Director Ryan Staake explains how he was able to direct the bizarre video for Young Thug’s “Wyclef Jean,” without the rapper showing up to the shoot.
Thugger appears in the beginning of the video snacking on Cheetos as he raps, but Staake didn’t shoot that and never even met with Thug. According to Staake, Thug sent him that footage and after the Atlanta rapper failed to show up to the shoot, he shot it anyway, with consideration of Thug’s requests.
Staake explains how the whole video came to be with hilarious commentary throughout the video, while models and kids make out the scenes Thugger was supposed to appear in.
“Wyclef Jean” is off Thug’s last year release of the ‘Jefferey’ album.
