AceShowbiz - A$AP Rocky has given "Highjack" a music video treatment. A few weeks after releasing the song, the "Praise the Lord" emcee treated fans to its black-and-white visuals.
Dropped on Wednesday, August 21, the clip was directed by Thibaut Grevet along with Rocky and his AWGE creative agency. It shows the rapper delivering his bars in an oversized, very stylized house-like set.
Rocky initially released the tune on August 2. On the track, the A$AP Mob star seemingly clowned Drake by making a reference to his partner Rihanna, with whom he shares two children.
"These ni**as want my wife bad, the people want my next track," the 35-year-old, whose real name is Rakim Athelaston Mayers, spits. "Ni**as swear they pimpin', Scottie sippin', get your wife back."
People believed the lyrics were a response to Drake, who had previously poked fun at fans' lack of interest in new A$AP Rocky music on his "Family Matters" diss. It's unclear if Rocky's bars were actually aimed at Drizzy.
Rocky and Drake began feuding last November when the latter appeared to diss Rihanna on his track "Fear of Heights". Rocky retaliated on a Kid Cudi song and later on the Future and Metro Boomin track "Show of Hands". Drake responded with a diss on "Family Matters", calling out Rocky's real name and referencing his relationship with RiRi.
Rocky previously dissed Drake on "Show of Hands", referencing Drake's son's mother and implying that he slept with her before Drake. However, fans generally agreed that Rocky's criticisms were weak, given Drake's own romantic history with Rihanna.
Beef aside, Rocky will release his new album "Don't Be Dumb" soon. The new project is set to arrive on August 30 after some delay.
