Kanye West’s ‘Father’ Video Stars Fake Michael Jackson, Features Travis Scott

Kanye West has released a new video for the song “Father” from his album Bully. The clip places him in a church setting before a surreal turn where he appears lifeless, is unmasked, and taken away.

Michael Jackson Impersonator Appears

The video includes Fabio Jackson, a well-known Michael Jackson impersonator. Viewers quickly noticed his resemblance to the late pop star.

Kanye has referenced Michael Jackson across his career. He name-checked Jackson on tracks like “Slow Jamz” and appears in cultural nods on songs such as “Knock You Down” by Keri Hilson and “All Of The Lights.”

Public Response

Social media users reacted with humor and surprise. Comments linked the impersonator moment to Kanye’s long admiration of Michael Jackson.

Search interest around the clip included terms like fake Michael Jackson and even queries mentioning Travis Scott. Filmogaz.com monitored the conversation as it unfolded online.

Context: Apology and Return

The video arrives amid Kanye’s effort to rebuild his public image. He previously published a lengthy letter in the Wall Street Journal addressing past controversies.

In that letter, he acknowledged losing touch with reality and expressed regret for offensive remarks. He described pursuing treatment, medication, therapy, exercise, and cleaner living as a new regimen.

Focus on Art and Forgiveness

Kanye said he plans to focus on creative work in music, clothing, and design. He asked to earn forgiveness over time rather than expect immediate absolution.

With Bully now available on streaming platforms, he appears to be following through on that renewed artistic focus.
