The music video for Kanye West‘s single Black Skinhead has been posted online but Yeezy ain’t happy, with the biggest rapper in the world saying the video was a rough, unfinished version and taking to Twitter to abuse whoever leaked the clip.
Ye made the video with director Nick Knight, the man behind Björk‘s controversial 2001 video for Pagan Poetry and Lady Gaga‘s epic Born This Way. The leaked version of Black Skinhead is a spectacular monochrome affair, with the same snapping dog imagery we’ve seen in much of the Yeezus promo, along with a zombified dancing West.
But K.Widdles has urged any websites that have posted the clip to take it down, saying, “Me and Nick Knight have been working on this video for 5 months and for creatives it’s heartbreaking when something like this happens.” You can check out his torrent of hurt and upset below.
Our collective creative hearts are breaking for you, Kanye. Really. But we still want to watch the clip.

So any website that may have the unapproved / unfinished ruff. I ask you to please take it down.
