We’ve all witnessed at least some portion of Kanye West’s video for “Famous” by now, even if you didn’t want to. The video has nakedness all through it, somewhat fake nakedness, but still people are going to take notice at some point. And that’s exactly what West wants people to do, notice him and praise him for the genius that is his statement on fame and celebrity in today’s society. He also wants to be sued, apparently.
In a now deleted tweet, Kanye goes ahead and says what most people were thinking:
Not sure why anybody would sue over their own naked wax figure, but it’d be funny if it actually happened. They might have some actual leeway in a legal capacity since West does list them by name in the video, noting that it is their likeness and they are naked. You would think there is some sort of legal option for people there.
No matter, there’s plenty of room to make fun and that’s all that matters on the internet.

I would like to imagine the phone call from Cosby going something like the one from Eddie Murphy’s Raw. The only difference is Richard Pryor is sadly dead, so it’s probably up to Hannibal Buress to take that spot and tell more truth about the Cos. Him or Kevin Hart.
