Kanye West unveils Famous video that features a lot of other celebs

LOS ANGELES — Kanye West has unveiled a video on a subject he knows something about: Fame. And while you get to see a lot of West in the video, you also get to see a lot of other equally famous people.

The video for a single titled Famous, unveiled at a promotional event in the Los Angeles Forum, features what appears to be a naked West with images of 11 other celebrities, some of whom he has had good and bad relationships with, Vanity Fair magazine reported.

The celebrities, who appear to be naked in a huge bed with West, include his wife, Kim Kardashian West; former President George W Bush; presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump; Vogue editor Anna Wintour; singers Rihanna, Chris Brown and Taylor Swift; producer Ray J; former girlfriend Amber Rose; transgender activist Caitlyn Jenner; and comedian Bill Cosby.

West included an image of Bush, who he famously criticised on national TV right after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

“Maybe in some alternative universe me and George Bush could have been friends. I could have been his OJ Simpson black friend on the golf course,” West told the magazine in a phone interview.

As for including Cosby, who West once tweeted was innocent of sexual abuse allegations, the rapper said: “It’s not in support or anti any of (the people in the video.) It’s a comment on fame.”

What people will no doubt ask is: Are those really naked celebrities in the video or some lookalikes? Well, West isn’t revealing that much. “We were very careful with shots that had (something) sexual to take them out,” he said. AGENCIES
