Friday night at The Forum in LA, Kanye West debuted the video for his single “Famous”. It wasn’t just NSFW, it was also a little creepy. Especially with the heavy breathing at the end. What is this? A music video or home movies from Charles Manson?
Borrowing from Vincent Desiderio’s “Sleep” painting, the video features the naked wax bodies of George Bush, Anna Wintour, Donald Trump, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Taylor Swift, Ray J, Amber Rose, Caitlyn Jenner and Bill Cosby lined up in a bed with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian in the middle.
If you’ve always wondered what a few famous people look like naked but didn’t have the imagination, here you go.
The project took Kanye 3 months to make, cycling through four different formats and several different collaborators until Kanye deemed it worthy of release. Seems like a long time to just put a bunch of naked wax people in a bed but I guess genius doesn’t come easy.
It’s already got a few responses from the featured celebs. A rep for George Bush, we’ll call him Mr. Obvious, says that’s not him. Meanwhile, Chris Brown asked why he had to have a plumber’s crack.
Kanye is ready for blowback and tweeted the equivalent of “Come at me, bro!” He wrote in a deleted tweet, “Can somebody sue me already #I’llwait”.
–Caitlyn “The Man”Jenner next to Bill Cosby, yeah, that works… they both friend and done weird shxt
