Within hours of Kim Kardashian getting her legal emancipation from Kanye West in a Los Angeles court, the hip-hop titan responded – by posting a music video in which an animatronic figure that is assumed to represent West ties up and kidnaps Pete Davidson and buries him from the neck down.

The video for the song Eazy, his collaboration with the Game, was posted on West's Instagram account, not long after news was published that Kardashian had been granted the legal separation and bifurcation arrangement she had been seeking in the process of their divorce.
