Kanye West continues his artistic promotional run for his upcoming album Yeezus with a new teaser which has recently hit the net.  The trailer which serves as a teaser to the album features Scott Disick portraying actor Christian Bale’s character and reenacting a scene from the 2000 film American Psycho.  Also starring the in the trailer as a gullible victim is Kim Kardashian’s friend Jonathan Cheban.  

In the clip above, Disick is seen behaving strangely, pacing back and forth, praising Kanye West’s Yeezus album while “New Slaves” plays in the background, and wielding an axe to which he eventually uses to gruesomely kill Cheban’s character.  For Kanye, this type of outside the box promotion works simply because it’s different and will prompt a discussion among viewers.
