Kanye West has recruited two people close to girlfriend Kim Kardashian for a video that’s meant to promote his new album Yeezus, due out June 18.
During an otherwise busy weekend, West shot the video with Kourtney Kardashian’s longtime boyfriend, Scott Disick, and Kim’s best friend, Jonathan Cheban, in New York.
“Kanye is definitely on edge and nervous about how this album will sell,” a source told In Touch. “He won't promote it the normal way, and he wants to create buzz with all these weird, secret demonstrations.”
In addition to celebrating his 36th birthday in New York City and performing at the Governor’s Ball, he shot the video in Brooklyn with Disick and Cheban this past weekend.
“Kanye spent the weekend shooting an American Psycho-inspired video in Brooklyn with Scott Disick and Jonathan Cheban,” said the insider. “Jonathan actually gets killed in the end.”
The video will reportedly get released sometime this week, with the source adding “Kanye wants the video to go viral and drum up more publicity for his album.”
