Kanye West premiered his Famous video at the LA Forum on Friday night, which was a digital recreation of Vincent Desiderio's Sleep painting from 2008. Kanye's was recreated using faux celebrities. The “Famous" video depicts lifelike versions of George W. Bush, Donald Trump, Anna Wintour, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Taylor Swift, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian West, Ray J, Amber Rose, Caitlyn Jenner and Bill Cosby. For an NSFW side by side comparison, click here. Of the video, West had this to say, as reprinted by The Hollywood Reporter: “It’s not in support or anti any of [the people in the video]. It’s a comment on fame. Maybe in some alternative universe me and George Bush could have been friends. I could have been his O.J. Simpson black friend on the golf course.” Watch part of the NSFW video below.
