Twitter users were left bewildered after Kim Kardashian posted a video of her Valentine’s gift from Kanye West: Kenny G playing in her living room surrounded by roses.
NO BIG DEAL KENNY G IN MY LIVING ROOM!!! Happy Valentines Day 💋💋💋 pic.twitter.com/A1GD0UlEwu

The clip shows the famed saxophonist doing his thing in a sparse room denuded of furniture, with single roses in individual vases scattered over the floor.
And while Kim seemed more than happy with the gift from her rapper husband, for others it seemed like something closer to a “nightmare”.
Kenny G is the worst possible thing you could find in your living room. Worse than alligators. https://t.co/do4XX9v8bg

It’s like a scene out of Knightmare.“Where am I?”“You’re in a room, be careful as there are loads of flowers all over the floor and you can’t knock them down as Kenny G will hear you and attack.” https://t.co/SKc4xWh2d5

I respect Kenny G but this looks like a room setup in one of those "Saw" movies https://t.co/NTcm0zOdGt

A lot of people were more interested in seeing what happened next.
Great content but really just need the follow up clip of him trying to get out of there without breaking 100 bud vases. https://t.co/n46s6cGPWg

What does Kenny G do after this? Does he just pack up and leave like he's some local musician for hire or does he hang out with Kim and Kanye? https://t.co/Ul0ViKJ6Fk

Some were struck by the opulence of the scene.
This is why we need a higher marginal tax rate. https://t.co/x9gwWc2Qet

Others were worried for the saxophonist’s safety.

Kenny G is 100% trapped in the Kardashian/West house and is sending out an SOS with this video. pic.twitter.com/bHPkwyzBfz

And some were just concerned about the personal assistants.
Forget about Kenny G, this is how celebrity personal assistant hell looks like. pic.twitter.com/ngrpBWLHvu

But one question remained unanswered – did Kanye himself even know this was going to happen?
when you're only 80% sure you hired Kenny G to come to the house but ok pic.twitter.com/fOQQvLISY5
