"Kanye knew not to try and mess with Beyoncé and Jay-Z by putting their naked wax figures in the Famous video"
Most of Kanye West's moves are carefully crafted to elicit a reaction — and a reaction he got this weekend, when he unveiled the provocative video for The Life Of Pablo's Famous at a special Tidal event in LA.
Already in the spotlight for its controversial lyrics about Taylor Swift (about whom West said they "might still have sex, I made that bitch famous"), Famous's official video features a slew of hyper-famous celebrity wax figures/prosthetics lying in bed, naked. You'll see West and wife Kim Kardashian, along with both their exes Ray J and Amber Rose, Donald Trump, Caitlyn Jenner, Taylor Swift, West's friend and Vogue editor Anna Wintour and even Bill Cosby.
Already keen for some more drama surrounding Famous's release, West has already tweeted that he's waiting for some lawsuits. Here's what others are saying on Twitter.
If you ask us? West should've just stuck with comedians Aziz Ansari and Eric Wareheim's goofy fan video.
