Rapper Kanye West has stunned the world with his gift to wifey Kim Kardashian on her 40th birthday – a holographic video message from her late father, Robert Kardashian. A lawyer by profession, Kardashian succumbed to esophageal cancer back in 2003, aged 59.
Calling it a "surprise from heaven", the reality TV star posted a video of the holographic birthday wish her late father had "sent" her way through his "genius" son-in-law, Kanye.
The hologram, that emerges out of pixels, tells his daughter that he is watching over the family while reminiscing about Kim's childhood days when he used to drive her to school and groove to the beat of "Who Put The Bomp" by Barry Mann.
Netizens noted that the entire thing went from "weird" to "weirder" when the holographic Kardashian tells his daughter that he sometimes drops hints of being around, "like when you hear someone make a big peefy (peefee)– or when you make a peefy", which, according to the comments probably means "farts".
Kim's sister Khloe Kardashian dropped a thank-you comment to Kanye for "the most thoughtful gift ever".
Netizens suspect Kanye roped in Friends star David Schwimmer to embody the late Kardashian because he was cast as the lawyer in a series called "The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story".
