The upcoming Kanye West and Lady Gaga tour, Fame Kills, looks to be getting weirder and weirder by the day. First there was the stage, an all gold geometric nightmare, then the VMAs (need I mention?) and now: the NSFW promo video.
Released earlier today via Kanye’s blog, in an all-caps post titled: “WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE ROCK STARS? THE FAME KILLED THEM”, is a new promotional video for the Fame Kills tour. Which in-of-itself is a little weird. But then there’s the actual content of the video.
In it is what appears to be Lady Gaga, or a convincing body double, nude, lying down and with her hand over her breast. Scan right and you’ll then see a black hand (Kanye?) underneath her back and pulling on her. After awhile the shot ends as an autotuned voice (sounding like Kanye) says “Fame Kills.” And that’s that. A one-shot 31-second video of weird BSDM-type shit. Oh yeah, and then there’s the eerie backing track, composed of distant-sounding train horns and noises. Pretty weird.
I don’t know guys, I’m starting to think this tour will be worth making it to after all.

Yeah, Lady Gaga is totally into BSDM. You see her recent photos for a Japanese magazine? BSDM. You get to see her tits too. So it's not too surprising she's letting them out too. As to whether or not that's Kanye? Well ... I'd say likely.

lame and not moving at all.... just some side-boob and the sound of someone breathing too close to the mic with background city noise....

I think you guys are seeing stuff that isn't there. He (whoever) is carrying her, like she's injured or something. I see no BSDM at all.

@Edsel... Obviously no knowledge of BSDM... just a bunch of kids cared by heavy breathing into a crappy video cam... puhleeaze
