Music video
A behind-the-scenes clip shot by Derick G. and images of the video shoot were released in November 2011,[2][3] before the official music video was released on January 31, 2012.[4] It shows Bow Wow wearing a spiked leather face mask, accompanied by leather and chain-clad models,[2] and rides in a Bugatti.[4] Lil Wayne is seen wearing a T-shirt reading "Weirdo", shorts and Vans, and holds a skateboard.[2][3] Rapper Birdman makes a cameo, appearing alongside the artists. In the clip, Bow Wow's female co-star takes a guitar and smashes his plaques. Bow Wow explained the plaques resemble his old albums and their destruction represents a "new beginning" since he signed to Young Money Entertainment.[3][4]
