Young Thug’s “Wyclef Jean” Video Has A Wild Backstory…

blame it on Meka January 17, 2017

Young Thug teamed with director Ryan Staake to craft this video for his JEFFERY single “Wyclef Jean,” but come time for the actual shoot he didn’t even show up for it. In fact, Staake never even met Thugger at all.

The basis behind the video was Thugger’s idea: a mansion party in the Hollywood Hills, an assortment of Fisher Price Power Wheels, and other assorted hijinks. However, Thug never went to the set, and Ryan had to make due with what he had. There’s a lot going on in this video, yet the story behind it is even wilder.
