The initial variant of Kanye West’s “Famous” song is rousing up more controversy than the edited variant on The Life of Pablo.
Titled “Nina Chop,” the alleged pre-Pablo cut off “Famous” was seens on SoundCloud and its lyrics insinuated that Kanye West’s ex-lover Amber Rose and Taylor Swift “owe” him sex. Kanye rapped on the track, “For all my Chi-town ni**as that know me best/I feel like Amber Rose still owe me sex/Why? I made that bitch famous/Not really, but somewhat famous.”
Although the original version was cut off from SoundCloud, Complex stated that it highlighted verses from Young Thug and that of Rihanna is not heard at all. Swizz Beatz is scarcely on the track either.
On the golden side, TMZ reveals that West’s Yeezy Season 4 launch broke the brand’s own record after sales on his apparel surged 35% higher in comparison to the same period for Season 3. West’s Yeezy Boost sneakers also sold out in four minutes. The tabloid reports that Vogue and other fashion publications have contacted his brand over the past few weeks to ask permission to display his collection.
