Kanye Exorcises Demons in Short Jonze Film

Clip, briefly on rapper's site, includes projectile vomiting, cutting himself open

Share

(Newser) – A glimpse into the inner workings of Kanye West, or just fantasy? We're sure getting a look at something in a new short film directed by Spike Jonze (of Where The Wild Things Are) and starring West, who—after an(other) obnoxious club outing—projectile vomits pink flower petals in a bathroom, then slices himself open and confronts a small furry creature that emerges from his innards. We Were Once A Fairytale was pulled from West’s official site after a brief appearance but can still be viewed elsewhere online (see below—or a brief clip at left).

A portion of Spike Jonze's new short film staring Kanye West, "We Were Once a Fairytale." Sadly, it cuts off before getting to the really weird stuff.   (amilcarguevaratorija)
