There, you can see him sit lifelessly in a church congregation until eventually, he\u2019s unmasked as an alien and taken away. Squint a little closer, though, and you can see Fabio Jackson, a famous lookalike and impersonator for the King of Pop.<\/p>\n<p>As you can imagine, people had jokes in the comment sections. One person referenced \u201cSlow Jamz\u201d on how Fabio must\u2019ve been the \u201clight-skinned friend [who looks] like Michael Jackson.\u201d Then, another person merely quipped that Kanye West is the only one who can resurrect MJ for a music video.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kanye-west-brings-in-michael-jackson-lookalike-for-new-music-video\">Kanye West Brings in Michael Jackson Lookalike for New Music Video<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-savage-platform-youtube-placeholder\" data-component=\"youtube-placeholder\">\n\t\t<button type=\"button\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Play video<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" width=\"72\" height=\"50.76\"><use href=\"#am-symbol-youtube-play-dark\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/HBMy-y2wb4I\/maxresdefault.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 480px)\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/picture>\n\t\t<\/button><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<template><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YE - FATHER (feat.

There, he addressed everything from the deeply problematic anti-Semitism to how his bipolar disorder went largely ignored.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI lost touch with reality,\u201d Kanye West admitted in the letter. \u201cThings got worse the longer I ignored the problem. I said and did things I deeply regret. Some of the people I love the most, I treated the worst. You endured fear, confusion, humiliation, and the exhaustion of trying to have someone who was, at times, unrecognizable. Looking back, I became detached from my true self.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then, Ye wrote about wanting to get back to what people loved him for all along. \u201cAs I find my new baseline and new center through an effective regime of medication, therapy, exercise, and clean living, I have newfound, much-needed clarity,\u201d Kanye West said. \u201cI am pouring my energy into positive, meaningful art: music, clothing, design, and other new ideas to help the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the letter, he wasn\u2019t expecting anyone to forgive him overnight or at all. Instead, he wished to \u201cearn your forgiveness\u201d and to receive some grace along the way. With <em>Bully<\/em> finally released on streaming services, he\u2019s living up to the promise of getting back to music. <\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 1 -->\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.vice.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kanye West has always had a deep affinity for Michael Jackson.
