Kanye West is furious with whoever leaked the unfinished video for his Yeezus single “Black Skinhead,” taking to Twitter to ask whoever did it to take it down.
It was leaked on Monday but West says it won’t be ready until next week. He called it “heartbreaking” that the video was put out before he had the chance to finish it.
He started off tweeting:
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.

He continued, “The final version will be ready within the next week,” and “So any website that may have the unapproved / unfinished ruff. I ask you to please take it down. Allow me and Nick to give the world what we've been losing sleep over.”
But he had one final message to the person responsible for putting it out on the internet earlier than they wanted.
And to who ever leaked the video… FUK YOU!

Billboard reports “Black Skinhead” is the first single off of West’s latest album Yeezus. It hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in its first week.
The video was leaked through a Universal Music staging website and was not posted to West’s official website or any sites affiliated with the rapper, so it was expected from the beginning that the leak was unauthorized.
