"Famous" is a song by American rapper Kanye West, produced and co-written by fellow American hip hop artist/producer Havoc. It serves as the lead single from his seventh studio album The Life of Pablo (2016). The song features vocals from Barbadian singer Rihanna and ad-libs from American hip hop artist Swizz Beatz, and enlists samples of Jamaican singer Sister Nancy's song "Bam Bam" and "Do What You Gotta Do" by American singer Nina Simone. The single was serviced to US urban and rhythmic contemporary radio stations on March 28, 2016, and was confirmed for release three days before. It was sent to Italian contemporary hit radio stations on April 15 by Universal. Upon its release, "Famous" was met with both critical acclaim and scrutiny for a controversial lyrical reference to American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, partially in relation to West's interruption of her 2009 VMA acceptance speech. After West claimed to have obtained Swift's approval over the criticized lyric, Swift denied the claim, criticizing West and denouncing the lyric as "misogynistic" in a statement. Several months later, West's wife Kim Kardashian released a three-minute video capturing parts of a conversation between Swift and West in which Swift appears to approve a portion of the lyric. In 2020, a 25-minute uncut version of the video surfaced, establishing that West did not appear to tell Swift about the specific line ("I made that bitch famous") which she had objected to. In June 2016, West released a music video for "Famous" depicting wax figures of Kanye West, Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, George W. Bush, Donald Trump, Anna Wintour, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Ray J, Amber Rose, Caitlyn Jenner and Bill Cosby all sleeping nude in a shared bed. It was released to a polarized response. The wax figures used in the video were later exhibited as a sculpture. The song was nominated for Best Rap/Sung Performance and Best Rap Song at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards. (en)

《出名》（英語："Famous"）是美国音乐人坎耶·韦斯特第七张录音室专辑《》的首支单曲，由女歌手蕾哈娜和嘻哈艺人客串演唱，还录用了牙买加歌手和美国歌手妮娜·西蒙的小样。2016年4月1日，歌曲于美国和播放。 一经发行，歌曲中的歌詞便因提及到美國創作歌手泰勒·斯威夫特、部分牵涉韦斯特打断她在2009年MTV音乐录影带大奖获奖感言事件的争议歌词引发舆论广泛讨论。事后，韦斯特声称斯威夫特曾同意将争议歌词写入歌曲，但斯威夫特否认这一说法，并批评韦斯特，谴责歌词“攻击女性”。数月后，韦斯特的妻子金·卡戴珊发布一段抓拍到斯威夫特与韦斯特之间对话的3分鐘剪輯過的视频，其中斯威夫特「似乎」同意了歌词。2020年，一個25分鐘未剪輯的完整影片被釋出，影片證實了韦斯特確實沒有向斯威夫特提及她反對的歌詞（"I made that bitch famous"）。。 2016年6月，韦斯特发布的歌曲音乐录影带刻画了他本人、斯威夫特、卡戴珊、美國前總統唐纳德·特朗普、美国前总统乔治·W·布什、蕾哈娜、喜剧演员比尔·寇司比等名人，而韦斯特本人则与他们同床裸睡。视频发行后面临着明显两极分化的评价。 (zh)
