Kanye West mocked over 'terrible' AI-generated music video featuring daughters North and Chicago

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kanye West’s latest music video for his song 'Bomb' has stirred up a storm of criticism, with fans labeling it “terrible” and questioning the decision to feature his children, North and Chicago West, in the bizarre visuals.

The video, which accompanies the song from his album 'Vultures 2', includes a post-apocalyptic desert setting where the two daughters, aged 11 and 6, are seen driving Mad Max-style vehicles while being pursued by cartoonish monsters. The video was shared by Kim Kardashian on Instagram, drawing immediate backlash from fans.

AI-generated monsters and surreal visuals in 'Bomb' music video spark fan discomfort 

The video features North and Chicago navigating chaotic scenes where they are chased by comical, AI-generated monsters, some resembling stop-motion animation figures and others looking like actors in costumes.

The villains' vehicles also undergo strange transformations, adding to the surreal feel of the video. However, what many fans found most unsettling was the use of AI-generated visuals for the scenes involving the two girls.

Their faces appeared overly smooth, shifting at different angles, leading viewers to suspect that the images were artificially created. In one scene, when North slightly turns her head, a sign appears with a nonsensical alphabet, a telltale sign of AI-generated content.

The vehicles they drive, starting as melted Tesla-like cybertrucks and later morphing into odd tank-like designs, further fueled suspicions about the video’s artificial nature. Many comments pointed out the bizarre, nightmarish quality of the video, with one Instagram user commenting that the video felt like "the kind of weird music when you wake up in the middle of the night and forgot to turn off the TV."

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian face backlash for featuring daughters in 'Bomb' music video

The release of the video sparked a wave of harsh criticism on social media, with many fans lambasting both Kanye and Kim Kardashian for putting their daughters in the video.

One comment read, "Just because you have money doesn't mean your kids have any talent," though it wasn’t clear if the criticism referred to North and Chicago’s rapping or acting skills.

Another fan quipped that the video was “the Kardashian equivalent of putting your kid’s artwork on the fridge,” while one user added, "The nepo baby equivalent to kids performing in their living rooms."

Others focused on the strange visuals, calling it a disturbing viewing experience. "I felt Chicago when she said, ‘I like to go to the beach, I like the sun,’" one sarcastic fan commented, reflecting the absurdity of the lyrics. The video also featured both girls recording short rap verses for the song, with North’s verse mostly in rudimentary Japanese, while Chicago raps about her love for fun and the beach.

Despite being credited with the song, Kanye West does not appear in the music video. His absence led fans to criticize his choice of featuring his daughters in such a bizarre project.

While one user wrote, "I love yall but this song is terrible," another Instagram user joked, “Kim said ‘Let’s all get to work.’” Kanye's decision to use AI-generated visuals instead of practical effects or high-quality digital animation was also a point of contention, with some speculating that it may have been a cost-saving measure. Fans argued that the quality of the video seemed rushed and unpolished.

Kanye's absence and Kim’s 'single parent' struggles highlighted amid music video release

Interestingly, Kanye had previously been absent from the public eye regarding his children, and Kim Kardashian had expressed feeling like a "single parent" while raising their four kids.

Kim recently revealed that it had been nearly 60 days since Kanye had been pictured with any of his children. During this time, Kanye has been spending much of his time in Japan with his wife, Bianca Censori, who has been rarely seen without him.

Kim’s promotional post of the video and her comments about feeling like a “single parent” have brought attention to Kanye's distant relationship with his children. While Kim continues to raise the kids and manage the household, Kanye has been more focused on his music and public appearances.

Recently, he has been the subject of a lawsuit from his former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, who accused him of sexual assault. Kanye has denied the claims, calling them "baseless." Additionally, Kanye faces a separate federal lawsuit over accusations of assault from former America’s 'Next Top Model' contestant Jenn An.

Despite the negative response to the music video, Kanye’s daughters were connected to the 'Vultures 2' album through short rap verses they recorded for it. North’s verse was mostly in Japanese, while Chicago rapped about enjoying simple pleasures like going to the beach.
