Kanye West premiered a shocking new video on Friday night for fans in Los Angeles. The video for “Famous,” his latest single off of “The Life of Pablo,” features 12 nude celebrities in bed together.
The celebrities include West, himself, and wife Kim Kardashian lying in bed nude with Donald Trump, Taylor Swift George Bush, Bill Cosby and Caitlyn Jenner, among others.

It’s unclear which of the celebrities, if any, actually appeared nude in the video or whether it was all visual effects. It’s also unknown if West got permission from any of the celebs to use their likeness.
Trump’s camp denied the GOP candidate’s involvement in the shoot.
Tidal live-streamed the unveiling of the “Famous” video at the Forum in L.A.
