So that video that was leaked via Universal Music’s stage site for ‘Ye’s Black Skinhead yesterday is not a final product. The irate artist took to twitter to blast those responsible for the leak, and confirm that a finalised version is in the works. It’s also worth noting that Nick Knight appears to be the man behind the amorphous CGI and spooky-ass imagery, so if you’re part of the vocal majority that are hating on the visuals at least there’s a name to direct your anger toward.
The BLKKK SKKKN HD video that leaked yesterday was not the official version.

Me and Nick Knight have been working on this video for 5 months and for creatives it’s heartbreaking when something like this happens.

The final version will be ready within the next week. — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) July 9, 2013
So any website that may have the unapproved / unfinished ruff. I ask you to please take it down. — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) July 9, 2013
Allow me and Nick to give the world what we’ve been losing sleep over.
