wrote: “The brain cells I lost watching this will not be missed.” Another fan agreed, adding, “I understand that the track is bad, but let’s give Ye credit for choosing his kids over everything else, including us fans.”

On Twitter (now X), rap fans echoed similar complaints, particularly about Kanye’s use of AI in the video. “Honestly sad to see a legend tarnish his legacy like this,” one fan said. “Sorry, but this is terrible,” another added.
Kanye West and AI Technology in the Video
One of the biggest criticisms from fans was Kanye’s use of AI to create visuals in the music video. Some fans found it unacceptable that Kanye used AI models to depict his own children in the video. “He really used AI for the video, and it looks terrible! I’m done,” one fan tweeted. Another posted a facepalm emoji and wrote, “This dude is using AI models for his own kids.”
Kanye’s Love for Family
Despite the backlash, some fans defended Kanye, understanding that he was likely trying to create something special for his daughters. “I completely understand this song and its vision. I’m not a dad, but I can see Ye being so happy that he had the chance to do this for his kids. Yes, it’s unlistenable, but for them? As a family? It’s wholesome,” one fan commented.
Many also pointed out that Kanye’s musical and personal transformation could be attributed to his new relationship with Bianca Censori. Kanye and Bianca secretly married in January 2023. The duo has become well-known for their public appearances, which are often wild and controversial.
The Future of Kanye West and His Daughters
With the release of the “Bomb” music video, many wonder if Kanye West is changing too much and whether his daughters will continue to be involved in music projects in the future. North and Chicago’s continued involvement in the arts may mark a new chapter, but it will likely continue to spark mixed reactions from the public.
Despite the criticism, Kanye remains one of the most influential figures in the music industry. Whether he will continue creating controversial music or return to the style that made him famous remains to be seen. Only time will tell.
