The cast of nudes is deliberately controversial, from Taylor Swift, who is referenced by misogynist lyrics in the song, to Bill Cosby, who West appeared to defend on Twitter earlier this year, to Rihanna, who is depicted laying next to her abuser Chris Brown.
West said that he took great care to avoid a sexual vibe, though whether he's successful there will depend on how much viewers will be able to suspend their knowledge of the overt sexual drama between the video's characters. Chris Brown has gone on Instagram to comment on the way he was positioned on the bed, with the duvet covering about half of his rear. "Why I gotta have the plumbers butt/crack showing WAX figured?" he asked, seemingly amused.
"This n*gga KANYE CRAZY, talented, but crazy," Brown then exclaimed, echoing what seems to be the general reaction to Ye's latest video.
Both George Bush and Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue, were quick to point out that they had no prior awareness of the video and that neither of them actually got into bed naked with Kanye. Kanye appeared to taunt Taylor Swift and Donald Trump on Twitter. Interesting.
