Video: Kanye appears as headless corpse in dark music video directed by wife
This story has significance for readers across Kenya and beyond.
- Kanye West featured in a bizarre music video for his song OK, in which he is portrayed as a headless corpse lying on a morgue table
- Bianca Censori directed the unsettling visual, marking her second music video collaboration with her husband in 2026
- The disturbing scenes show medical personnel pulling strange objects from the rapper's body before attempting to reattach his severed head
Kanye West has never been one to shy away from controversy, but his latest music video may be his most unsettling visual yet.
The rapper, who goes by Ye, features in the video for his new track OK, a collaboration with Don Toliver.
Rather than a conventional performance clip, the visual takes a deeply strange turn, depicting Kanye as a headless corpse stretched out on a morgue examination table while surrounded by medical personnel.
What happens in the OK music video
The video's scenes grow increasingly surreal as the story unfolds. The medical team shown in the clip proceeds to examine Kanye's body before pulling a series of strange objects from inside his torso.
The sequence escalates further when the doctors attempt to reattach his severed head, creating an eerie sense of resurrection that viewers are unlikely to forget in a hurry.
The imagery is deliberately provocative, placing Kanye at the centre of what can only be described as a grotesque medical drama.
It is a sharp departure from conventional music video formats, and entirely consistent with the unconventional aesthetic Ye has built his visual identity around over the years.
Bianca Censori steps behind the camera again
The video was directed by Bianca Censori, Kanye's wife, continuing a creative partnership that has been developing throughout 2026.
Censori previously directed the video for Father, Kanye's collaboration with Travis Scott, which was released earlier this year.
Her directorial work has leaned heavily into surreal and unconventional imagery, and the OK video represents arguably the boldest example of that aesthetic to date.
The couple's artistic collaboration appears to be deepening, with Censori increasingly shaping the visual language of Kanye's music projects.

The dark, clinical concept behind the video also fits neatly into Kanye's broader history of using provocative imagery to challenge audience expectations.
Whether the intention is symbolic or purely to spark conversation, the video is certain to keep Ye firmly in the cultural spotlight.
