UPDATE: Kanye West has uploaded his "Famous" video to YouTube, and all the shots of the nude celebrity look-alike figures remain uncensored. It doesn't seem like Ye has been met with any legal action yet, though a few of the celebs whose likenesses lie in the "Famous" bed won't be pleased to see the video move to a public platform.

Kanye West debuted the official video for his The Life Of Pablo single, "Famous," last night at a packed venue in L.A., and in true Kanye fashion, it has everyone talking. The clip is based on a work by American realist painter Vincent Desiderio called "Sleep," replacing the many naked bodies lying side by side in bed with recognizable celebrities (represented as wax-like figures). The lineup consists of George Bush, Anna Wintour, Donald Trump, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Taylor Swift, Ray J, Amber Rose, Caitlyn Jenner and Bill Cosby -- with Kanye and Kim Kardashian in the middle of it all. The video is obviously inspiring many-a-hot take, and should be a conversation piece throughout next week. Watch the full visual above and let us know what you think of Ye's latest experiment.
