Just days after winning fans over with his latest single, ‘Single Again,’ rapper Big Sean dropped a cinematic, short-film to accompany the tune.
Shot in May, the visual – shot in Detroit and prominently featuring acts local or native to the Motor City – stars real life couple Keith Powers and Ryan Destiny among other notable figures from the area. Seeing Sean portray a celebrity under fire for assumed romantic infidelity, the music video is somewhat of art imitating life as many assumed the 31-year-old was the cause of the failure of his relationship with singer Jhene Aiko.
“I know what it’s like to be in social scandals where even with no information/ evidence, just people assuming will blame you and turn on you,” he wrote on Twitter upon the release of the video. In a statement, Sean elaborated on his Twitter commentary and said: “The video has a lot of important messages, but the main one is for people to ‘wake up and smell the roses’ in a world where we wake up and check our phones instead.”
Wise words. Watch the video inside:
So cute! I love Keith and Ryan. They are goals not no damn fake Ciara and Russell.
I don’t like his little ass or this song.
Y’all mad late with this, it came out 6 days ago js
I LOVE Ryan Destiny! I can’t wait for the world to see how talented she is! In my opinion, she reminds me of a budding Kelly Rowland on her way to a 2.0 version.
