At the end of the video, West offers “special thanks” to Bill Cosby, Caitlyn Jenner, Amber Rose, Ray J, Kim Kardashian West, Taylor Swift, Chris Brown, Rihanna, Donald Trump, Anna Wintour, and George Bush “for being famous.” However, it’s unclear which of these people actually participated in the video. A representative for former [President](http://time.com/4048824/kanye-west-running-for-president/?iid=sr-link5) Bush confirmed that Bush did not participate in the “Famous,” [_Entertainment Weekly_](http://www.ew.com/article/2016/06/24/kanye-west-famous-tidal-music-video?1)reports. West has [previously feuded](http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1922188%5F1922187,00.html?iid=sr-link6) with some of the celebrities featured in the video, including Bush, Taylor Swift and Amber Rose. He also features Swift in the song: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b—- famous.” The song drew controversy after it debuted, with Kanye and Swift clashing over whether Swift had approved the lyrics. The “Famous” video will be available for Tidal subscribers only for a week, and non-subscribers can see a 30-second preview. See it [here](https://famous.tidal.com).
