INGLEWOOD, Calif., June 23 (UPI) -- Kanye West is set to premiere a music video for his single "Famous" during a special live streamed event.

The event will be taking place live at the Forum in Inglewood, Calif., Friday at 10 a.m. PT with tickets starting at $25.

Fans not in attendance will be able to view the festivities exclusively through music streaming service Tidal, similar to the outspoken rapper's The Life of Pablo premiere event at Madison Square Garden back in February.

Tidal will then stream the video exclusively for a week following its debut.

Previously, an unofficial music video for "Famous" featuring Master of None stars Aziz Ansari and Eric Wareheim made the rounds online featuring the comedic duo enjoying spaghetti and wine.

"Famous" is notable for reigniting West's longstanding feud with Taylor Swift after he infamously rapped on the track, "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that [expletive] famous."

Swift then took aim at West during her Grammy acceptance speech in February but mentioned in April during an interview with Vogue, "I think the world is so bored with the saga. I don't wanna add anything to it, because then there's just more."

However, West's wife, Kim Kardashian, spoke out against Swift in an interview recently with GQ stating that she was contacted about the lyric and that she gave West the okay to use it.

"She totally knew that ["Famous"] was coming out. She wanted to all of a sudden act like she didn't," Kardashian said also noting that there is "video proof" of West's phone call with Swift who she claims "totally approved that [line.]"
