Perhaps perplexed by the lack of backlash following the premiere of his “Famous” music video, Kanye West tweeted, “Can somebody sue me already #I’llwait,” on Saturday according to People. Likely advised by his legal team, he later took the tweet down.

His video depicts naked wax figures of George W. Bush, Anna Wintour, Donald Trump, Rihanna, Chis Brown, Taylor Swift, West himself (naturally), Kim Kardashian West, Ray J, Amber Rose, Caitlyn Jenner and Bill Cosby in bed.
