Here are all the famous people in Kanye West’s “Famous” music video
He came, he saw, and he freed the nipple. Kanye West’s video for “Famous” is out and he didn’t disappoint as he lay naked in bed with some of his famous pals.
The rapper teamed up with Tidal again to premiere the video at the Forum in Los Angeles. The event was streamed to subscribers worldwide. His previous successful live stream was The life of Pablo Listening Party at Madison Square Garden, where over 200 million people tuned in to the sold-out event. After some celebrity sightings like 2 Chainz, Rick Rubin and the return of Tyga and Kylie Jenner, it was time for Kanye to push the “Ye” button and shock the world.
In the video, Kanye is actually lying in bed with some notorious celebrities like …
Caitlyn Jenner
Anna Wintour
Bill Cosby
Taylor Swift
Rihanna, who sings the chorus sampled by Nina Simone,
Robert J
Kim Kardashian West
Donald Trump
Chris Brown
George Bush
and Amber Rose.
Vincent Desiderio’s portrait “Sleep” was the inspiration behind the last frame in the video. He also thanked his infamous friends for “starring” in the video. It’s very likely that these were just wax sculptures of Kanye and his wife, who appeared to be breathing. “I want to thank all of you and my wife for supporting ideas and truth,” Kanye said before playing the video a second time.
You may be wondering what the meaning behind the video is? The image creates the impression that celebrities are worshipped from a pedestal of our own making. There is a reason why the rapper chose these celebrities in particular. Many are more fascinated by their reputation than their talent. So much so that lies and truth become interchangeable and they are twisted by fame.
Whatever it is, it is definitely on everyone’s lips.
