Kanye West has released an official video for “Famous”, taken from his seventh studio album The Life of Pablo.
The eyebrow-raising, extremely NSFW video features an orgy of nude celebrities lying next to Kanye in bed – the likenesses of Kim K, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Amber Rose, Taylor Swift, Caitlyn Jenner, Anna Wintour, Donald Trump, George Bush and more all appear.
The video was inspired by Vincent Desiderio’s painting Sleep. Its credits give special thanks to the celebrities pictured “for being famous”. Speaking to Vanity Fair, Kanye also referenced avant-garde artist and filmmaker Matthew Barney as an inspiration.
Chris Brown responded to the video on Instagram, revealing that the models are waxwork figures and writing, “This nigga KANYE CRAZY, talented, but crazy”.
Kanye debuted the video last night, at an event at the LA Forum which saw the rapper joined by the likes of Rick Rubin, Travis Scott, Tyga, Kylie Jenner, Kris Jenner and more. Punters paid $25 a pop to see it.
Watch the video via Tidal.
