The
rapper hosted a viewing event in Los Angeles on Friday night to
premiere the song, the first visual from The Life of Pablo, that
features those cutting Taylor Swift lyrics.
The NSFW video
features lookalikes of Bill Cosby, Caitlyn Jenner, Amber Rose, Ray J,
Kim Kardashian, Chris Brown, Rihanna, Donald Trump, Anna Wintour, George
Bush and of course Taylor.
Inspired by American painter Vincent Desiderio, it also features
a lot of naked flesh as they all lay in one enormous bed together.
Speaking previously about the video, which will be available to watch
exclusively on Tidal for a week, he shared: “It’s not in support or
anti any of [the people in the video].
“It’s a comment on fame," he added to Vanity Fair.
"We were very careful with shots that had [something] sexual to take them out."

Kanye’s fans were quick to jump on social media to share what they thought of it.
The reaction ranged from people calling him a genius to disbelief and disgust.
"This is one of the most Kanye things ever. He out Ye'-d himself," one fan wrote.
"Did anyone else watch the visual to Famous? Kanye really had everyone laying naked in bed next to one another," said another.
While others were left scratching their heads.
"I am sooooo confused by this Famous video premiere. What the hell did I just watch."
"Holy f**k what is this video nothing will ever be the same."
