The latest music video from Kanye West’s Donda journey has been released. He’s shared a video for his previously leaked André 3000 collaboration “Life of the Party,” which can be found on Donda (Deluxe). The new video features deepfake performances from photographs of West’s youth and is released in connection with the rapper’s Yeezy Gap line, which was designed by Balenciaga; sections of Ye’s film were also included in a TV ad for the launch. André 3000’s verse is not included in the video. Look it up below.
After Kendrick Lamar’s comeback, “The Heart Part 5,” “Life of the Party” is the second major deepfake video to showcase Kanye’s face tonight.
Last year, West debuted “Life of the Party” during his Donda listening event in Las Vegas. Drake delivered a studio-quality clip of the tune in a guest mix for SiriusXM’s Sound 42 not long after. “I put Virgil and Drake on the same text, and it wasn’t about the matching Arc’teryx or Kid Cudi dress,” West says in the song, referring to Drake. “Just told these grown men to stop with the funny shit,” he says. Later in the song, West makes a reference to the pair’s canceled collaboration plans: “Thought we was the new Abu Dhabi/Told Drake don’t play with me on GD and he sent that message to everybody/So if I hit you with a ‘WYD,’ you better hit me with, ‘Yessir, I’m writing everything you need.’”
