You can chant the Future and Kanye West 'I Won' song and mean it -- if you are winning their new [online game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-and-raye) that is. The rap duo recently released the song 'I Won' in homage to their "trophy wives" Ciara and Kim Kardashian. It has been reported as being somewhat objectifying to women, but Kanye and Future definitely did not pay any attention to those concerns because they just released an [8-bit music video](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-you-more) rendition of the tune.

The video game features two men, who are assumed to be Kanye West and Future, sitting in beach chairs watching bikini-clad and busty women walk along the beach in-front of them. The game then prompts you to to pass out trophies and gold chains to one another and to the ladies on the beach.
