Kanye West knew he was gonna start quite a shitstorm with his the new "Famous" music video, which features a bed full of naked celebrities -- or figures that freakishly resemble certain celebs, many of whom Kanye has had a contentious history with.
A few of the people whose naked likenesses were used in the video have already responded, and they've mostly laughed at Kanye's audacious video stunt. Chris Brown asked Kanye why he had to give his wax figure a case of plumber's butt, and former President George W. Bush made sure to point out that his actual figure is in better condition than the lumpy, wrinkled one seen in the video. We'll take his word for it.
Unsurprisingly, it just was reported that Taylor Swift, who was the controversial inspiration for "Famous" in the first place, was "horrified" to see her nude figure next to Kanye's. Another person who didn't seem flattered to be in the bed with Kanye (and his wife) is Ray J.
Kim dated Ray J years before she met Kanye, and she didn't become a star until a sex tape of her and Ray's leaked to the web in 2007. There hasn't been a tape like it since. In the time since Kim's first Internet-breaking phenomenon, she has proceeded to become one of the world's biggest celebrities while Ray's status in the entertainment world has mostly fizzled. Still, Kanye made sure to position Ray right next to the massive rear of his former lover.
A member of the paparazzi recently caught up with Ray J and his manager in downtown LA. His manager goes by "Wack 100," who earned himself quite a reputation last year when he stepped in on behalf of another client, The Game, and knocked out Miami rapper Stitches in the middle of the street. Earlier this year, it was reported that Wack had, rather bizarrely, decided to manage Stitches, and though it's unclear how that partnership has worked out, Wack is an official member of Ray J's team, and he addressed the paparazzi on behalf of Ray when asked about the "Famous" video.
"Nah, I ain't talkin' 'bout all that," said Ray J when asked about his nude likeness. As Ray J scurried ahead, Wack addressed the cameraman to point out that Kanye's depiction of Kim next to Ray J isn't wholly realistic. "Ay, did they show him with his dick in his wife's mouth?" he asked rhetorically, painting a picture of what Kim and Ray J's last bedroom encounter must've looked like. "You can tell him Wack 100 said that."
The paps guy was a little slow to pick up on Wack's implication, so he clarified: "If they didn't show Ray J with his dick in Kim Kardashian's mouth, tell Kanye to go back and reshoot that shit." He went on to threaten Kanye by saying, "Tell that n*gga he a long way from Chicago. He better watch his motherfucking mouth."
