Leaked Kanye West video for 'Black Skinhead' is “not the official version”

The supposed video for Kanye West’s ‘Black Skinhead’ that surfaced online earlier this week is not the real version, the rapper himself has revealed.

West took to Twitter late last night to vent his frustration at what he calls “unfinished ruff” being leaked online. The video saw an computer-generated Kanye performing to a backdrop similar to that he had on SNL. He continues to say it wasn’t “the official version” but that is on its way after he’s spent 5 months working on it.

Despite previously shunning radio, the Yeezus track looks to be released as a standalone single shortly, with an official video accompaniment coming later this week.

Here’s what Kanye had to say about the whole affair:

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. — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) July 9, 2013

The final version will be ready within the next week. — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) July 9, 2013

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.
