Aziz Ansari Pulled Out All the Stops to Make His Own Kanye West Music Video

Kanye West’s new album, The Life of Pablo, has been a chart-topper ever since it was released a few weeks ago. His song “Famous,” which most people know for its low-blow reference to Taylor Swift, has received mixed reactions, though. But Parks and Recreation star Aziz Ansari clearly loves the tune, so much so that he decided to make his own music video for “Famous” while on a recent trip to Italy.

 

Ansari and his Master of None costar, Eric Wareheim, traveled to Italy to prepare for the Netflix show’s second season. According to The Huffington Post, the two filmed their ode to “Famous” in between gorging on massive Italian meals. The hilarious parody shows the dynamic duo stuffing their faces with pasta and wine, strutting through the streets of Italy and showing off their DWTS-worthy moves. 

They even nicknamed themselves Lil Bud and Big Bud, obviously relishing in their newfound hip hop stardom.

What do you think, collegiettes—should Kanye use this as the official “Famous” music video?
