Kanye West: sue me already

Los Angeles - Kanye West has challenged those featured in his Famous video to ''sue me already''.

The 39-year-old rapper unveiled his controversial music video in Los Angeles on Friday, featuring him and his wife Kim Kardashian West in bed surrounded by a host of naked lookalikes of stars including Ray J, Amber Rose, Caitlyn Jenner, Bill Cosby, George W. Bush, Donald Trump, Anna Wintour, Rihanna and Chris Brown.

And a defiant Kanye took to Twitter the next day, writing: ''Can somebody sue me already #I'llwait (sic).''

So far Chris Brown, 27, is the only star to respond to their likeness being used in the video.
He posted a screenshot and wrote: ''Why I gotta have the plumbers butt/ crack showing WAX figure? KANYE CRAZY, talented, but crazy (sic).''

And it has been claimed that Taylor is horrified that Kanye has included a naked doppelganger of her.

A source told HollywoodLife: ''Taylor is livid and horrified. She didn't know what to do when she heard about what Kanye did. She is bewildered, feels betrayed and is beyond frustrated with Kanye. It is like a complete nightmare.''

The song also features the line: ''I feel like me and Taylor Swift might still have sex, I made that bitch famous,'' which Taylor, 26, has previously blasted.

Speaking about the video, Kanye told Vanity Fair: ''It's not in support or anti any of [the people in the video]. It's a comment on fame.''

And he insisted his wife has no problem with his controversial lyrics.
He said: ''[I say] a lot of lines other wives would not allow a husband to say. But my wife also puts up photos that other husbands wouldn't let them put up. One of the keys to happiness in our marriage is we're allowed to be ourselves.''

Kanye also claimed a number of his famous friends are upset that they don't appear in the controversial video - which features ex-partners of both him and Kim.

He said: "Guess what the response is when I show it to [my friends]? They want to be in the bed."
