Absurdity reigns supreme at the expense of a serious message.
Kanye West and Lil Pump teamed up on Sept. 7 for a cartoonish collaborative track that comes with an equally absurd music video.
The new song premiered at the first-ever Pornhub Awards, where Yeezy served as the creative director. At the event, West unveiled the bonkers video for “I Love It”, which was directed by himself and Amanda Adelson and executive produced by Spike Jonez.

Furthermore, “I Love It” has a reported 115 million-plus streams under its belt globally across platforms.

The awards ceremony was hosted by adult film star Asa Akira at the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles. West not only helped design the outfits of every presenter at the show, he was the inspiration behind the phallically shaped trophies. He also released a line of sweaters in association with the event.
West, who got involved with the ceremony after admitting on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” that he still looks at Pornhub, also performed along with Teyana Taylor.
