Music video

The official music video for the song, directed by Brthr, was released on January 31, 2019.

[8] [9] Consequence of Sound described the video, stating "it’s like a very bad, Hollywood ensemble action film, except the only star you’re getting is Lil Pump, which is… well, disappointing is an understatement." [10] Highsnobiety described it as "evoking a Mad Max-inspired setting with a Gucci-clad Pump partying it up in a desert, surrounded by video vixens wielding flame cannons and other weaponry."
