Is Kanye West eating earwax in this video?

A video of American rapper Kanye West has gone viral on social media — but for the most disgusting of reasons.

The video, first shared by Twitter user @j0rgecastr0, shocked viewers with disgust as it showed Kanye West digging into his ear and then putting the same fingers to his mouth, in what appears as if the rapper is eating his own earwax.

Kanye can be seen standing among a crowd of people in the video, shot at the musician's Sunday service.

"So I didn’t even notice but I got a video of @kanyewest," wrote @j0rgecastr0 as he shared the video, which has so far already been shared more than 26,000 times on Twitter alone.
