Eric Wareheim and Aziz Ansari's Video for Kanye West's "Famous" is the Official Music Video

UPDATE: Vulture confirmed with Kanye’s publicist that while Kanye and his team love the spoof video, it is not the official music video, as was previously reported.


Last week, Eric Wareheim of comedy duo Tim & Eric uploaded his and Aziz Ansari’s ridiculous “Famous” video to YouTube, announcing that their goofy visuals for the Kanye West song had become the official music video. A representative has come through and confirmed this, which explains how the video has managed to stay up on YouTube without getting taken down for copyright reasons.

Kanye still hasn’t given an official comment on the video on his Twitter or anything, but it’s nice to know he liked it enough to make it the first official video from The Life of Pablo. Curiously, Kanye has yet to release a video for a track from the album himself yet, but that could down to the fact he’s already working on the follow-up to the album, Turbo Grafx 16.
