Kanye West has always had an offbeat and kind of juvenile sense of humor — just check out the video for “
Famous” — but in his new video for “
Eazy,” that humor takes a sharp left turn into the world of the macabre. Filmed in grainy black and white stop-motion animation, the “Eazy” video finds Kanye sending
The Game and
Eazy-E after his imagined romantic rival Pete Davidson — whose ass, remember, he threatens to beat in the lyrics of the song — to kidnap and bury the comedian up to his neck, turning him into an unorthodox planter.
Kanye’s been borderline hyperfocused on Davidson ever since the
SNL member
took up with West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian. While Pete’s
dating history has been the subject of
much amusement online, Kanye hasn’t found it all that funny (he rarely does when he thinks he’s the butt of the joke — the
South Park fish sticks gag wasn’t far off the mark). Instead, he’s taken to
calling the comedian “Skete” and repeatedly railed against him, writing that he
doesn’t want Davidson around his kids and gloating that he had the comedian
chased off Instagram.
The timing of Kanye sharing the video is uncanny; earlier today, a judge
granted Kardashian single status, effectively ending the couple’s near-seven-year marriage. While Kanye has said that
he wants to reconcile — the “Eazy” video even ends with a tongue-in-cheek declaration of his belief that they’ll live happily ever after once Davidson is out of the picture — Kardashian has adamantly and repeatedly said that she
has no desire to do so. Something tells me that this video won’t help Kanye’s case much.
