Kanye West has once again baffled fans with his social media antics. This time, the 47-year-old rapper took to Instagram Stories to share a throwback video of Pamela Anderson that left many scratching their heads. The clip, dating back to 2008, shows the iconic “Baywatch” actress presenting Playboy founder Hugh Hefner with a birthday cake for his 82nd celebration.
In the footage, Anderson, then 40, is seen dressed in nothing but a pair of high heels as she carries the cake to Hefner. The late Playboy mogul, who passed away in 2017 at the age of 91, is shown smiling warmly as Anderson twirls beside him and plants a kiss on his cheek.
Adding to the intrigue, West paired the risqué clip with audio repeating the phrase, “Hide your bitch.” Unsurprisingly, the post left fans divided and confused. One user on X (formerly Twitter) commented, “I don’t think Pamela Anderson is going to like what Kanye did…” Another chimed in, “Did Pamela Anderson even approve Kanye sharing that video, or…?” A third voiced their frustration, saying, “Why did Kanye West post that video of Pamela Anderson? Defending this man is getting harder by the day.”
A Cryptic Tease or Something More?
The unexpected post has fueled speculation about a potential collaboration between West and Anderson. Fans were quick to recall her cameo in his 2006 music video for “Touch the Sky,” a track from his critically acclaimed album Late Registration. However, neither West nor Anderson has commented on the situation, and representatives for both remain silent.
Pamela Anderson, a cultural icon in her own right, is no stranger to being in the public eye. She first appeared on the cover of Playboy in October 1989 and went on to make history by gracing the magazine’s pages 13 times—more than any other model.
Kanye’s History of Provocative Posts
This isn’t the first time Kanye West has stirred controversy with his social media behavior. In recent months, his Instagram feed has often featured his wife, Australian model Bianca Censori, in revealing outfits. Earlier this month, he shared photos of Censori wearing a sheer bodysuit that left little to the imagination. When faced with criticism over similar posts in the past, West bluntly responded to fans with a defiant, “Go f— yourselves.”
West and Censori tied the knot in December 2023, following his highly publicized divorce from Kim Kardashian. Known for his unpredictable and often polarizing behavior, West’s latest post has left fans debating whether it’s a hint at a creative project or simply another example of his provocative style.
For now, the intention behind the post remains unclear, leaving fans to speculate and debate. Whether it’s a teaser for something bigger or just another day in the world of Kanye West, one thing is certain: he knows how to keep people talking.
