The song itself is about Kanye cheating on his girlfriend/wife with another girl, but the paparazzi caught him. His girlfriend/wife, having huge pride in herself, decides to take it to the farthest level.
In the video, Kanye West co-directed the video to make it follow the meaning of the song where his girlfriend/wife is punishing him. To really get the meaning of the video, you have to follow the lyrics.
"She's in the mirror, dancing so sleazy" - Kanye is talking about the girl he was caught cheating with. His girlfriend/wife proceeds to do the same where she becomes this "sleazy" person and burns the clothes, making the fire the "flashing lights", which is also similar to the cameras the paparazzi used to take the pictures of them having an affair.
"As I recall you love to show off
I never thought that you would take it this far" - As said before, Kanye's girlfriend/wife has a lot of pride in herself, so when she found out that she wasn't good enough for Kanye, she decides to kill him with a shovel.
