I was on Trippie Redd’s Love Me More Tour while we shot this video. It was a day off in Des Moines, Iowa. I had videographer Zach Hurth and gang with me, so we decided to pull off something last minute. We couldn’t rent any exotic cars last minute so we just found this random car lot warehouse, dressed up and made this happened. Random shit.
