Update

2:35 PM PT — Bianca Censori is giving fans a look at the artistic process behind being a music video director … sharing an early mock-up of the set and thanking designer Cody Fusina for helping bring her vision to life.

There aren’t many stars bigger than Kanye West … but, when you put Michael Jackson in a music video, the “Smooth Criminal” is bound to steal some attention!

The rapper released the music video for his new song “FATHER” — directed by his wife, Bianca Censori — off his album “BULLY” early Saturday morning … and it features an eclectic cast — with a knight on horseback, a couple astronauts and even Travis Scott, who is also featured on the track, making an appearance in the clip.

But, the real scene-stealer sits a few rows behind Ye in the vid’s church setting … a man who appears to be Michael Jackson in an all-white suit.

MJ stares straight ahead for much of the video until he eventually marches out of the church as part of a long wedding procession.

At first, some online thought Ye had used an A.I. likeness of MJ because the man sitting there looks so much like the late pop star … but, it turns out Fabio Jackson — a well-known MJ impersonator — is really the Man in the proverbial Mirror.

He’s been resharing congrats from tons of fans online … and, we gotta say, he nailed the King of Pop’s look.

As for Ye … consensus online is that — after years of antisemitic tirades and other shocking behavior — the artist is back at his best. The song and music video are getting a ton of praise online.

Kanye’s taking the stage at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles next week … unclear if Fabio plans to pull out the moonwalk alongside him in the city of angels, or any of Ye’s other stops on his world tour!
